45680	Did you ever hear of Blind Tom, brother?"
45680	Do you feel the utmost confidence in his honesty, sir?
45680	Get it now, do you, old pal?"
45680	Get that now, Wally?"
45680	Get that, do n''t you, Wally?"
45680	Get the airport yet-- Wally?"
45680	Glad you arrived safely; was that your ship I chanced to notice hovering over the airport about eleven?"
45680	Got those chilled- shot shells I want to tryout, did you, Wally?"
45680	Gwine up right naow, suh?"
45680	Haow kin yeou do it, suh, I''d shore like to know?"
45680	Heading for that foreign steamship, is n''t that cloud chaser?"
45680	Herriott?"
45680	How does the ground look to you, buddy?"
45680	I presume, sir, the new amphibian is here, and waiting for me?"
45680	I''m jest awonderin''whether us Southern kids ever_ did_ have a gen- u- ine ole swimmin''-hole in them_ won_-derful days, eh, what?"
45680	Jest hear''em whoopin''it up, will yeou, suh?"
45680	Perk at one time burst forth,"did yeou ever in all yeour life listen to sech queer sounds as them?
45680	Soak that in, both of you boys?"
45680	There came a slight exclamation, then--"Who is it speaking, please?"
45680	What else is there''baout the boat we''ll''preciate, boss?"
45680	You get the point, do n''t you, Wally, boy?"
45680	You say there were several speed boats and launches fast to the sides of the big freighters, when you glimpsed them?
45680	ai nt it jest the limit, apullin''the wool over the eyes o''one o''the darnedest sharpest newspaper boys as ever was?"
45680	naow ai n''t that fine?"
45680	somethin''mebbe naow Mr. H been atellin''you- all, eh, suh?"
45680	the other was remarking;"then after all the party at the soda counter was n''t quite a stranger to you seeing he evidently had learned your name?"
45680	was_ he_ hangin''''raound after all?"
45680	weuns ought to know what kinder stuff, eh, partner?"
45680	what is it, boss?"
45680	you do n''t say, brother?"
31426	All done up brown and slick, Jack old hoss, now what?
31426	All set, Perk?
31426	And so this is where our friend has his secret hideout at such times when he so mysteriously disappears from his big show place near Miami? 31426 As what, partner?"
31426	But hold on a bit-- mebbe now somethin''s a''goin''to strike up we''ll both be sorter glad to set eyes on-- looky there, old hoss, what do you see?
31426	But what makes him keep all this smuggling business clear of this wonderful show place near Miami?
31426	But what''s the big idea, partner?
31426	Course, you knocked up against the gent then, eh Jack?
31426	Do we tow the ship behind the sloop, partner?
31426	Do you mean he''s got a collection there, Jack?
31426	Er--''bout how long will we be in makin''some sort o''start, boss?
31426	Give up?
31426	How about a little grub for a change, partner?
31426	How''bout spendin''the night here, partner?
31426	How?
31426	I calculate now it means we c''n move around an''get tabs on this here hideout o''the gent we''re so much in love with, eh, what?
31426	I get you, boy-- the machine- gun, is it?
31426	I swan, but you''re right there, Jack-- which looks kinder like he did n''t mean to strike out for Miami, do n''t it?
31426	Jack, I''member there''s a log a''lyin''right over there-- why could n''t I use that an''really break through?
31426	Jack-- what''s happened-- are you bad hurt, buddy?
31426	Just so, and what d''ye reckon we''re going to do with it?
31426	Know how long you''ll be away, Jack?
31426	Looks like it might a come all the way across the gulf-- d''ye think from some Mexican port, Jack?
31426	Me, I''m jest awonderin''?
31426	Meanin''we c''n get somewhere without tryin''to tow the rum- boat behind our crate, and making a long and tiresome job o''it, eh what, partner?
31426	Mebbe the Lockheed- Vega comin''back again?
31426	Notice that he''s already banking, so as to lay his course toward Cape Sable-- square in the south-- get that, do n''t you Perk?
31426	Now would n''t that jar you?
31426	Paper, you say?
31426	Partner, would you mind tellin''me what about this here Oswald Kearns?
31426	Say, what sort of a crazy gyp are you to want to talk things over while we got this scrap on?
31426	So-- you think that''s a queer name, do you? 31426 That''s our boat you''re standin''on, and we need it in our business, see?
31426	Think that''s this here Kearns, partner?
31426	Was he tickled to learn how we managed to run off with that slick little sloop that carried so neat a pack o''cases marked with foreign stamps?
31426	We do n''t want him to give us the slip, since he''s the on''y prisoner we got, do we, partner?
31426	Well, I guess now that would queer our game, would n''t it, partner?
31426	Well, we''ve got the rum- boat okay, have n''t we?
31426	What do I see but another crate humping along this way, an''outen the no''th in the bargain?
31426	What is it, Perk?
31426	What next, Boss?
31426	What''re we goin''to do with this chap?
31426	What''s that matter to you?
31426	What, me? 31426 When do we hop- off, then?"
31426	Why not?
31426	Would n''t that jar you?
31426	Yeah, an''what might that be?
31426	Yeah-- but how?
31426	You do n''t say?
31426	You got me guessin''partner,said the puzzled Perk;"then who''s mixed up in the shindy, I want to know?"
31426	You got me in a tail spin, partner-- lift the lid, wo n''t you, an''gimme a look in?
31426	You heard me warn them to keep a watchful eye out for smugglers and hijackers by land and sea and air? 31426 You mean_ tonight_ while I was picking up a few winks of sleep-- is that a fact, Perk?"
31426	A bit tired in the bargain I take it, partner?"
31426	A few more steps and he would have reached the well-- then what must take place?
31426	An''now I wonder where we''ll be sent for the next big job we tackle?"
31426	An''that goes, partner, see?"
31426	But Jack, tell me, you do n''t think he''s got our man alongside him, do you?"
31426	But how''bout draggin''that ere mudhook up off the ground-- think we c''n tackle the job between us, Jack?"
31426	CHAPTER XXIX A LAST RESORT Meanwhile how fared Jack in his share of the attempt to corner the defiant and persistent law- breaker?
31426	Could anything be fairer than that, Perk asked himself, preparing for business at the drop of the hat?
31426	Could this later fire have been directed at Jack, who had unwisely exposed himself at the side window?
31426	Do n''t think they c''n lamp us lyin''here, do you, Boss?"
31426	From this time on seems to me we''d be wise to play a lone hand, an''not bother about takin''any gyps into our confidence, eh what, Jack?"
31426	Get that do you, Perk?"
31426	Get that, Kamarad?"
31426	Got a line on the racket, old boss?"
31426	Got that piece of stout rope I gave you?"
31426	How about Jack?
31426	How does the land lie over there?"
31426	How''bout that, old hoss?"
31426	Is it all right with you, buddy?"
31426	Listen to''em squabble, will you, boy?
31426	Mebbe now you noticed some sort o''crate just vanishing among them clouds off toward the east as you breezed along?"
31426	No objections, have you, Perk?"
31426	Now I wonder what he wants to barge in for when things seem to be doin''their prettiest for us fellers?
31426	On a previous occasion the same thing had handily proved its efficacy, so why not again?
31426	Perk was asking,"mean to kidnap both o''these guys Jack?"
31426	Say, ai n''t this the boss job though?
31426	See here, what''s the matter with you, staring that way, Perk?"
31426	So he used to fish in them passages''tween the mangrove islands years ago, did he, Jack?"
31426	Strikes me they''re a''searchin''for somethin'', Jack, which might be the pair o''us, eh, what?"
31426	Tell me, did this Mr. Ridgeway fork over any news worth knowin''?"
31426	Well, I''m asking you again, where did you ever run across it-- who ever spoke it in your hearing, Perk?"
31426	What could he do should this crisis come upon him, Jack was asking himself as he crouched there and counted the minutes passing by?
31426	What''s her name and where are you from?"
31426	What''s it mean, Perk-- was he kicking up a mess around here?"
31426	Whatever under the sun is he doing, I wonder?"
31426	Who got fooled that time, I want to know, Gabe Perkiser, you smarty?"
31426	Why d''ye suppose we did n''t see the crate before?"
31426	Would it be proper to set the bally boat afire and see all this hot stuff go up in flames?
31426	but ai n''t this the life, though?"
31426	do n''t I know how impatience is my besettin''sin and ai n''t I always a''tryin''to curb it?
31426	ejaculated Perk,"that there''s the place we learned they was shippin''Chinks over to Florida from, ai n''t it Jack, boy?"
31426	partner, what''s broke loose, would you say?"
31426	so_ this_ is where he dropped down, is it?"
31426	that drummin''noise, it''s stopped-- wonder if they got out to the sloop or else smell a rat an''are lyin''low till they make it a dead certainty?
31426	that''s so, old hoss,_ what?_ Mebbe now the shoe''s on the other foot, an''it''s the blamed sloop that''s got us held up.
31426	the weight do n''t count with such a husky as me, old hoss an''how do we know what''s goin''to happen before we gets back here?
31426	two may be company, but three''s considered a crowd and we might have found we''d bitten off more than we could chew, so what does it matter?"
31426	what d''ye mean by sayin''that, old pal?"
31426	what''s this I''m seein''partner?"
31426	why not?"
10996	''Allow me to ask,''said the soldier,''your advice, as to the part which a true friend of his country should take, in these times?'' 10996 ''But tell me,''said Crosby,''before I go, how will you escape suspicion?''
10996	''By whose authority is this?'' 10996 ''Can I be introduced to him?''
10996	''Could you introduce me to some of the company?'' 10996 ''Could you introduce me to some of your neighbours of this way of thinking?''
10996	''Cross to- night?'' 10996 ''Do I understand you?''
10996	''Do you leave here soon?'' 10996 ''Good evening,''said the stranger--''which way are you travelling?-- below?''"
10996	''Have you many of your way of thinking in these parts?'' 10996 ''I wonder what he''ll think_ now_?''
10996	''In this pack, madam? 10996 ''Is it so?''
10996	''Is this possible?'' 10996 ''Look at this stack, sir-- what do you think of this?''
10996	''On Tuesday evening, at the barn of Mr. S----; what say you, will you be present?'' 10996 ''One more question,''said Crosby--''who put it into your heart to deliver me?''
10996	''Perhaps not-- but I am sure you were not long since at Fishkill? 10996 ''Sir,''said Crosby--''do you know the character of the people who live around you?''
10996	''That''s the secret, is it?'' 10996 ''To S----?
10996	''Val,''said he, knocking the ashes from his pipe--''you know tee shentlemen of tee armee? 10996 ''Val,''said the Dutchman,''how you go?--on shank''s mare?
10996	''Well, Mr. Crosby,''bawled out the captain,''what say you? 10996 ''Well, my lad,''said the captain,''do you understand burrowing?''
10996	''What is it?'' 10996 ''What news?''
10996	''What sort do you wish?'' 10996 ''What?''
10996	''When and where does the company meet, before marching?'' 10996 ''Where is he?''
10996	''Who are you?'' 10996 ''Who is he?''
10996	''Why so?'' 10996 ''Will you join us?''
10996	''Would you like to enlist?'' 10996 ''You are going to enlist into the army, are you?''
10996	''Your company is full, then?'' 10996 ''Your resolution is honourable,''said Mr. Jay--''but may you not be of greater service, in another way?
10996	And did Crosby tell him?
10996	And what story shall I tell you, my son?
10996	But did he not do wrong to conceal his opinions?
10996	But you would wish your brother to know the_ reason_ of things, would you not, master Henry? 10996 Did Crosby tell him that he would go below?"
10996	Did n''t he want to see his mother?
10996	Did the captain show him the roll?
10996	Did you say, father, that mortars Were_ short_ guns?
10996	Do you wish to know the_ original meaning_ of the words, my son?
10996	Father, could a soldier dodge a cannon ball?
10996	He was justly rewarded, was''n''t he, father?
10996	How are bombs fired, father?
10996	Is not that a French name?
10996	Is that the meaning of the word tory?
10996	Pray, father, may I interrupt you to inquire why Crosby did not tell who he was, and in that way escape?
10996	Pray, father, may I interrupt you, to inquire what was meant by the''neutral ground?
10996	Pray, father, what are shells? 10996 Pray, father, what did she mean by Miller''s opiates?"
10996	Pray, father, what is a muster- roll?
10996	Pray, father, who invented bombs?
10996	Shall you tell us about some battle, where you fought?
10996	Then, turning to Crosby--''I have seen you before, I think, sir?'' 10996 Was Crosby a whig?"
10996	Was Crosby seen by them?
10996	Was Enoch Crosby a minute man?
10996	Was he a general, father?
10996	Was that man a tory, father?
10996	Well, father, did they hang up Crosby for a scare- crow?
10996	Were any measures adopted to retake him?
10996	Whence were the names whig and tory derived?
10996	Which way was that?
10996	Who were the committee at White Plains?
10996	Why did Crosby wish to see that?
10996	Why not, father, if neither the British, nor the Americans, occupied it?
10996	Why were they called''_ minute men_,''father?
10996	Why, you simpleton, John, do n''t you know better?
10996	Will you tell me a story this evening, father?
10996	Worse than the British, father?
10996	_ Enoch Crosby_? 10996 ''But, sir, how so?'' 10996 ''Have you any place of enlistment hereabouts, that a body could join, if one were so minded?'' 10996 ''Madam, have you heard the_ news_?'' 10996 ''Why so much hay in one stack?'' 10996 *****What noise is that?''
10996	And you go little farther, you see two roats-- you musht not take bote of''em-- understand?''
10996	Benedict, when he saw him,''have you got back, Crosby?
10996	Come, my good fellow, shall I enter your name?''
10996	Did I ever tell you about_ Enoch Crosby_?"
10996	Do you know where it lies?"
10996	I am a shoemaker, madam-- perhaps, you have some work for me to do?
10996	I have been among them-- I know them-- I know their plans-- and--''"''Can you give me their names?''
10996	Is that likely, when we know how to manage?
10996	Puckle tee pest shaddle on mine horse, and pring him to tee horse plock tirectly-- you hear?''
10996	Taking to their boats, the next day they reached the_ Isle Aux Noix_?"
10996	There''s such work now- a- days, that a body do n''t know nothing what to say or do-- pray, what do you carry in that huge pack?''
10996	Vat for tey rite you?--eh?''
10996	Well, what think you now?
10996	What say you, shall I enter your name?''
10996	What should he do?
10996	Where are Henry and John?
10996	Why do I see you thus?''
10996	Will you tell it, father?"
10996	Yaw-- you see dat road pon de hel?''
10996	_ John_,"Did the people find walnuts there, father?"
10996	_ William._"What did that paper contain?"
10996	alive yet, father?"
10996	asked Crosby, while he and the farmer were at work--''can it be thunder?''
10996	asked Crosby,''does he keep the key himself?''
10996	exclaimed the captain of the tories--''it''s needless to shed blood-- what are your terms?''"
10996	exclaimed the schoolmaster,''do my eyes serve me?
10996	father, I thought a spy was an odious character?"
10996	father, who were they?"
10996	father-- pray, what was that?"
10996	ha?''"
10996	inquired the stranger-- his keen eye settling on the steady countenance of Crosby--''do you wish to know, which party a real patriot should join?''
10996	is it you, Crosby?''
10996	roared out the captain,''you are afraid the muster roll will fall into bad hands-- are you?
10996	said the farmer,''do you see yonder mountain, west?''
10996	sir-- did you ask for lodgings?
10996	uttered the other--''are you, then, indeed, an enemy to your country?
10996	vociferated he, in a tone of thunder,''Sentinel, what is the meaning of all this?''
10996	you know the story, I trust-- can you tell it to your brother?"
61040	''What''s the matter with you?''
61040	''What''s this mean?''
61040	Again why?
61040	And why not?
61040	And why?
61040	Are all Departments of the Government patriotic?
61040	Are they unaware that the Englishman is the worst servant in the world if he is not trusted, but the very best if full confidence is extended to him?
61040	Are we children to believe such official fairy- tales?
61040	Are we doing enough in other directions?
61040	Are we doing the same?
61040	Are we going to permit, when the war is over, a repetition of all this?
61040	Are we methodical; are we thorough?
61040	Are we not, indeed, coddling the Hun?
61040	Are we to muddle the business of making peace as we muddled the preparations for war?
61040	Are we told the truth about the war?
61040	Assume a reversal of the prevailing conditions: would Germany have been so foolishly indulgent towards us?
61040	Assume that the spy is here; how are we to prevent him getting out?
61040	But before whom is my friend, the Belgian ex- detective, to place his information?
61040	But if this, indeed, be the real cause-- a lack of knowledge of the essential facts of the situation-- whom have we to thank?
61040	But who will do this work if the"authorities"so steadily refuse, in order to bamboozle the public, to perform their duty?
61040	But would Germany, who for seven years prepared for war, overlook the vital question of her food supply?
61040	Can I, or any man in the street, believe that we are''fighting for our lives''while the enemy lives contentedly among us?
61040	Can it be met by the leisurely methods with which we have hitherto been content?
61040	Can it be supposed for an instant that the Germans do not know?
61040	Can they not see that their foolish policy of suppressing ugly facts is, day by day, breeding greater distrust and apathy?
61040	Can we praise too highly the patriotism of those who, even under such circumstances, have answered the call of duty?
61040	Can we shut our eyes to the fact that in this shameful exploiting of the very poor by the unpatriotic lie all the elements of a very serious danger?
61040	Compare our own methods with those of methodical matter- of- fact Germany?
61040	Could any facts be more illuminating than these?
61040	Could any greater and more glaring official untruth be told?
61040	Could anything be more heart- breaking to the men who are fighting and dying in the trenches?
61040	Did the German never ask for his salary?''
61040	Do they-- at least do some of them-- realise this?
61040	Does any sane human being, remembering the treatment of Belgian civilians who just did this, expect that such advice will be followed?
61040	Does anything remind the thoughtful man that we are at war?
61040	Does the knowledge that Englishmen may be led, but can not be driven, convey nothing to them?
61040	Has it taken the people fully and frankly into its confidence?
61040	Has the nation had the clear, ringing call to action that, unquestionably, it needs?
61040	Have we not heard of Crimean veterans dying in our workhouses?
61040	I ask, could mischievous and bungling stupidity go farther than this?
61040	Is every enemy alien known, I ask?
61040	Is it a matter for wonder that so many have hesitated to join?
61040	Is it not a fact that the public are daily being misled and bamboozled?
61040	Is the Government doing enough to rekindle those impulses?
61040	Is there a reader of these lines who will heed them?
61040	Is there no lesson here for the wiseacres of Whitehall?
61040	Is there no lesson our authorities at home can learn from that deathless story?
61040	Is there no peril here to our beloved country?
61040	Is there, we may well ask, another race in the world that would have wrested such glory from the disaster at Mons?
61040	Moreover-- and this is of greatest importance-- are our Allies persuaded_ that we are really making the great efforts the occasion demands_?
61040	Now are we doing everything in our power to avert the threatening peril?
61040	Now where has it gone?
61040	See https://archive.org/details/britainsdeadlype00lequrich BRITAIN''S DEADLY PERIL Are we Told the Truth?
61040	Shall we seize the opportunity or shall we"muddle through"?
61040	Should I also write?
61040	The Government is exercising authority under martial law over Army and Navy; can not it get efficient control over the industrial army?
61040	The lesson assuredly will not be lost upon her: shall we make sure that it is not lost upon us?
61040	Then he at once asks, and very naturally too, why do the authorities officially protect them?
61040	To what end?
61040	We are glad, of course, to learn of the success, but would it not be well for the nation to learn of the failure?
61040	We have"muddled through"in the past: shall we"muddle through"again?
61040	What are we doing to meet that peril?
61040	What can be more ridiculous than this?"
61040	What is the result?
61040	What more need be said?
61040	What pro- German influence in high quarters can be at work to connive at our undoing?
61040	What, I wonder, was the value of the Scarborough raid as compared with the recruiting posters?
61040	Where did it go to?
61040	Who could not win with such teams as those named above?
61040	Who is to blame for this fattening of our enemies at the expense of the poor?
61040	Who knows?
61040	Why should coal in a village on the banks of the Thames be actually cheaper than the corresponding quality of coal when sold in London?
61040	Why?
61040	Why?
61040	Why?
61040	Would I assist in locating them, and prosecuting a full inquiry?
61040	Would she have treated us with more consideration than she showed towards the starving population of Paris in 1871?
61040	Yet, in spite of that vast number, I still ask"Are we doing enough?"
61040	Your Highness''s servants-- when did they come North?''
61040	_ Are we doing enough_, I ask again, for the gallant men who have served us so well?
45627	Ai n''t you goin''to let me in on the fun, partner?
45627	Airships did you say, Jack?
45627	All fixed, are we brother?
45627	And if it ai n''t a dead secret would you mind tellin''me what sort of a jaunt we''re pushed on to this time-- is it to be a hunt, partner?
45627	And what makes you feel that way, Perk?
45627	But just the same you ai n''t any too-- er-- sanguine-- is that the word I want, partner? 45627 Come far, sir?"
45627	Crater Lake, Jack?
45627	Did you manage to save him, sir-- tell us-- or-- or was it too late?
45627	Do we leave him there, after comin''so far to help the poor lad? 45627 Do you mean air- mail crates or some of those pilots who''re searching for signs of Buddy Warner?"
45627	Every feller had his hand in but poor me; what''ve I done to be cheated out o''my share like I was a baby? 45627 Expected to meet up with some muck like this I guess, eh, partner?"
45627	Forgot to ask you whether they''d learned anything about our lost friend, Buddy Warner-- how about it, Perk?
45627	Four thousand feet an''more, eh?
45627	Glory be Jack, an''what have you got in that wise coco o''yourn, if it''s all right for you to up an''spill the game?
45627	Gosh amighty Jack, did you see me knock the ole hippopotamus silly when I opened on him right smart? 45627 Got any sort o''idee where we might be right now, Jack?"
45627	How long we been kickin''through this mess?
45627	I kinder guess you''re itchin''to get our bearings again Jack?
45627	Is it too badly wrecked for you to fix up so I can pull out of this awful hole and take off again?
45627	Jest see how the''ve changed a heap o''the instruments we used to swear by in them days o''the big war over in France, eh Jack? 45627 Joke hey?
45627	Listen, Jack-- don''t you hear it ahead there?
45627	Meanin''to get seven winks o''sleep, ai n''t you?
45627	Never say die, eh? 45627 No wildcat skirmishin'', an''heatin''about the bush for_ you_, eh partner?"
45627	Pretty girl this time struck you where your heart is soft, eh, buddy?
45627	So that''s all settled, hey? 45627 Tell me, did you come through this crash without being seriously hurt yourself?"
45627	That bally English doctor wanted to take the arm off-- said it''d save my life, but what use would life be to a birdman with only one arm? 45627 Then the mystery is as deep as ever and they have n''t yet found out what happened to poor Buddy?"
45627	We''ll help you get them out o''the bus, lady,he hastened to say;"if so be you''ll kindly show us where they be-- ain''t that so, partner?"
45627	What about, old pal?
45627	What ails you now, comrade?
45627	What''s goin''to be done about it, eh partner?
45627	Whatever ailed you Perk, to set that thing going like mad?
45627	Where to, Jack-- north, east, south or west?
45627	Whereabouts?
45627	Who knows, Perk?
45627	You are searching for him, I take it for granted?
45627	A sort o''yearnin'', hopin''but kinder afraid things might n''t turn out so well in the end?"
45627	Ai n''t there a way for us to slant down an''drop on that sandy shore his boat''s restin''on?
45627	An''what did you think was the worst story in the bunch, Jack old hoss?"
45627	Bart Hicks played one on his unsuspectin''guests then, did he?"
45627	But say, things keep on pilin''up worse than I ever ran across in all my whole life-- look at what''s ahead there-- can you beat it, Jack?"
45627	Could anything be said to make a mother''s heart thrill more with joy-- or that of Buddy''s best girl also?
45627	Did you notice them sitting there when we came in?"
45627	Did you say you would take a look at my ship and find out what''s wrong?
45627	Do you agree with me, sir?"
45627	Do you think they are working on the same lines as the rest of us?"
45627	Get that now, brother, do you?"
45627	Hang it all, why could n''t I have been doin''some other sorter job where they might''a''let me off for a spell?
45627	Hey there, Cyclone, where''d you pop up from, old pard?"
45627	However did it happen you picked out this place to come down in, or was it just by a rare chance?
45627	I get you, partner,"he mumbled, not yet thoroughly aroused,"watchman, how goes the night, eh Jack, old hoss?"
45627	I reckon now you''re meaning an eagle, eh Perk?"
45627	I sure do hope now they ai n''t meanin''to bust in on our fine ship an''play hob with her-- wouldn''t that jar you though, partner?"
45627	I''ll promise to wake you up inside of three hours when you can take charge while I hit the hay-- how about that arrangement, boy?"
45627	Is that really and truly smoke curling up from over there?"
45627	It may assist me to remember the particular instance out of the hundreds I handled?"
45627	Jack, do you think they know who we are and got some sort o''grudge against us on''count o''the trade we foller, eh, what?"
45627	Jack, whatever c''n it mean, do you reckon?"
45627	Know him, Perk?"
45627	Mebbe you''ve noticed me takin''a look all around once in a while-- up in the air, I mean?
45627	Must they turn back, and possibly spend yet another dreary night in the little valley town, dispirited and with the poor girl in despair?
45627	Now, what about putting me wise to the game that was sprung on you tonight?"
45627	Now, what next I wonder?"
45627	Oh my stars, c''n it be possible we''ve run on to poor Buddy Warner so clost to help an''him stuck there like a pig in a poke all this while?
45627	Ready for it?"
45627	Remember that, will you, Cyclone?"
45627	Say, ai n''t that worth comin''out here to see?
45627	Shake hands with me, will you?
45627	Tear in an''tell a feller what it all was about, wo n''t you?"
45627	The dirty scoundrels-- wantin''to give you a_ ride_, was they?
45627	V WHEN A COG SLIPPED"What''s up, partner?"
45627	Want me to keep that right along, Boss?"
45627	We sure do strike the strangest happening in our line o''work, do n''t we?"
45627	What genuine reason could a girl have for such an overwhelming desire for action?
45627	What if the fool bird plunges madly at our ship?
45627	What should they do about it?
45627	What was this he saw projecting from the lake close to the shore?
45627	What was to hinder them seeking it out again, and finding a safe harbor for the hours of darkness?
45627	What will happen to us all?"
45627	What will poor Mother Warner say when she fails to hear from me as I promised?
45627	What''s the use ruining his hide?
45627	Where was the strange hermit of Crater Lake?
45627	Why did he not show himself when he surely must have watched their coming and successful descent?
45627	Why should she show such a yearning for a chance to continue her flight?
45627	Would their entire day be put in without a breath of cheering hope?
45627	all set now for another long spin, combin''the country as we go along, eh partner?"
45627	now ai n''t that the rottenest luck ever?"
45627	so that''s the bully sort of life you fellers in the Secret Service lead, is it?"
45627	ventured Perk, in a tone of injured innocence,"when did this beat in on us, buddy?"
45627	what d''ye think o''that measly rum- runner bobbin''up like a floatin''cork to annoy us again?"
45627	what is it, old hoss?"
45627	what was_ that_ now?"
45627	what''s this I''m seein''partner?"
45627	why was n''t there three bums in the bunch, just enough to go around; dang''em, why did they want to crab my game like that?"
41186	A secret message-- what?
41186	A well- paid friend-- eh?
41186	Ah, Monsieur Gerald,she cried, springing forward to greet me,"our friend Luigi has been telling me some very strange things-- eh?"
41186	And if I revealed the truth to your dear affectionate husband?
41186	And who are you?
41186	And, pray, who has applied for me?
41186	Are you quite sure,I asked,"that it is not verbena?"
41186	Are you sure they never perfume wedding cards in England?
41186	Are you sure? 41186 Are you, then, a friend of my country?"
41186	But what is the nature of this inquiry, Monsieur Sant?
41186	Decline what, my dear?
41186	Did he propose to go with you?
41186	Did she say where she was going?
41186	Did you perfume the cards before you printed them?
41186	Does he always go the same side of the Square?
41186	Except Doris, eh?
41186	From Vienna?
41186	Gentleman?
41186	Go back?
41186	Has Jeans arrived?
41186	Has Monsieur Cauvin many English friends?
41186	Has some been stolen, then?
41186	Has the Count told you that?
41186	Have you really taken leave of your senses, Guilio?
41186	He was about forty-- pale, with a dark- cropped moustache and rather bald-- eh?
41186	How are you feeling?
41186	How could you have met?
41186	How do you know?
41186	I wonder how many of you would have come back?
41186	If he were a friend of Gould''s, why should he do this?
41186	Is it all right? 41186 Is it not unusual, monsieur, to scent a wedding card?"
41186	Is that 7257 North?
41186	Is that Beppo?
41186	May I borrow this for a few days?
41186	My dear Elena, how does Austria know so many secrets of her enemies?
41186	Of what?
41186	Perhaps, Monsieur Sant, someone has been telling you I am a confirmed babbler?
41186	Some new development, I suppose, eh?
41186	Something fresh this time?
41186	Swedish also?
41186	That you, Rose? 41186 Then what is his game?"
41186	Well, and what does this mean?
41186	Well, has anything serious occurred?
41186	Well,I said, when we had been assured that no patent of any kind had been taken out by Cauvin,"what am I to do?
41186	What about his friend?
41186	What about the Dutch sailor?
41186	What about the gentleman who was with her?
41186	What do you make of it, Mr Sant?
41186	What has brought you over?
41186	What has happened? 41186 What is the matter?"
41186	What then-- eh, Elena?
41186	What?
41186	When does our friend expect Mr Thornton, as he calls himself?
41186	Where does his money come from, monsieur?
41186	Where is Guilio?
41186	Who is that gentleman?
41186	Who would have thought of meeting you here? 41186 Why should I?
41186	Why that particular book, and why so much trouble to get it?
41186	Why?
41186	You recollect Signor Corradini, who used to come to see us in Livorno?
41186	You will remember what I told you when I met you in Curzon Street? 41186 You will surely not give up yet?"
41186	Am I not Austrian?
41186	And who is` T''?
41186	And why, in defiance of all social custom, had it been scented with such a perfume as that of the stag- leaved geranium?
41186	Besides, if the man has an honest bargain to drive, why should he assume my name?"
41186	But how am I going to get this fellow?
41186	But how?
41186	But what has that to do with me?"
41186	But who had blundered?
41186	But why had she gone to Santander?
41186	But, my dear Sant, what is his motive?
41186	But-- there was a very big but: what was his business in the dead of night in an empty house in the West End in company of a suspected German spy?
41186	Could his suspicions have been aroused, I wondered?
41186	Do you understand?"
41186	Does this interest you?"
41186	For if"Captain James Easterbrook"was unknown in Chester, the home of his supposed bride, what was my chance of penetrating his disguise?
41186	Has monsieur returned for his dinner?"
41186	Have you got van Rosen and Easterbrook?"
41186	Have you heard of any attempt to secure the submarine secrets?"
41186	He knows of your difficulty in meeting that last loan which old Levitski, the Jew, in Milan, made to you a year ago, and--""How does he know that?"
41186	Hitherto Madame Gabrielle had been shadowing him; were the positions now reversed?
41186	How could the enemy know?
41186	How did Heinrich come to see the advertisement, and how did he know the key to the code?
41186	How did the news reach the Wilhelmstrasse so quickly?
41186	I wonder why?"
41186	If to them, then why not to me-- eh?"
41186	Now what can we do?"
41186	Rather curious, is it not?"
41186	Remember how he wriggled out of our hands in the Gould affair, when we thought we had him safely netted?"
41186	Tell me,"he demanded,"why are you wearing that glove?"
41186	That is the sum, I think?
41186	The fact is, I was wondering whether Blind Heinrich is taking any part in the game?"
41186	The question was: were they watching me?
41186	Therefore, you will swear that, whatever happens, and even if suspicion be cast upon your husband, you will never betray me?"
41186	Thyra"(_ the Christian name of Madame Bohman_)"will meet E.H."(_ was this Ernst Halbmayr_?)
41186	Was I, I wondered, coming to grips at last with our problem?
41186	Was the perfume verbena or scented geranium, and had the card any special significance?
41186	Were they signals?
41186	What contretemps had occurred?
41186	What did the bogus card indicate?
41186	What does Jules Cauvin know about motors?
41186	What does he propose?"
41186	What has happened?"
41186	What have you got on hand now?
41186	What is he after?
41186	What is your opinion?"
41186	What is your plan?"
41186	What machinery?
41186	What was the meaning of the various coloured bows on the parrot''s cage?
41186	Who are they?"
41186	Why Peterborough, I wondered?
41186	Why had Jules Cauvin''s unknown correspondent gone to the trouble of having it printed?
41186	Why had Madame Gabrielle left for Santander when obviously San Sebastian was the real centre of the plot?
41186	Why on earth should the book be advertised in cryptogrammic form in a French newspaper?
41186	Why should I lie?
41186	Why should Thornton be acquainted or have anything to do with our arch- enemy, Ernst Halbmayr?
41186	Why these changes?
41186	Why?
41186	Will you come down to Piccadilly and have some dinner with me?
41186	You remember the Marx carburettor?
41186	You surely are not hinting that I should betray my husband''s secrets-- the naval secrets of Italy?"
41186	You understand?"
41186	You''ll come, of course?"
45629	A pack of timber wolves, you mean, buddy-- the big, gray chaps that can pull down a deer as easy as a mountain lion would do the job?
45629	Across the border-- into Canada, partner?
45629	Ai n''t quite forgot Gabe Perkiser, have you, ol''top? 45629 Ai n''t she ready to take the air, Boss?"
45629	An''tell me, where do we go from Spokane?
45629	Another o''them slick hunches o''yourn, eh partner?
45629	As what, Boss?
45629	Awake are you, ol''hoss?
45629	But how could anybody know what sorter job we''re goin''to wrestle with next, even''fore we got a glimmer o''it ourselves?
45629	But-- I''m younger than you, Perk, spryer too-- it ought to be my game, do n''t you see?
45629	But-- see here Jack, you do n''t mean to let''em have the merry ha ha on us, I sure hope? 45629 Can you tie that?"
45629	Even if you did manage to hang on and climb inside, what good would it do-- how get the woman and child across the gap?
45629	Get him yet?
45629	Goin''to use the pontoons again, eh partner?
45629	How about it now?
45629	How''s things?
45629	Is n''t it about time for_ grub_?
45629	It''s a girl then?
45629	Jack, you''re meanin''to drop down, ai n''t you?
45629	Meanin''who, if it''s all the same to you, partner?
45629	Mebbe now, it might be that you could give a sorter guess''bout that job we''re goin''to have tacked on to us right away? 45629 Must be drawing close to the fur- trading post, I''d reckon, eh partner?"
45629	Nearly two o''clock right now-- c''n we get off this afternoon, partner?
45629	Okay Boss?
45629	Say, was you meanin''to pick out one o''these lakes for a campin''place tonight, eh, ol''hoss?
45629	So, that''s one of them, is it?
45629	Sure did, Jack, and now the next question is, can we hop off from here when the right time comes along?
45629	Sure you saw some one are you, Perk?
45629	The chase is on then, it seems, Perk; what d''ye reckon they''re after?
45629	This the right place?
45629	W- hy-- what in tarnation thunder is that big monster, Jack?
45629	Well, what do you think of that for a corking dodge?
45629	Well, what of it?
45629	What do you mean buddy?
45629	What dye s''pose them yaps think''bout us flyin''so low down over their heads like we wanted to take a peep at the mule pack train?
45629	What''s that, boy?
45629	What''s that, buddy? 45629 What''s the matter at Spokane?
45629	What''s the matter-- what ails you, Perk?
45629	What''s the name he goes by up there?
45629	What''s the program after we''ve cleaned up this mess, eh partner?
45629	When and how did this happen?
45629	Where bound, for the love o''mike?
45629	Where did you get that picture?
45629	Which way now, partner?
45629	Who cares?
45629	Who''s been handlin''you rough, brother?
45629	Why-- what-- here, what business you got takin''my property?
45629	Wonder what did ail the boat to make that stick go dead so you could n''t get a wiggle outen it?
45629	Yeah?
45629	Yes, what can it be, do you think, Perk?
45629	Yes, what is it, Perk?
45629	You reckon then they''ll have a lookout posted to command the approach, and get wind of any threatening danger?
45629	Adrian-- Adrian_ what_?"
45629	An''if it''s a fair question, ol''hoss,_ when_ do we cal''late to pull out o''this burg?"
45629	Any more light on who did that dirty, sneaky job last night, eh what?"
45629	Any real particular news come your way down thar in town, Jack?"
45629	Birdseye Baker, glad to see you''re still on deck-- ain''t forgot Gabe Perkiser, have you, Oldtimer?"
45629	But say, what are we goin''to do''bout this thing-- why do you strike down closer, I want to know, Jack?"
45629	But whatever can it be mules has got to do with coaxin''us to turn aside from our main trail, I''d like to know?"
45629	But, to change the subject, I''m botherin''my poor brain tryin''to figger out which way we''ll face when the orders come breezin''along?"
45629	Can you make the venture, lady?"
45629	Can you tie it for keepin''a poor feller''s nerves all on edge?"
45629	Did I hear you say_ mules_?"
45629	Did n''t he say the close season was on with all game that you c''n eat and that the Mounties might get me if I took chances and nailed that big boy?
45629	Do n''t I know him from his moccasins up, the queerest but straightest man in the whole Northwest Territory?
45629	Ever meet up with Sergeant Lowden, Perk?"
45629	From now on this has to be a whirlwind campaign, and no mistake-- get that, partner?"
45629	Have n''t forgotten that, eh, Perk old fellow?"
45629	How about that, Perk?"
45629	How about you and the boy?"
45629	How long will we be stickin''round this Spokane airport, I wonder?"
45629	How''bout it, Jack, ol''hoss?"
45629	How''bout it, old hoss?"
45629	How''bout that, Jack?"
45629	How''bout the place you took dinner at-- good enough to stand an encore, buddy?"
45629	I came up here to hunt big game and if it happens to run on two legs, why, what''s the odds?
45629	I''ll dream o''this for a month o''Sundays but ai n''t it a thrillin''sight though?"
45629	I''m set to carry along every shell I fetched up here with me-- this is the job they''re meant for, an''why be a miser''bout it?"
45629	III BRIDGING THE GAP"Which window, Perk?"
45629	Jack, that was a great snap you gave me an''chances are, Mister-- er, hey, what''s this mean?"
45629	Knowed it was somethin''that begun with a B, did n''t I tell you?
45629	Let me have my way,_ please_, partner, wo n''t you?"
45629	Look at that burst of flame will you?
45629	McGregor?"
45629	Might have bust our biler an''then where''d we been, tell me?
45629	Now I wonder if you thought to ask what her name might be?"
45629	Now would n''t that jar you though-- such great luck?"
45629	Perk seemed to catch it first, for he jumped up and broke loose by crying:"Hear that, partner?
45629	Perk suddenly gasped,"see that black smudge blowin''in from a side street ol''hoss?
45629	Reckon now there''s anythin''in that report, Jack?"
45629	Say, did n''t we feel a great big thrill just before making the grab?
45629	She''s a genuine cloud- chaser, boy, an''do n''t take any guy''s dust-- am I right''bout that, Boss?"
45629	So we''re meanin''to pick up a bunch o''news at Spokane, are we?
45629	Some o''them Bolshevik miners broke loose over in Idaho an''threatenin''to kick up general hell again like they''ve done so many times?"
45629	Then in addition to those chances, what if their ship became totally disabled?
45629	Then what''s to be done?"
45629	Then, as if noting the absence of Old Jimmy the factor, Perk continued, looking anxiously around:"But where''s Jimmy right now, I want to know?
45629	They still keep on coming though; men, women and lots of children who''d be better off at home I reckon still, what would you have?
45629	Under the unfortunate circumstances what can I do to further your plans, sir?
45629	What ails the Mounties, I wanter know, when they slip up on a job like this?
45629	What say to taking a turn around and getting a view from another quarter?"
45629	Would it be possible to make the jump from such a wretched field, with its many bumpy spots calculated to cause the moving craft to wobble fiercely?
45629	Would n''t that jar you, ol''hoss?"
45629	XIV THE BOOTLEG PACK- MULE TRAIN"What''s up?"
45629	ai n''t this glorious sport though?"
45629	an''do we expect to try an''rustle stolen mules this time?
45629	and do you reckon there''s any truth in what this paper says or did it jest boil up in the brain o''one o''them reporters, eh Jack ol''hoss?"
45629	but ai n''t life queer though?"
45629	but then what''d I find to worry''bout if I did n''t pick on the way we''re kept in the dark up to the last minute?"
45629	but this is a heap int''restin''I''m sayin'', eh Jack?"
45629	guess now you might mean whether they had anything to fear''bout our ship or not, eh partner?"
45629	guess you must mean the notched wings, eh, partner?"
45629	jest hear''em whoopin''things up, will you?"
45629	jest see the cowardly critter lope out o''here, will you, partner?"
45629	let me make the try, partner-- sure I c''n do such a little stunt okay-- let off, wo n''t you, Jack?"
45629	like I might be in a cutout-- brain all in a mixup-- what c''n we do, Boss-- knock that cop over an''skoot upstairs?"
45629	now ai n''t that a danged shame though?"
45629	now, what in thunder does all that distant racket mean?"
45629	partner, does it look to you like some crazy snooper set fire to the hangar under the belief that our ship was locked in there?"
45629	running this train in sections are they?"
45629	so,_ that''s_ the way the scent leads us, is it?"
45629	what''s all this mean?
45629	what''s been goin''on''round the post here, boys?"
41435	Are you sure it''s not a larger species of fish?
41435	Business? 41435 But has he not power to remove him?"
41435	But how is all this possible, you may ask, this feeding of Germany through neutral Scandinavian countries? 41435 Fascination for the sea?"
41435	For whom does Mr. Jim require it?
41435	How about your line of communications?
41435	Me?
41435	Now are you satisfied?
41435	Perhaps a cigar would cool you down a bit?
41435	Then what were you doing on board that trading boat in which we crossed from---- to---- last Monday? 41435 What for?"
41435	What is the result? 41435 Who sent you to ask for it?"
41435	Why not look in and see old Pedersen, the smuggler? 41435 Why should I interfere?"
41435	You know who we are?
41435	''Can we let through consignments to So- and- So in your capital?''
41435	''You can not persuade a civilian gentleman to rise until the world has been properly aired''?
41435	Am I not right, sir?"
41435	And sport?"
41435	And when the goods go on from Sweden to Germany, who relieves the Swedish banks?
41435	And why were you disguised as a common sailorman, all dirt and grease?"
41435	Ascertaining that Kiel happened to be our common destination, what more natural than we should select the same hotel to stay at?
41435	But how?
41435	But what powerful mysterious motives prompted its re- adoption after it had been rejected by the House of Lords?
41435	But you do not give me any idea of what my duties will consist-- to whom I am to report, or how?
41435	Can I give him the letter for you?"
41435	Can we release them?''
41435	Could the old smuggler have communicated possible suspicions?
41435	Could we have been seen at work on the harbour?
41435	Did she really take me for a blithering idiot, or did she entertain doubts on the matter?
41435	Do n''t you see where we are drifting to?
41435	Do you think that any nation, no matter how wealthy, can stand indefinitely such a strain on its wealth?
41435	Do you understand, my dear sir, what I want to convey?"
41435	He argued that if fate had ordained he should be blown up by a mine, instead of being drowned, what did it matter?
41435	He said:"Do you realise the tremendous pile of treasure we are pouring out in this contest?
41435	How can it be expected of him?
41435	How had the sign even come to be used?
41435	How is it that you seem to know it so well?"
41435	How long do you require to put your affairs in order?"
41435	How, when, and where had the local police or the military been led to suspect us, to hit our trail?
41435	I expect your paper would like to have such items of news?
41435	I met him as he descended the companion and asked him what he was playing at?
41435	If either of us, for example, were on a small island and we received a warning that a German had had orders to shift us-- what would you fear most?"
41435	If not an insult to them it certainly would be an insult to me, to be invited or even expected to meet in honourable(?)
41435	If this trade was honest and legitimate, why should these tactics be followed, and these precautions taken?
41435	Immediately came back the reply:"Is father really dead_ or only deceased_?"
41435	Is it another joke, like the whales_ with iron skins, or the spy_?
41435	Is it not possible that Sir Edward Grey, like the late Lord Kitchener, may not have been his own master?
41435	Lord Devonport added:"What has come of the much- vaunted order in Council declaring that no goods should either enter or leave Germany?
41435	Mr. Booth:"Is the noble Lord aware that the Germans in New York toasted the health of the Foreign Office at Christmas time?"
41435	Or can it be ascribed to the much- talked- of mysterious Hidden Hand?
41435	Or does the fault lie with the Foreign Office at home?
41435	Or has someone been telling you fairy tales?"
41435	Sir Samuel Evans: How many herrings in 50,000 tons?
41435	So why waste breath on these pleasure resorts?"
41435	Surely we must have some good and able men who do or can serve us abroad?
41435	The little matter of a permit for export?
41435	To what lengths would she be likely to go if she so decided?
41435	Twiggez vous?"
41435	Was it to be wondered at that from the soul of the Motherland prayers had so long and so often ascended?
41435	Was my companion everything I believed him to be?
41435	Was she worth a torpedo?
41435	Was the Government to blame for this?
41435	What I mean is, wherein would you be most careful, or most on your guard?"
41435	What are the reliefs?
41435	What better material could anyone wish for to help unravel a proposition like this?
41435	What can you mean?
41435	What could give more confirmatory proof?
41435	What could have been easier or more inexpensive than a quickly- cultivated acquaintanceship by a Secret Service agent with a person so named?
41435	What could we do?
41435	What countries would such a course of action have forced into war against us?
41435	What has Lord John Fisher done?
41435	What is the ultimate destination of these cargoes?
41435	What kind of business?"
41435	What mattered it to anyone, least of all to myself, if I crossed the Great Divide before my allotted time?
41435	What more simple and inexpensive than to bring about a consummation of such wishes?
41435	What of it?
41435	What on earth are you driving at?
41435	What possible reason could there be behind the scenes that ordered and upheld such a creed as_ Ruat coelum supprimatur veritas_?
41435	What use was block letter- writing to conceal identity if it was cyphered on Ambassadorial note- paper?
41435	What was held in the unseen hand and to whom was it extended?
41435	What was it?
41435	What would be her next step?
41435	What would happen next?
41435	Where did it come from?
41435	Which of the usual weapons did I prefer?
41435	Who had floated it?
41435	Who had given information and what did they really know?
41435	Who hesitated to question the service?
41435	Why did he not explain why our Fleet was not allowed to limit particular imports to neutral countries to certain fixed totals per month, or per annum?
41435	Why did we not do so?
41435	Why give a key to a gate, or a door, which could be left open?
41435	Why give a scrap of writing or paper of any sort?
41435	Why not try it now?
41435	Why permit such a man to come near the Embassy at all?
41435	Why see such a man personally?
41435	Why should he trouble us?"
41435	Why should she be noticed now, even by the most amateur belligerent, or by the freshest novice at the game?
41435	Why use English gold when Norwegian money was available?
41435	Why wait eighteen months to arrive at such a decision?
41435	Why were not these words used as soon as war was declared?
41435	Why, then, were these Ministers abroad allowed to remain in office, where they had been a laughing- stock and were apparently worse than useless?
41435	Why, therefore, should I now seek their lives, or to do them some serious bodily harm?
41435	Why, therefore, should they now seek to destroy me?
41435	Why?
41435	Why?
41435	Winston Churchill referred to in his memorable speech, and which has been the subject of so much surmise and comment?
41435	Would she remain silent, or would she make further inquiry?
41435	Would the Entente eventually achieve full consummation of its hopes, so devoutly to be wished?
41435	Would the nations involved cease their strife owing to absolute exhaustion and attrition?
41435	_ Was ever there such a comedy?
41435	who can tell how all will end?
34344	Ai n''t you Mr. O. K., that was out in Texas with Major J----?
34344	Are you both Yankee soldiers?
34344	Are you sure that your friends over there have not heard of your being in the army?
34344	Aunty,seeing that I was awake, came closer to my bed, and, in a kindly way, asked:"How is you dis mornin''?"
34344	But do n''t I have to pay something for the delivery?
34344	But, my dear boy, why did you refuse to take the oath of allegiance? 34344 But,"said the old scoundrel,"why did n''t you stay here last night?"
34344	Do you know Colonel Blank, of Baltimore?
34344	Does the Secretary want to procure any information as to General Patterson''s movements?
34344	How does a man feel in battle?
34344	How is it that your companion in the uniform ran away on the approach of our troops?
34344	How long have they been here?
34344	Is that so? 34344 It looks as if something was up, do n''t it?"
34344	Oh, you have passes, have you? 34344 Rd"did not seem to comprehend, and made the telegraphic signal for interrogation(?)
34344	Right away; do you hyar?
34344	Say, Baker, ai n''t you just playing off as a Dutchman? 34344 That''s enough, ai n''t it?
34344	What are they doing up there?
34344	What are they talking about so much; why do n''t they come on?
34344	What are you doing there?
34344	What did he say?
34344	What do they do with them?
34344	What regiment was your friend in?
34344	What shall I tell him?
34344	When did you see him?
34344	Where in---- are you going?
34344	Why,I said,"are we near the navy yard?"
34344	Yes, I know; but what soldiers?
34344	121 The Sergeant kindly Gave Him the Steel 441"To Father: I am Safe; Are All Well at Home?"
34344	282 Cavalry Picket on the Rappahannock 473"Colonel Mosby''s Soldiers, I Reckon, Sir?"
34344	338"Bill, Ai n''t He the Fellow?"
34344	66 An Interview with Parson Brownlow 304"Are You Union, or Confederate?"
34344	Addressing me courteously, he said:"What in the name of all that''s good brings you out on this road on such a dark night, disturbing our sleep?"
34344	Broome?"
34344	Ca n''t you go up there and see them for me?"
34344	Could I forget that banquet?
34344	Could it be possible that we were to be baffled at last?
34344	Dear me, what bass drums there were in General Patterson''s army; was n''t there one to each company?
34344	Did we catch any fish?
34344	Did you ever try to get into a hammock?
34344	Do n''t you see the''old man''is full?"
34344	Every person I have talked with for five minutes about Gettysburg, asks the question:"Were you there when Pickett charged?"
34344	He drew his chair right up in front of mine, looking me straight in the eye, as he said:"Now, my young friend, what is it that you propose?"
34344	He replied to my observation:"Yes; where did you come from?"
34344	Here are some Maryland secessionists being sent away down here to Tennessee to punish and coerce Unionists?"
34344	His reply to this put me off my pins entirely:"Well, why do n''t you all go to your own home in your own country?"
34344	How, then, could I explain this arrest to them?
34344	I asked only the one question--"Where do we go?"
34344	I made the signal for interrogation, or question, which all operators understand to mean,"I did not hear you,"or"What did you say?"
34344	I met at the hotel office my companion, the Colonel, who, upon seeing me, rushed over the office floor to say:"Why, where the devil have you been?
34344	I said more deliberately:"That message about Banks-- is there anything important?"
34344	I spoke first, with the desperation of an outlaw challenging a helpless traveler:"Are you Union or Confederate?"
34344	In a voice trembling with suppressed rage, he said, looking savagely at me:"Did n''t you see me at the theater the other night?"
34344	Instead of that, however, in a quiet, slow- speaking voice, I suggested involuntarily:"How about the Monitor and Merrimac?"
34344	Is n''t he just too nice?"
34344	It may also be asked why I bring this subject up at this late date, and after Hancock''s death?
34344	It must have been a violent shock to father, but why should I so write and rouse within all of you the bitter renewal of your grief?
34344	Making an appearance at the head of the stairway, she asked, pleasantly:"What in the world is the matter with you?"
34344	Never turning my head, I was walking on hurriedly when the blamed fool sang out after me so everybody could hear:"What?"
34344	Of course, I must have imagined the worst; who would not have done so under the same conditions?
34344	SKETCHING, ARE YOU?"]
34344	Sketching, Are You?"
34344	Superintendent here?"
34344	The Colonel said:"You have a letter to send home I am told?"
34344	The Colonel, who was the jolly fellow of this trio, said, laughingly:"Hello, boy, what have you been up to?"
34344	The General, without halting his slow movement, gruffly said:"Where is Slocum?"
34344	The first words the brass tongue of the instrument sounded to his startled ears were:"I am O. K."--this was my telegraphic signal--"Who are you?"
34344	The hint was sufficient, and to my hurried inquiry:"Are there any cavalrymen at the house?"
34344	The man on duty at the door looked at me with disgust as he said:"That''s no damned doctor, man; do n''t you know General Meade?"
34344	The officer now began to get mad and, in a commanding tone, inquired:"What is your business, sir, with the General?"
34344	The only consolation I got from the officer was,"Can your horse stand it?
34344	Then Lanyard with a contemptuous look, turned to Baker and said:"Say, Dutchy, you blasted rascal, you played me for a marine, did n''t you?"
34344	Then she added, laughing heartily as she spoke:"Did n''t you hear him slam the door?"
34344	Then taking my arm, familiarly, said:"Come along, the boys will all be glad to see you?"
34344	Then the old lady chipped in with:"Shall I send Mammy to help you bathe it with warm water, before you go to bed?"
34344	Then, in an undertone,"Are you all alone?"
34344	To gratify the General, and get around the question, I asked:"Is it''Rd?''"
34344	To his sleepy growl of"Who''s there?"
34344	Under the circumstances, what could I do?
34344	Under the circumstances, what else could I do but take this advantage of the good people?
34344	Was n''t there a Rebel camp near Leesburg, or was that the name of the town near that mountain?
34344	We passed the two men-- one of whom was in uniform-- and as we did so, I heard one of them, say:"That''s him, ai n''t it?"
34344	Were they going back to their Rebel camps?
34344	What are you doing?
34344	What can I do for you?
34344	What could I do?
34344	What could have been better for my purpose?
34344	What did I do?
34344	What did I do?
34344	What would have been the result,_ if_ Meade had been supported by Franklin, when he broke Stonewall Jackson''s line at Fredericksburg?
34344	What would you have done?
34344	When Covode crawled into the carriage, Mr. Moorehead said,"Well, what''s the programme?"
34344	When handing the paper back to the clerk, he remarked jocularly:"They have made you sign a mighty tight paper, have n''t they?"
34344	When he stopped his conversation long enough to hear me, he simply said, in his polite, kindly way:"Well, you come in and see me again, wo n''t you?"
34344	Where is Slocum now?
34344	Where is he?"
34344	Where shall your answer be delivered?"
34344	Who are you?"
34344	Who in---- are you, anyhow?"
34344	Who is it?"
34344	Why did n''t I get ahead of them?
34344	Why did n''t you say something to me before?
34344	Will you please give me your name?"
34344	With my own hand trembling on the telegraph key I sent my own message, as follows:"To father: I am here safe; are all well at home?"
34344	You do n''t know what that is?
34344	[ Illustration: TAPPING THE TELEGRAPH WIRE.--"ARE THE YANKS IN FREDERICKSBURG?"]
34344	[ Illustration: TO FATHER:"I AM SAFE; ARE ALL WELL AT HOME?"]
34344	[ Illustration:"ARE YOU UNION OR CONFEDERATE?"]
34344	[ Illustration:"BILL, AIN''T HE THE FELLOW?"]
34344	did n''t you tell me to keep close to you?"
34344	is a question often asked, or"Were you frightened the first time?"
34344	is that you, Yank?"
34344	now?"
45973	Ai nt it won- der- ful?
45973	Ai nt sech a tough looker as we know he is, eh, ole pal?
45973	Any fambly as yeou heard of?

45973	Bully boy, Jack; I''m tickled pink to hear such good news; when do we move in, tell me?
45973	Could anybody think up a finer and safer location for such an illegal plant than up here, where they could carry on their work without molestation? 45973 Dead certain be yeou, Jack?"
45973	Did yeou hear it?
45973	Dinner knocking harder than customary; or did you get a letter from your best girl, breaking off the engagement? 45973 Does that mean he might be fetchin''a last hour message, Jack?"
45973	First tell me, was the ship okay?
45973	Get a bite?
45973	Get through with your list, partner?
45973	Haow come, buddy?
45973	He must a been a fair good chap then, I guess, partner, eh, what?

45973	I notices, Jack, as haow yeou allers say_ down here_ when yeou mentions this cave; haow do yeou make that aout, partner?
45973	I reckon you''re referring to our old friend, Cool Slim Garrabrant, eh, Perk?
45973	I remember how furious you were, and saying it was a shame to be cheated that way, eh, Perk?
45973	If you do n''t expect him to swallow it what then, partner?
45973	Jest hear the people a shoutin''will yeou?
45973	Jest so, partner,Perk instantly commented;"an''what air yeou agoin''to pass on to me, I wanter know?"
45973	Just fishing again, eh, Perk-- want to know what I think covering the game, is n''t that so? 45973 Kin we climb daown outen this tree naow, partner?"
45973	Kinder reckon on makin''the jump then, air yeou, boss?
45973	Meanin'', I kinder guess, as heow that party might be in the Secret Service like we air-- does that fill the bill, Jack?
45973	Meanin''it''s the end o''a perfect day, eh, what?
45973	Meaning the earth, I reckon, eh, Perk?
45973	More organization stuff, eh?
45973	Naow whatever kin yeou mean by that same remark, Jack, ole boy?
45973	Not any, partner,he told Perk, resolutely;"what do you take me for, a weakling, or a shirker?
45973	Nothing else you noticed, partner?
45973	Ready, all?
45973	Remember my telling you about that cook chap they''ve got, waiting on them, and all that, Perk?
45973	Say, doant tell me yeou run acrost that big hill- billy o''a grizzly, Jack?

45973	Seems like there ai nt nawthin''we kin do to make things easier, eh, buddy?
45973	Show tonight, Jack?
45973	Simeon-- Simeon Balderson?
45973	So you reckoned he was some interested in us, did you, Perk? 45973 So, that''s the wonderful Hawk, is it, partner?"
45973	Some important, I takes it, buddy?
45973	Somethin''o''a mob here tonight, partner?
45973	Still o''the opinion the kid might be his''n?
45973	Storm agoin''to hold us up, mebbe naow, partner?
45973	Sure thing, Jack, but did n''t he manage a wonderful landin'', an''keep from a bad smashup, on''y hurtin''his shoulder in the jam?
45973	Sure thing, Jack; then I kinder guess the letter must be from Headquarters?
45973	That''s what he''s adoin''then, yeou figger, eh, Jack?
45973	The first job we''re going to tackle is along the line of making a safe and sane landing-- you get that of course, Perk?
45973	Then do yeou guess they knowed we was ahead on the same track, eh, Jack, ole hoss?
45973	Then what_ does_ ail you, boy-- something gone wrong with your plans-- can I do anything to ease the strain? 45973 Then you recognize it from the brief description he gave on the side of his tissue- paper chart, do you, Perk?"
45973	Then you say it''s a portrait of Slim Garrabrant?
45973	Then-- yeou_ know_ him, I''m understandin''boy?
45973	We were talking about a certain scoundrel who''s name we''ve seen so often of late in the papers-- remember, Perk?
45973	Well, what''s aour programme agoin''to be?
45973	What puts you in the dumps so, Perk?
45973	What''s eating you, buddy?
45973	What''s happened here?
45973	What''s in the wind this time?
45973	What''s that, partner?
45973	Which tree?
45973	Which would mean we got some hours to kill,''fore mornin''comes along to give us a show fur aour money, eh, Jack, ole boy?
45973	Why not, when they''ve pulled off some mighty big shake- downs during the last few months, and must have raked in a heap of dough? 45973 Why waste any more time when there''s no need?"
45973	Wonder what time it kin be, Jack; caint get a peep at my wrist watch in all this darkness, yeou know?
45973	Yeah, yeou said it, partner-- I kinder guess naow it was a ship up here in this same sea we''re buzzin''through, do n''t yeou?
45973	Yeou doant kinder guess Simeon he might give us away in his excitement, eh, partner?
45973	Yeou says as haow yeou knowed this guy Simeon some, did n''t yeou, partner?
45973	Yeou_ would_ do jest that, ole pal, would n''t yeou? 45973 You mean that sound in the fog pack, do n''t you?"
45973	You seem to know some one, Perk, from what you''re saying?
45973	You''re going to know everything that I do, Perk; that goes without question; for how could we work together as a team if we pulled contrarywise?
45973	Ai nt that time come''raound yet, buddy?"
45973	And then, when they had a good grist of bogus stuff to scatter over the western country, how easy to send it out aboard that swift airship?
45973	But I wonder--""What do you wonder, Perk?"
45973	But did yeou happen to hear a ship takin''off jest after we slid aout, boss?"
45973	But like as not we orter be makin''up aour plans, had n''t we, Jack?"
45973	But the devil of it is, can he ever be retaken?
45973	CHAPTER VIII THE WINGED MESSENGER"Coast seems to be clear, eh, Jack?"
45973	CHAPTER XXV SQUATTERS''RIGHTS"Yeou doan''t reckon as haow anybody kin see a fire, if so be I started a little blaze back in here, do yeou, partner?"
45973	Do we get a move on right away, mate?"
45973	Forgive it, Perk, wo nt you?"
45973	Get out, and stay out, d''ye hear, boy?"

45973	How about it, Perk?"
45973	How yeou gittin''on with things, Jack?"

45973	I get yeou, buddy-- meanin''the queer pass that''s so narrow three hossmen could n''t enter abreast-- is that straight, Jack?"
45973	I see you''re trying to keep him from swilling it down, Perk; must have some object in letting the stuff run all over his back as you''re doing?"
45973	I wonder neow could it be them gluttonus birds they been pickin''the bones o''thet poor Simeon what disappeared''raound this section o''kentry?
45973	I wonder--""What neow, Jack?"
45973	If it keeps on we''ll be apt to forget heow to handle a ship, an''get air shy-- neow_ would n''t_ that same be a tough joke on us poor guys?"

45973	Think that happy day ever will come, Jack?"
45973	We could n''t play our hands if the man we want so badly has gone off with his crowd, to hold up some bank, or treasure train, could we?
45973	We jest got to do aour best, an''leave the rest-- aint I been adoin''that same mighty near all my whole life?

45973	What in tarnation kin_ he_ be doin''out this way-- yeou do n''t figger he''s goin''to butt in on aour job, do yeou?"
45973	What''s the answer, Jack?"
45973	Who knows where he lives?"
45973	Yeou ai n''t agoin''to stagger me by sayin''that this here cook might be_ him_?"
45973	Yeou mean that boob was no other than Slippery Slim hisself, the Ole Scratch we''re runnin''after right at this minute, doant yeou, partner mine?

45973	why did yeou ever mention sech a thing, Pal Jack?
34973	A secret organization?
34973	Ah, a younger brother?
34973	Ah?
34973	All right,said Webster, immeasurably relieved,"but how do we manage it?"
34973	An''dat young leddy am gwine to meet somebody, mebbe her husband, at de landin''?
34973	An''you cum frum Richmun''dis mo''nin?
34973	And if I am,said Scobell,"what do you want?"
34973	And what if he is in the Federal army? 34973 Are you quite sure of that?"
34973	Are you still keeping mum?
34973	Are you subject to fits?
34973	Are your names Lewis and Scully?
34973	Arms? 34973 Bill Zigler, what are you doing here?
34973	But about the authorities--I asked--"is there no danger to be apprehended from them?"
34973	But how can that interfere with the election?
34973	But what can we do?
34973	But what crime has the stranger committed, that he should thus be taken into custody?
34973	But where are you from?
34973	But,said I,"have all the plans been matured, and are there no fears of failure?
34973	Captain,said Mr. Scott, addressing him,"will you give me the particulars of the arrest of this man?"
34973	Did he ask anything about me?
34973	Did you come from the Yanks?
34973	Did you ever see it done?
34973	Did you see any one last evening who is inimical to the cause of the government?
34973	Did you speak to me, sir?
34973	Do n''t offer to touch me, Dan McCowan, or I''ll----"What would you do, now?
34973	Do you know anything about the hotels there?
34973	Do you know anything of McClellan''s plans for an advance?
34973	Do you know this man, and that he is all right?
34973	Do you know whether your mistress writes to any one besides her husband?
34973	Do you suppose,added Webster,"that Kentucky will allow the Northern army to march through the State without showing fight?"
34973	Drivers? 34973 Great G-- d, Webster, how did you manage to get away from the Yanks?"
34973	Have the objects of the league been fully explained to him?
34973	Have you arms enough for all of them?
34973	Have you no more sense than to reveal yourself_ here_? 34973 His name?"
34973	How did that occur?
34973	How did you get through the Union lines?
34973	How did you manage to get inside the camp?
34973	How do the men who operate the machine manage to attach the magazine to the vessel they design to destroy?
34973	How do you account for General McClellan''s''masterly inactivity''during all these months that his army lay at Washington?
34973	How far is it to Wilson''s landing?
34973	How often do you meet?
34973	I am ready now, Major,said he, cheerily,"have you any further commands?"
34973	I am, eh?
34973	I can readily believe that,said the detective,"but if it is so dangerous here, how am I going to deliver these letters?"
34973	I dun spose you''s on de way to Yu''ktown?
34973	I thought you would come to your senses at last; but when did you come down here?
34973	I understand; but who is this John Hart you mention-- can we trust him?
34973	I want to telegraph to the_ Herald_,said the second correspondent--"what is the use of obtaining news if we can not utilize it?"
34973	In Washington, sah,replied Uncle Gallus;"don''you remember you saw me at Majah Allen''s, when I was dah libin wid Missus Morton?"
34973	Is Mrs. Morton in communication with her husband?
34973	Is it a conspiracy to betray me into the hands of the enemy?
34973	Is it a success?
34973	Is n''t that a little severe?
34973	Is the landlady all right?
34973	Is there a new sensation this morning?
34973	Is there no way of getting over about here at all?
34973	Is your name John Hart?
34973	It does not look very favorable for my reaching Washington to- morrow, then?
34973	May I ask where you are from?
34973	May I see him before he is taken away?
34973	Names?
34973	No doubt of it, Doctor; but how do you expect to get two hours''notice?
34973	No, I do n''t remember you,said Webster, determined to ascertain whether the old darky did know him;"where have you ever seen me?"
34973	Now,he exclaimed, turning to Curtis,"What is your business?
34973	On the word and honor of a gentleman?
34973	See heah now, is yure name John?
34973	Severe? 34973 So soon?"
34973	So you want me to take you to Fredericksburg, do you?
34973	The gentleman is up- stairs in my room,said Earl;"will you go up now and see him?"
34973	Then you do n''t want to be free?
34973	This is bad news about Lewis and Scully, is n''t it?
34973	This is infamous,exclaimed Webster;"what can Winder mean by arresting this woman, and what am I charged with that renders your orders necessary?"
34973	To go where?
34973	Under arrest? 34973 Was he an officer?"
34973	Was the landlady looking for us too?
34973	We heard you had been taken prisoner-- how did you get out so soon?
34973	Well, John,said Webster at length,"what is the prospect for crossing the river to- night?"
34973	Well, then,smiled Webster,"I suppose I will have to wait his pleasure; but ca n''t a fellow get a little whisky and cigar?
34973	Well, uncle,said Webster, as the old man caught up to him--"did you speak to me?"
34973	Well, what is it, Miss Harcourt? 34973 Well,"said Webster,"will you be kind enough to send for Mr. McPhail, and ask him to telegraph to Major Allen, and inquire if Tim is all right?"
34973	What Major Allen is that?
34973	What crime have I committed?
34973	What do you desire?
34973	What do you mean, sir?
34973	What do you mean, you scoundrel?
34973	What do you mean?
34973	What does this mean?
34973	What for?
34973	What has become of your assailants?
34973	What has happened to frighten you so?
34973	What have you got to sell?
34973	What is his name?
34973	What is it?
34973	What is the matter, Jem?
34973	What is the matter?
34973	What is your business?
34973	What is your hour of meeting?
34973	What is your name?
34973	What is your name?
34973	What is your name?
34973	What is your native State, Uncle Gallus?
34973	What is your society called?
34973	What makes you think so?
34973	What makes you think that?
34973	What regiment does he belong to?
34973	What''s this?
34973	When did this occur?
34973	When do you propose to let us out?
34973	When will your next meeting be held?
34973	Where do you live?
34973	Where from?
34973	Where to?
34973	Which is which?
34973	Which way is he going?
34973	Who do you want to see there?
34973	Who is he?
34973	Who is it?
34973	Who should assume the task of liberating the nation of the foul presence of the abolitionist leader?
34973	Whom have you here?
34973	Why could n''t I go, too?
34973	Why did n''t you tell them that, when they called out to you before?
34973	Why do you think so?
34973	Why do you think so?
34973	Why, Mr. Pinkerton, what are you doing here?
34973	Why, Webster, how do you do? 34973 Why, Webster, is that you?"
34973	Why,I interrupted,"what can they know about Lincoln?"
34973	Why,replied his friend, laughingly,"have n''t you heard of the subterranean headquarters?"
34973	Yes,said Scobell;"but how do you know these things?
34973	You are a Northern man?
34973	You are going to Humboldt?
34973	You do n''t tell me that you took the oath, Sam?
34973	You have been a slave all your life, I understand?
34973	You have news for me,said Webster, impatiently;"what is it?"
34973	You l- licked''em like the d- d- devil at Williamsburgh, d- d- d- didn''t you?
34973	You will not tell him what you know of Webster, and his connection with this matter, will you?
34973	You''ll come back?
34973	You''se de man dat I''dressed, sah-- done you know me?
34973	Your age and weight?
34973	Your mistress intends to return to the South, then?
34973	Your name is Gallus?
34973	After a few minutes a window was raised and a voice inquired angrily:"Who are you, and what do you want?"
34973	After waiting a short time, and hearing no response, he added:"What''d you say?
34973	Ai n''t them your s- s- sentiments?"
34973	And another voice, further away, cried:"Who''s there?"
34973	And who is the man who arrested him?"
34973	As he entered the cell where Webster was reclining upon his couch, he roughly accosted him:"Webster you have sent for me; what is it that you desire?"
34973	At these words, Scobell stepped forward and said in a low voice:"Do you belong to the League?"
34973	At this point the question might be asked, whose plan should have been followed?
34973	Bingerdon?"
34973	But how will I get there?"
34973	Can you attend to this?"
34973	Catching the drift of the conversation, Webster stepped forward and said:"I beg pardon, sir; will you permit me to ask one question?"
34973	Could it be that they were Webster and his faithful attendant Mrs. Lawton?
34973	Did he suspect them?
34973	Do n''t you see I''m rounding to?"
34973	Do n''t you see that in another moment you''ll have us beached?"
34973	Do you know gentlemen, I suspected you were all wrong from the start, and you were not keen enough to impose your story upon me?
34973	Do you know where he is?"
34973	Do you think you can manage it for them?"
34973	Feeling alarmed lest the helmsman was not attending to his duty, my son yelled:"Captain, what under heaven do you mean?
34973	Filled with curiosity as to the identity of the man, Webster carelessly observed to the landlord:"That fellow seemed a little nervous, does n''t he?"
34973	Has anybody been here to see you?"
34973	Have you any objections?"
34973	Have you heard the news?"
34973	How am I going to do it?"
34973	How to intercede in their behalf?
34973	How, therefore, to arrange his plans, so that these papers would be intercepted and the ambassador detained without arousing his suspicion?
34973	I am glad to see you; when did you get back to Baltimore?"
34973	Immediately a guarded voice on the inside was heard:"Are you white?"
34973	Linkum am a- comin''by''m- bye; Did you ebber see a niggah gal dancin''in de moonlight?
34973	May I ask your name, sir?"
34973	On nearing Gloucester Point, they were hailed by a sentinel, with the usual challenge:"Who comes there?"
34973	On one of these occasions Governor Owens eyed his companion sharply a moment, and then asked:"Can I trust you, sir?"
34973	Presently he heard a shrill whistle from his conductor, which was replied to from above with the query:"Who comes?"
34973	Raising himself to his full height, he exclaimed:"Rome had her Brutus, why should not we?
34973	Seward?"
34973	Some one in the party remarked:"Are there no other means of saving the South except by assassination?"
34973	Stepping directly up to Price Lewis, he addressed him:"Do n''t you remember me?"
34973	The absorbing and exciting question in the South was:"Would the South submit to a Black Republican President and a Black Republican Congress?"
34973	The driver suddenly pulled up his horses, and then the soldier, in a tone of authority:"Who are you, and where are you going?"
34973	The gruff- voiced speaker then said:"Mr. Webster, is it your desire to become a member of this knightly band?"
34973	The question to be decided this evening was:"Who should do the deed?"
34973	The work is light-- now what do you say?"
34973	There seemed to be several persons here, and a voice, that was evidently meant to be tragical and impressive, demanded:"Whom have we here?"
34973	These questions were properly answered, and as the clerk was noting them he asked,"Might I ask what was the gentleman''s good luck?"
34973	They were about to take these from him, when Webster inquired:"Who was the man who arrested me this morning?"
34973	This answer seemed to infuriate the man, and striding up to Webster, he asked, with an air of impertinence:"Are you a Southern man?"
34973	Wallace?"
34973	What then?
34973	What was to be done?
34973	What, then, is your true name?"
34973	Where had he met this darky before?
34973	Who can blame this man?
34973	Who can tell the thoughts that thronged through their brains, as the slow moving hours advanced toward the dawn?
34973	Who comes there?"
34973	Who, that has stood before the frowning scaffold, and with a free world before him, can utter words of censure?
34973	Will there, now, eh?"
34973	Will you drink her health with me?"
34973	You are not in earnest, Major?"
34973	You know stages are robbed out this way?"
34973	You noticed that man standing in the hall when we came in, the same one now sitting at the desk?"
34973	You''re_ here_, are you?
34973	and if so, by what means had he discovered who they were and what their destination was?
34973	exclaimed Lawton, as they came up,"are you hurt?"
34973	he continued,"and what is the news from the Monumental City?"
34973	how are you?"
34973	said the clerk, driving away with his pen;"will you be so good as to ask Mr. Mallory to step this way?"
34973	you were afraid of them, were you, and ran away?"
15302	''Pon my soul,he grinned,"you seem to be able to act on a hint, do n''t you?"
15302	''Well'', I said,''did it bite you or sayGott strafe England?"
15302	''When I read the writing,''he told me,''I think he is all robbish, but then I ask myself, Who shall put robbish in my invoices? 15302 ''You mean the Emperor?''
15302	About that size?
15302	After all, why not?
15302	An American citizen?
15302	And Clubfoot?
15302	And Desmond?
15302	And after?
15302	And if I had?
15302	And the third man you spoke of?
15302	And then?
15302	And those soldiers and that officer?
15302	Another glass of wine? 15302 Are Grundt and Schmalz going?"
15302	Are they all going beating?
15302	Are you English?
15302	Boonekamp?
15302	But Clubfoot,I asked,"who is he?"
15302	But can you trust him?
15302	But did n''t he tell you where he was going?
15302	But how can I get away from here?
15302	But how did you know we had the remaining portion of the letter?
15302	But then what does all the rest of it mean... all this about Achilles and the rest?
15302	But was he a deserter?
15302	But who is Clubfoot?
15302	But who is Stelze that he should give orders to me?
15302	But why''Achilles''with one''l''?
15302	But your chauffeur,I said,"what will he do?"
15302	But, Des,she said,"what do you want me to do?"
15302	But, Monica,I cried,"what about you?"
15302	But, see here, Richard Allerton,I said,"Francis would never spell''Achilles''with one''l''... now, would he?"
15302	By the way?
15302	Can I be of any assistance to you? 15302 Can you contrive to have Johann out of the house between 10 and 12:30 to- morrow morning?"
15302	Can you tell me where I can find him?
15302	Can you tell me where the booking- office is?
15302	Coming at eight is he?
15302	Could you get away back to the house by 12.30?
15302	Could you meet me alone anywhere outside at that time?
15302	Dear Herbert,I wrote,"would you mind looking after the enclosed until you hear from me again?
15302	Desmond?
15302	Did it work all right, sir?
15302	Do I give orders that they shall be forgotten? 15302 Do you hear the patrols?"
15302	Do you know what happened to those two gallant fellows?
15302	Do you know who had Kore arrested and shot? 15302 Do you know why Schmalz is here?"
15302	Do you mean arrested?
15302	Does the gentleman want it now?
15302	Dr. Grundt? 15302 Eichenholz?
15302	Francis,I said softly... and I spoke in German..."Francis, do n''t you know me?"
15302	Frau Gräfin?
15302	Good God, how can you be so shiftless? 15302 Had n''t we better truss him up?"
15302	Has it occurred to you, Herr Doktor,I asked,"that we have very little time at our disposal?
15302	Has n''t Meyer been registered with the police yet?
15302	Has the gentleman an appointment?
15302	Has the gentleman no little difficulty perhaps? 15302 Have n''t you really a corner?
15302	Have you a car here?
15302	Have you had an accident?
15302	He was an English officer, you see?
15302	Heard anything, you?
15302	How are you, Okewood?
15302	How do you like my idea?
15302	How many servants will there be in the house to- morrow?
15302	How? 15302 I am very late for my train, my friend,"I said,"would you get me a third- class single for Düsseldorf?"
15302	If us could drar his''tention away, yew could slip by, next time the patrols is past, could n''t''ee?
15302	Is Herr Eugen Kore at home?
15302	Is it a man''s name, a place? 15302 Is that Carter?"
15302	It''d be worse for yew than for me, supposin''yew''d be ca- art, that''s what t''other officer said, warn''t it?
15302	It''s worthless... what good do you think is this to me?
15302	Josef, where did you see that story you were telling me about an English spy assaulting a man at the Esplanade last night?
15302	Kore?
15302	Looks bad for me, does n''t it? 15302 May one come in?"
15302	Not a deserter, Herr?
15302	Now, what are we going to do with this?
15302	Perhaps you knew Francis?
15302	Philip Brewster? 15302 Pretty fair specimen of Prussian cynicism?"
15302	Seen anything?
15302	Shall I tell you what was in that telegram they just brought me? 15302 Shot?"
15302	So Stelze called to- day and gave you his orders, did he?
15302	So,I said,"he is going to take..._ it_ on with him, is he?"
15302	Surely you forget our gracious hostess, our most charming Countess? 15302 Terms?"
15302	That?
15302	The Berlin train has gone, Herr Doktor, but..."The Berlin train gone?
15302	The gentleman would doubtless like a German house?
15302	The maids too?
15302	The word?
15302	Then Tracy and the others...?
15302	Then where are they?
15302	Then you expected me to come after you?
15302	There be a feller a- watching for us up there?
15302	This your brother? 15302 To make a long story short, Herr Doktor... how much?"
15302	Trouble with Haase again?
15302	Two? 15302 Want a good, cheap hotel, sir?
15302	Want a guide, sir?
15302	Was it you or your brother,she asked abruptly,"who nearly broke my poor girl''s heart?"
15302	Well, Herr Doktor,he said,"do you want me to start the bidding?
15302	Well, what is it; what is it?
15302	Well, where?
15302	Well, young man, did it work?
15302	Well?
15302	Well?
15302	Well?
15302	What affair do you mean?
15302	What am I to do at the end of that time?
15302	What did they say?
15302	What do you mean?
15302	What do you suggest then?
15302	What have you done with Grundt? 15302 What is Clubfoot going to do about him?"
15302	What is Grundt doing here?
15302	What is Schmalz jabbering about now?
15302	What is this I hear?
15302	What of him?
15302	What time is the shoot to- morrow?
15302	What''s all this rigmarole got to do with Francis, Dicky?
15302	What''s this I hear, Monica?
15302	What? 15302 When was this?"
15302	Where did the Dutchman''s packet of stuff come from?
15302	Where shall we find the two halves?
15302	Where shall you be staying?
15302	Who are you? 15302 Who are you?"
15302	Who is he? 15302 Who is it?
15302	Who is...?
15302	Why did n''t you say that at once?
15302	Why do men always take us women to be fools?
15302	Why has not Grundt come? 15302 Why not?"
15302	Why?
15302	You are going to Berlin?
15302	You come in here from nowhere, you introduce yourself as Meyer; you ask me''Who?'' 15302 You do n''t know me, do you?
15302	You have a light?
15302	You have not got an hotel yet?
15302	You mean the south entrance?
15302	You mean?
15302	You smoke?
15302	You too?
15302	You will be quiet and come in here, do you understand?
15302	You wo n''t catch any Deutschers fooling Mary Prendergast,said the jovial lady in the bed;"but, children, what next?"
15302	You''ve got your pistol? 15302 _ Know_ him,"I repeated,"_ know_ him then... then you think... you have reason to believe he is still alive...?"
15302	_ What, then, of the other two phrases? 15302 ... about his military service, about his papers? 15302 A Frenchman, eh?
15302	A special?
15302	Am I not thoughtful to have prepared this little surprise for you?
15302	And Herbert Arbuthnot?
15302	And Philip Brewster?
15302	And what good did they do me?
15302	And who settled Schulte?
15302	And who settled the other man?
15302	And, above all, was Monica herself at the Castle?
15302	Are you ready?"
15302	Are you unwell?"
15302	As we entered, a petulant voice cried:"Is that you, Monica?
15302	But Francis?
15302	But had I the right to sacrifice Monica?
15302	But what prospect had he of ever returning-- with the frontiers closed and ingress and egress practically barred even to pro- German neutrals?
15302	But why did n''t this English spy make a job of it and kill the scum?
15302	But why up here?
15302	By the way, you''ll have to be registered?
15302	Can I have a word with you?"
15302	Can you arrange it?"
15302	Can you beat it?"
15302	Did he ever long for the sweets of home life?
15302	Did he never envy those who have been medically rejected?
15302	Did you come by train?"
15302	Do you know what happened to the interpreter at the internment camp, who was our go- between, who played us false by cutting the document in half?
15302	Do you know what happened to the man that stole that document?
15302	Do you remember Meinhardt, Franz?
15302	Do you remember him?
15302	Do you suppose we care a fig for all the American ambassadors that ever left the States?
15302	Do you think he''ll recognize me?"
15302	Do you think you can trifle with the might of the German Empire?
15302	Do you think you could get me one?"
15302	Do you understand that?
15302	Does he know German?"
15302	Eichenholz?"
15302	First, what did you do for my brother?"
15302	Four thousand?
15302	Grundt?"
15302	Had I seen the fellow before?
15302	Had I the nerve to avail myself of Semlin''s American passport to get into Germany?
15302	Had it not been for that circumstance, I should scarcely have ventured to intrude upon her widowhood....""Her widowhood?"
15302	Has my sister seen about it yet?"
15302	Have I made myself clear?"
15302	Have you given her your papers?
15302	Have you no idea?
15302	He''s a very conventional man and his principles would never hear of me harbouring a... a...""Spy?"
15302	How can we serve the gentleman now?
15302	How d''ye do?"
15302	How was he living at Düsseldorf?
15302	I interrupted swiftly,"have you any place to hide me?
15302	I know nothing about German, but tell me, is that the hand of an educated German?
15302	I met him outside and brought him right in here, as I know you would want me to, would n''t you, dear?"
15302	I said quickly in German:"What do you want with me?
15302	I said,"and... and took charge of things generally, eh?"
15302	I speak amongst ourselves, is it not so, gentlemen?
15302	I think we should keep away from the Rhine, do n''t you?
15302	If you look you will see plenty of plain- clothes Huns, too....""Guides?"
15302	In that case, why is he not here?"
15302	Is it Francis''handwriting?"
15302	Is that clear?"
15302	It failed?"
15302	It was then that Dr. Grundt decided to send me....""You''ve got it with you?"
15302	Jack Tracy?
15302	Let us go to an hotel together, shall we?"
15302	Meyer?
15302	Meyer?"
15302	Might I offer the Herr Doktor a glass of beer and a sandwich at our officers''casino here?"
15302	Might not in these two phrases be hidden an address at which one might find Francis, or at the worst, hear news of him?
15302	Might not these numerals refer to the number of a street?
15302	No?
15302	Nothing?
15302	Now that I was on leave, if I were fit to travel, would I come to Groningen and see him?
15302	Now will you do one thing more-- the hardest of all?
15302	Now, another question... how many soldiers have you here?"
15302	Now, have you any suggestions?"
15302	Or did der Stelze send him?"
15302	Or what?''
15302	Perhaps what?"
15302	Say, am I to be left alone all the morning?"
15302	Semlin?"
15302	Semlin?"
15302	Should I tell him the truth now?
15302	Supposing, then, that this had happened to Francis( as, indeed, Red Tabs had hinted to me was the case) what course would he adopt?
15302	That cigar is good, is it not?
15302	That he was arrested, that he was going to be shot?
15302	That sounds like a taunt, do n''t you think, Dicky?"
15302	That vast, black edifice, that slender tower at the corner-- did I not know them?
15302	The English shot_ him_ too, on account of what was found in letters that came to him openly through the post?
15302	The coast was clear, if I wanted to escape, but where could I go, without a paper or passport, a hunted man?
15302	The fourth?
15302	The gentleman is young and strong... has he been to the front?
15302	The gentleman''s papers?
15302	The rich men''s sons, perhaps, with clever fathers who know how to get what they want?"
15302	The third?
15302	Then he said curtly to a cringing secretary beside him:"Has he been searched?"
15302	Then he said suavely:"But has the stratagem succeeded, Your Majesty?"
15302	Then you know, I left him....""But, Monica,"I exclaimed,"what are you doing here then?"
15302	Then, to Plessen, he added in a voice from which all mirth had vanished, in accents of gloom:"At this hour, Plessen?
15302	Three?
15302	To whom was I thus bidden, secretly, in the night?
15302	Was he going away?
15302	Was it not thanks to the interest she deigned to take in your safety that I came here?
15302	Was it stand- to so soon?
15302	Was it the thick black hair, the small dark moustache?
15302	Was it the well- chiselled mouth?
15302	Was life irksome there?
15302	We had to separate and he sent me on ahead....""But... but..."--the man was stammering now in his anxiety--"... you succeeded?"
15302	What are his requirements?
15302	What are you doing here?"
15302	What did the man mean by his veiled allusions to"all who interfere in other people''s business?"
15302	What did we manufacture?
15302	What do you mean?
15302	What do you think of that?"
15302	What do you want in Germany?
15302	What do you want me to do?"
15302	What guarantee was there, I asked, that she would not be detained before she reached the frontier?
15302	What if he knew more than he seemed to know?
15302	What is the use of my hiring you to read the papers to me if you ca n''t find news that''s spread all over the place?
15302	What mutual guarantees could we exchange that would give each of us the assurance of fair play?
15302	What the devil has the guard got to do with me?
15302	What the devil''s all this got to do with Francis?
15302	What was I going to do about the body?
15302	What was my firm?
15302	What was your stratagem?"
15302	What would he desire to say?
15302	What''s going to happen to you, young feller my lad, when Madame comes along and finds you have a British passport?
15302	What?
15302	When did he come to the café?
15302	When two people fall out The third party rejoices._ What did it all mean?
15302	Where did you get him from?
15302	Where have you got this letter of ours?"
15302	Where is he to go?"
15302	Where the deuce was it going to take me?
15302	Who contrived the traps that sent them to their doom?
15302	Who had the other half?
15302	Who is Meyer?
15302	Who is it this time?
15302	Who the devil was Stelze?
15302	Who''d have thought of that?
15302	Why has he not come?"
15302	Why not Munich?
15302	Why not"in_ his_ tent"?
15302	Why was I coming to Germany at all?
15302	Why, a British officer in Germany... is n''t it too thrilling?"
15302	Why, look what this country has done in this war?
15302	Will that do?"
15302	Will you?"
15302	Would he stop at the refuse bins behind which I cowered?
15302	Would the clock never strike?
15302	Would the gentlemen take anything before retiring?
15302	Yes, or no?"
15302	You have just come out of hospital, I think?"
15302	You must admit, Herr Doktor, that I have been hardly used-- by yourself as well as by another person?"
15302	You permit me?"
15302	You remember him as well, do you?
15302	You say you are an American?"
15302	You will admit that I showed some perspicacity?"
15302	and''What?''
15302	and''Where?''
15302	he asked patiently,"and those soldiers?...
15302	he cried in a voice that quivered with suppressed passion,"terms?
15302	he said,"''Achilles in his Tent''... that is the device of the hidden part of my business-- you observe the parallel, do you not?''
15302	said Red Tabs, as I rose to go,"would you care to see Clubfoot''s epitaph?
15302	she exclaimed in horror-- and her speech was that of the United States--"what on earth...?"
15302	what have they done to you to make you look like that?"
15302	you did n''t know that either, did you?
15302	you did n''t know that, did you?
10551	''But does it bear his signature?'' 10551 ''How could it, since he never saw the letter?''
10551	''Well?'' 10551 A Turk, are you?
10551	A dervaish? 10551 A martyr, the very mention of whose name means war, or a living power for peace under a temporary cloud?"
10551	Ah? 10551 And if I refuse?"
10551	And so, Jimgrim, do the kites foregather? 10551 And that one?"
10551	And these men? 10551 And this lady?
10551	And you are quite sure that the Emir Feisul has escaped?
10551	And you intend to sit here and wait for them?
10551	Any gas masks among the supplies you ordered?
10551	Any news?
10551	Any one Jew in particular?
10551	Any sign of the train crew?
10551	Are they bound by your honour?
10551	Are you deceived by that?
10551	Are you in on this?
10551	Are you planning to fight the French?
10551	Are you telling me the truth?
10551	Are you there, sahib?
10551	At the front, you say? 10551 At the front?"
10551	But how are you going to do it, now that Ramsden has dismissed you from his service?
10551	But that if you let pride go by the board, and seem to run away, there''ll be a breathing spell? 10551 But to whom will you show it?"
10551	But who are these?
10551	By Allah, then I am in good luck, for that makes me indispensable, does n''t it? 10551 Ca n''t see me, eh?
10551	Can you prove it?
10551	Can you think of any way of doing that?
10551	Consume your own smoke, eh?
10551	D''you want to do it, Mabel?
10551	Damascus, eh? 10551 Did you hear what was said?"
10551	Did you see the devil smirk as he went off with it?
10551	Did you see the man who stabbed you?
10551	Do you agree that two and two make four? 10551 Do you know a woman in Haifa?"
10551	Do you know that man?
10551	Do you mind stepping out and getting that letter from him, Ramsden? 10551 Do you need it badly?"
10551	Do you realize what it means if Feisul goes out and gets scuppered?
10551	Do you think I should be put to that indignity?
10551	Does Feisul speak like that, or write like that? 10551 Dream anything?"
10551	For what?
10551	Have n''t you warned Feisul?
10551	Have you a charm against mustard gas?
10551	Have you folk got the hang of this?
10551	Have you friends in Jerusalem?
10551	He might have dictated it, might n''t he?
10551	Heh? 10551 Hospital''s stuffy, is n''t it?
10551	How about the French?
10551	How about you, Mabel? 10551 How about you, Ramsden?
10551	How can he have paid your fare as far as Damascus? 10551 How d''you mean-- stall''em?"
10551	How do you know that?
10551	How long have you been in the service of Ramsden effendi?
10551	How long will that take?
10551	How much did you hear?
10551	How much do you know?
10551	How shall I commence the letter?
10551	Huh- huh? 10551 I, sahib?
10551	If they''d killed you they''d have stopped the clock, eh?
10551	Is that man not an Arab?
10551	Is that your business?
10551	Learn them?
10551	Mad? 10551 Make money?"
10551	Met Major Grim, eh?
10551	Now are you satisfied?
10551	On whose word?
10551	Operation serious?
10551	Pardon,he called aloud in English,"does the sahib know where I can find a druggist''s open at this hour?
10551	Shall I undress myself?
10551	Shall we cut that too?
10551	Sidi bin Tagim, is n''t it? 10551 So you hope to find a wife in Damascus?"
10551	So you know Damascus?
10551	So you''re afraid to sign that, are you? 10551 Supply Feisul with money?
10551	Suppose I walk the streets all night?
10551	Suppose he wo n''t come?
10551	Suppose we''re captured by the French?
10551	That master of yours-- that Ramsden, who dismissed you so tyrannically just now--"That drunkard? 10551 The Australian who wandered all over Arabia?
10551	The French agent--"What-- Sidi Said? 10551 The lady as well?"
10551	The point is how much will you pay me if I do that?
10551	Then how can you swear by them? 10551 Then why his seal, and his special private notepaper?
10551	Then you wo n''t need to beg board and lodging in Haifa?
10551	To defeat the French? 10551 Untrustful?
10551	Wallah, how not? 10551 Was n''t she in here when those three murderers came to finish the lot of us?
10551	Well enough to expect a bed for the night at a moment''s notice?
10551	Well, if you could prove you have--"What then?
10551	Well, you''re a woman, are n''t you? 10551 Well?
10551	What are you running from? 10551 What authority have you got?"
10551	What can the devils do?
10551	What d''you mean, Jim?
10551	What did I tell you this evening? 10551 What do you intend?"
10551	What do you make of it?
10551	What do you mean? 10551 What do you say, Jim?
10551	What do you want done with him?
10551	What good will that do? 10551 What in hell have the French got to do with it?"
10551	What is your name?
10551	What kind of bunk are you throwing this time?
10551	What shall be done with the memsahib''s hat?
10551	What''s his name, and where does he live?
10551	What''s that?
10551	What''s the tune he plays?
10551	What''s the use of losing tempers?
10551	What''s to prevent their opening it at once?
10551	Where did you learn such accomplishments?
10551	Where''s your proof that the French are jockeying this? 10551 Which is better?"
10551	Who are these?
10551	Who are you?
10551	Who fears such an ox?
10551	Who says I have no authority?
10551	Who''s cast for Feisul?
10551	Why did n''t you arrest him?
10551	Why did you let that fool go?
10551	Why did you say a Jew stabbed you?
10551	Why do n''t he cut loose with forty or fifty thousand men and boot the French into the sea?
10551	Why lost?
10551	Why not regard the whole thing as a joke? 10551 Why not send a provost- marshal''s guard to the French agent, then?"
10551	Why not?
10551	Why should I divide with you?
10551	Why? 10551 Worry?
10551	Would n''t that foil them?
10551	Would you like to send for him now?
10551	Yet you say they have been betrayed-- their plan is known-- yet they left for the front this evening?
10551	You are from the South? 10551 You are here on business?
10551	You have been adroit, but do you think I could depend on your discretion?
10551	You have seen him already, then?
10551	You know what it means, of course?
10551	You mean I''m to act Lawrence again?
10551	You mean you''ve sent that Sikh to get the shirt of Yussuf Dakmar?
10551	You mean your government has seen the thing, and sent you to confront me with it?
10551	You might show him the letter?
10551	You saw, effendi, did n''t you? 10551 You talk Arabic?"
10551	Your intimate friends?
10551	Your name was given to me as that of a man who can be trusted to take necessary action in the interests of... er... you understand?
10551	''Is there not a roof below your window?''
10551	''The huntsman urges on the hounds, but unless he is cleverer than they, who eats the meat?
10551	''What then?''
10551	''Who are ye to clap your fat noses on the scent I found and tell me the how and whither of it?
10551	''Why not come and see me in the morning?
10551	''Yet to whom has the country been given?''
10551	A hakim?"
10551	A holy person?
10551	A scoundrel?''
10551	Am I right, Roger?
10551	Am I right?
10551	American money perhaps?
10551	An American banker by any chance?"
10551	An Amirikani?
10551	And I said to him:"''Sahib,''said I,''am I a badmash?
10551	And I shall meet you at the station in the morning?"
10551	And was he a Jew?"
10551	And who is its ruler?
10551	Any questions?
10551	Anything else you want to know?"
10551	Anything else?"
10551	Are n''t you the staff officer they sent to strafe a regiment of Anzacs for going into action without orders?
10551	Are the Jews not at the bottom of all trouble?
10551	Are we agreed?"
10551	Are you a prince in these parts?"
10551	At what time shall I come for the money in the morning?
10551	Besides, what can possibly happen?
10551	But how comes it that you speak to me in English?
10551	But if you get the letter?"
10551	But if you''ve got all you want, do you know of any better fun than lending a hand while some man you happen to like gets his?
10551	But tell me, what has been done to Daulch, Hattin and Aubek?
10551	But what has been done to the three?"
10551	But what if Feisul wo n''t go?"
10551	But what would you?
10551	But who is there like Feisul who can unite all Arabs under one banner?''
10551	Ca n''t you see that if you lose you''ll be a martyr, and Islam will rise to avenge you?"
10551	Can you imagine a lone, good- looking woman going to Aleppo by that train unless she had a laissez passe from the French?
10551	Charkian?"
10551	Come on; d''you want to bet on it?"
10551	D''you kid yourself that Yussuf Dakmar knows who lives here?"
10551	D''you see those two Arabs in the train?"
10551	D''you see?
10551	Did n''t he give me that letter to keep, and did n''t I find a safe place for it between you and the cushions?
10551	Did n''t they promise the Arabs that Feisul should be King of Syria, Palestine, Mesopotamia, and all that?"
10551	Did you ever hear what they did to Napoleon at Waterloo?
10551	Did you have a good journey?
10551	Did you hear any interesting rumors on the way?"
10551	Did you hear that?
10551	Do they give you bread and water for it?"
10551	Do we go to bury Feisul or to crown him king?"
10551	Do we understand one another?
10551	Do you know who I am?"
10551	Do you recall that time at Wady Hafiz when a local priest denounced you and a Sheik in a yellow kuffiyi told the crowd that he knew you for a prophet?
10551	Do you suppose we''re here for nothing-- at this time?"
10551	Do you understand?
10551	Do you want the prospect of Arab independence to go up in smoke on a gas- swept battlefield?"
10551	Does it begin to be obvious why kings used to employ court jesters?
10551	Easy to kill me, is it?
10551	Eh?
10551	Eh?
10551	Ever heard of Anzacs?
10551	Experienced it, maybe?
10551	Francois, mon brave, here is a letter, eh?
10551	From behind them came the conductor''s voice again, airing his English:"Any more bags inside there, Colonel?"
10551	Get me?"
10551	Get me?"
10551	Get that?
10551	Had n''t one of you better take the letter, though?
10551	Half a mo'', you chaps; that''s my mine at Abu Kem, is n''t it?
10551	Have you a magnifying glass, doc?"
10551	Have you a permit?
10551	Have you any proof he was n''t a deserter?
10551	Have you arrested him?"
10551	He had hardly time to get out of earshot when Grim''s voice broke the silence again:"You there, Ramsden?"
10551	He has money for Feisul, has he?
10551	He runs, eh?
10551	How about Jeremy?
10551	How about toothache?
10551	How about you, Hadad?
10551	How about you, Mabel?"
10551	How can I show either?"
10551	How could you improve on it?
10551	How far would you go to save Feisul from this Waterloo?"
10551	How long have you had this house?
10551	How much will you pay me if I get it for you?"
10551	How much?"
10551	How should I know him?"
10551	How''d you make that out-- regular?
10551	I expect you planned to sell them, eh?
10551	I had a pistol too; why did n''t I use it?
10551	I spin it in the air-- catch it-- d''you hear them?
10551	I--""Was the letter from Feisul?"
10551	If we are both Arabs, why not talk the mother tongue?"
10551	Is Mabel Ticknor going to be the woman?
10551	Is it desired that I should summon him?"
10551	Is n''t that Feisul''s seal?"
10551	Is she your wife?"
10551	Is that agreed?''
10551	Is that clear?"
10551	Is the woman your daughter?"
10551	Is there any other bank that he could go to?"
10551	It seems a pity that a chief clerk to the Administration should n''t have a chance to wash himself, does n''t it?
10551	Let men be told that this is his secret signature, and when they see his seal beside it, will they not believe?
10551	Let''s see now... What would he do in the circumstances?
10551	Let''s see; to whom did you surrender?"
10551	Like the saint''s ass, you are a clever devil, are n''t you?
10551	Me?"
10551	Never mind; not having the weapon you wo n''t need a permit, will you?
10551	No need to certify him mad, is there?"
10551	Noblemen?''
10551	Nothing to do but run with a letter now and then, eh?
10551	Now-- are you both listening?
10551	Now-- how can I get whisky on the train?
10551	Now-- what next?"
10551	Of course, the obvious question is, why did n''t Narayan Singh shoot?
10551	Or are we a forlorn hope?
10551	Plenty to eat, eh, Francois?
10551	Princes?
10551	Ready to go?
10551	Said he was a spy for the French, did n''t I?
10551	Say, did you intend one of us to go and decoy the guard away that time you raised your voice?"
10551	See he gets no whisky, will you?
10551	Shall I interfere?"
10551	Shall I lead''em and lick hell out of the Algies?"
10551	Shall Yussuf Dakmar grow fat, while nine of us starve?
10551	Sick- leave continued of course, but-- how about a little exercise?"
10551	Since when has he turned coward that he should sign his name with a number?"
10551	Since yesterday, is n''t it?
10551	So you think that Allah is cooking up evil, do you?
10551	Suppose I go in Mabel''s place?"
10551	Suppose I keep him here until the doctor sees him?"
10551	Suppose he swears I''m luny?
10551	Suppose you go and see him?
10551	Suppose you show me your authority?"
10551	Suppose you watch for an opportunity to push him off the train?"
10551	That do?
10551	That feels like quite a pretty little weapon; mother o''pearl on the butt?
10551	That right, Grim?"
10551	That right?
10551	The deuce?"
10551	The point is, do you want all your bravery and hard work for the Arab cause to go for nothing?
10551	The question that always exercised him was, wherein does the other fellow''s weakness lie?
10551	Then that letter will reach Feisul tomorrow night; and the French, who speak of you now as of animals, will call you what?
10551	They regard you as a man without authority, who might make trouble and leave other men to face it, eh?"
10551	They wo n''t discover it''s a fake until after leaving Deraa--""Why not?"
10551	Think you could recover health more rapidly outdoors?
10551	Three members of the staff to order sauve- qui- peut unexpectedly, seize Feisul, and deliver him dead or alive?
10551	Was the train attacked?
10551	Well, suppose we put him out of the way first; how would that be?
10551	Well, why not stir up revolution here in Palestine in Feisul''s name?
10551	Were they backed against a wall and shot?
10551	What about it?"
10551	What about me?"
10551	What are you proposing?"
10551	What business?"
10551	What do I do?
10551	What do you propose to do with it, Jimgrim?"
10551	What do you suppose they''ll do to us?"
10551	What do you think of Feisul''s chance?"
10551	What do you want with the letter?"
10551	What do you want?"
10551	What does the life of one fool matter?
10551	What has happened?"
10551	What have you had to drink?"
10551	What is better than that?
10551	What is it that makes us side with the bottom dog regardless of pros and cons?
10551	What is it you are really going to say?"
10551	What is the letter, anyway?
10551	What price the lot of you eating Mabel''s chow tonight at our house?
10551	What then?"
10551	What was in the telegram?
10551	What would you think of a king who left his army in the lurch?"
10551	What''s Narayan Singh?
10551	What''s in it?
10551	What''s the verdict?"
10551	What''s this?
10551	What''s time got to do with it?"
10551	When can I get my discharge?"
10551	When did they leave for the front?"
10551	When did you see him?"
10551	Where do you come from?"
10551	Where does my gold mine come in?"
10551	Where is it?"
10551	Who betrayed them?
10551	Who cleaned you?"
10551	Who is to be its ruler?"
10551	Who owns the land?''
10551	Who stabbed you?"
10551	Who told you that?"
10551	Why did n''t I sign the letter myself, and get all the credit afterward, as any other spy would do?
10551	Why did n''t you arrest both the blackguards and have done with it?"
10551	Why not get the malcontents to murder Jews wholesale, with propaganda blowing full blast to make it look as if Feisul''s hand is directing it all?
10551	Why should the Jews think you sufficiently important to be murdered?"
10551	Why''s he sober when I''m drunk?
10551	Why?
10551	Will they not have Syria?
10551	Will they say nothing?"
10551	Will you do that?"
10551	Will you get it for me?"
10551	Will you get it, that''s the point-- will you get it and bring it to me?"
10551	Will you see this through?"
10551	Will you wait and discuss them with the guard, or go at once?"
10551	Wonder where I learned such good English?
10551	You follow me?
10551	You know English?
10551	You know him?"
10551	You know how some uncatalogued sense informs you in the dark of the movement of the man beside you?
10551	You know what a dose of salts is then?
10551	You know where to take it-- eh?
10551	You mean...?"
10551	You remember the Dreyfus case?
10551	You remember, of course, that line that Shakespeare put into the mouth of Puck?
10551	You understand me?"
10551	You wish to flatter me, do n''t you?
10551	You''spect me''nto bed full o''snakes?
10551	You''ve seen it work?
10551	You?
10551	fall?"
10511	A disguise? 10511 After all, we''ve got a boat and a lovely evening and a cold pheasant and a bottle of champagne-- what more can any one want?"
10511	All right?
10511	All serene?
10511	All these three long weary years that I''ve been rotting in Dartmoor, you''ve been really and truly sorry for me?
10511	And I believe you were just on the point of success when you were arrested?
10511	And after that,I said quietly,"I suppose the doctor thought he might as well stop here and do a little business?"
10511	And are we free now?
10511	And do you mean to tell me that you-- an escaped convict-- were actually aware that you were travelling with the Home Secretary?
10511	And have they found out?
10511	And if I refuse?
10511	And if it is n''t?
10511	And in any case,I continued,"what the devil is he doing messing about with George?
10511	And is it on account of my talents that you have been kind enough to shelter me?
10511	And oh, dear Neil,she added,"you will be careful, wo n''t you?
10511	And then you are to pass the good news on to him?
10511	And unless I am wrong, this new explosive will be immensely more powerful than anything now in use?
10511	And what does that distinguished person want with me?
10511	And what if it is?
10511	And what were you all doing down in that God- forsaken part of the world?
10511	And what will Monsieur drink?
10511	And you believe McMurtrie never meant to keep his word to me?
10511	And you really believe McMurtrie and Savaroff are responsible for their optimism?
10511	Any answer, sir?
10511	Any news?
10511	Are they after you?
10511	Are you feeling any better?
10511	Are you feeling pretty strong this morning?
10511	Are you hurt?
10511	Are you mad, sir?
10511	Are you really?
10511	Are you speaking the truth?
10511	Are you waiting for me-- Mr. James Nicholson?
10511	Been here long?
10511	Beg pardon, sir,he observed,"but ai n''t you a gentleman who makes things?"
10511	Besides,added Tommy,"it would be the deuce of a day, and it''s a long time since any of us had a good day, eh, Joyce?"
10511	Between perjury and selling Government secrets I suppose we have enough evidence to justify his arrest?
10511	Bought them from some one in the Admiralty?
10511	But earlier-- when you were in London?
10511	But if they know about it,I objected,"how is it that McMurtrie and Savaroff are n''t in Siberia?
10511	But in what way?
10511	But suppose I refuse?
10511	But surely,I objected,"he must have guessed you were on my side?"
10511	But what about you?
10511	But what can you do, Joyce?
10511	But what have you arranged to do?
10511	But what made him ask you?
10511	But what the devil''s happened? 10511 But why?"
10511	But why?
10511	But why?
10511	But you do n''t believe his story?
10511	But you have seen him?
10511	By the way,he said,"I suppose you never wore a beard or a moustache before you went to prison?"
10511	By what right am I arrested?
10511	Ca n''t we stop and watch?
10511	Ca n''t you imagine the postmaster''s face when he read the envelope? 10511 Can I smoke?"
10511	Can you get me some-- soon?
10511	Can you give me any idea as to its strength?
10511	Can you make fireworks?
10511	Can you take her out while I have a squint at the damage?
10511	Cut his throat?
10511	Did I?
10511	Did he ask who the boat belonged to, by any chance?
10511	Did he recognize you at once?
10511	Did you murder that man Marks?
10511	Do n''t you remember how it was always getting in your eyes?
10511	Do n''t you remember what you read in the_ Daily Mail_ about the robbery at your offices in Victoria Street?
10511	Do n''t you see, Joyce dear, there are only two possible courses open to me? 10511 Do you know Cunnock Creek?"
10511	Do you know what she charges?
10511	Do you know what the penalties are for helping an escaped convict?
10511	Do you know why we are helping you?
10511	Do you mean now, at once?
10511	Do you mean that it''s safe for me to go out?
10511	Do you mean you have made out the full list of what you want?
10511	Do you remember how Tommy and I used to squabble as to which of us should eventually adopt you?
10511	Do you think you can manage to feed yourself?
10511	Do you want to earn half a sovereign?
10511	Dr. McMurtrie,I said bluntly,"what does all this mean?
10511	For all what?
10511	Good- bye,I said;"we shall meet at Tilbury, I suppose-- if not before?"
10511	Good- morning, sir: what can I get you?
10511	Good- morning,I said;"can I have some coffee and something to eat upstairs?"
10511	Gor blimey, Guv''nor,he ejaculated,"what sorter gime d''you call that?"
10511	Have I?
10511	Have a paper?
10511	Have n''t I told you about Miss Gertie''Uggins?
10511	Have you an appointment, sir?
10511	Have you any idea how you have betrayed yourself? 10511 Have you brought any of the powder with you?"
10511	Have you ever heard of a man called Bruce Latimer?
10511	Have you got anything to eat?
10511	Have you?
10511	He knows who you are now, of course?
10511	How am I to know that you will keep your promise?
10511	How are you getting on with the elopement plan?
10511	How could I get in touch with them?
10511	How deep does one sink in?
10511	How did you know about Marks?
10511	How did you know about my experiments?
10511	How did you manage it?
10511	How do you do?
10511	How do you feel now?
10511	How have you got on?
10511	How in the name of Satan did he get here?
10511	How is the Navy these days?
10511	How long had he been with you, Joyce?
10511	How long have I been asleep?
10511	How long have you been here?
10511	How long will it take you to work it out?
10511	How much do I owe you?
10511	How''s the poor man?
10511	I beg your pardon, sir,he said in a pleasant, lazy voice,"but I wonder if you could tell me who this building belongs to?"
10511	I like your description of us as the firm,she said;"do n''t you, Tommy?
10511	I say, Latimer,he exclaimed,"is this serious history?"
10511	I shall have the pleasure of seeing you too at Tilbury, I suppose?
10511	I suppose you have some reason for making this condition?
10511	I take it, Mr. Lyndon, that you are not particularly anxious to rejoin your friends in Princetown?
10511	I wonder if you could help me out of a slight difficulty about my letters?
10511	I''d love to, Tommy,I said,"but it''s rather asking for trouble, is n''t it?
10511	I''ll pick him up,I said;"but what are we going to do about getting back?
10511	I''m Mrs. Oldbury; and you''d be the gentleman I''m expectin''--Dr. McMurtrie''s gentleman?
10511	Is Mademoiselle at home?
10511	Is Miss Vivien in?
10511	Is Mr. Gow back?
10511	Is he an old man?
10511	Is it a safe place to leave a boat for the night with no one on board?
10511	Is n''t that Mr. Gow coming along by those trees?
10511	Is n''t there a job for me?
10511	Is she young and dark and rather nice to look at?
10511	Is she-- is she very pretty?
10511	Is that all?
10511	Is that true?
10511	Is there any particular news? 10511 Is there anything else you want that you have n''t got?"
10511	Is there enough water?
10511	It would be lovely,she said, with a deep breath;"but dare we risk it?"
10511	It would be rather awkward, would n''t it? 10511 It''s hateful, is n''t it?"
10511	It''s quite true, is n''t it? 10511 Jack?"
10511	Look here, Gertie,I went on,"will you undertake a little job for me if I explain it to you?"
10511	Look here, Gow,I said abruptly,"were you speaking seriously when you suggested that launch ran you down on purpose?"
10511	Look here, Tommy,I went on seriously,"what are we going to do about Joyce?
10511	May I ask why?
10511	May we come in?
10511	Monsieur is hungry?
10511	Mr. Morrison, I believe?
10511	My dear Savaroff,I said coldly,"why on earth should I want to break my agreement with you?
10511	My dear Sonia,I said,"why did n''t you let me know that you were going to be the visitor?"
10511	My dear chap,he said slowly,"do you understand anything about Joyce at all?
10511	Neil,she said;"do you remember that you once called me the most pig- headed infant in Chelsea?"
10511	No,I said,"but will you be good enough to ask whether I can see her?
10511	Oh, my poor Joyce,I said bitterly;"have n''t I brought enough troubles and horrors into your life already?"
10511	Oh, she''s a palmist, is she?
10511	Oh, we''ll get there all right,I returned cheerfully,"What''s the game?"
10511	Perhaps you will be good enough to explain what has happened? 10511 Perhaps, sir, you are unaware who I am?"
10511	Shall I read it now?
10511	Shall we be able to write to you?
10511	Shall we run in here and pick up some moorings? 10511 Sick at being in the same room with me, are you?
10511	Sir George Frinton?
10511	So George sold them to you?
10511	So you''ve been sorry for me, George?
10511	Still, you yourself were quite satisfied with the prospects?
10511	Suppose I take it on, then?
10511	Taikin''''er, I s''pose?
10511	Talkin''o''noos, sir,observed Mr. Gow with sudden interest,"''ave you heard tell about the back o''Canvey Island bein''blown up yesterday mornin''?"
10511	Tell me,she said,"this girl-- Joyce Aylmer-- do you love her?"
10511	Thanks,I said; and then after a moment''s pause I added,"I suppose if I addressed a letter here it would be forwarded?"
10511	That you, Morrison?
10511	That''s all true enough, Tommy,I said;"but what am I to do?
10511	The lidy''s gorn?
10511	Then why did your partner-- Mr. Marwood-- why did he say that you had done it?
10511	Then you were lying when you said you were anxious to help him?
10511	These people-- Dr. McMurtrie and the others-- do you believe their story?
10511	They''d pay a lot of heed to the likes o''me, would n''t they? 10511 This is Gospel truth you''re telling me?"
10511	Throw him in the river?
10511	Tomorrow?
10511	Turn her round?
10511	Very good, sir,he said;"and what do you want me to do?"
10511	Very well,I said;"and I wonder if you could let me have such a thing as a sheet of paper, and a pen and ink?
10511	Well, Mr. Lyndon,he said slowly,"and how are you feeling now?"
10511	Well, Mr. Neil Lyndon,he said,"do you recognize yourself?"
10511	Well, what are your ideas, Joyce?
10511	Well, what have you seen our pals doing?
10511	Well, what is it you want me to do?
10511	Well,I said encouragingly,"how do you feel?"
10511	Well,he added,"and how are the stiffness and the sore throat this morning?"
10511	Well,said the doctor smoothly,"and how is the patient today?"
10511	Well,she said, in her curious, half- sullen way,"are you pleased you are going to London?"
10511	Well?
10511	Well?
10511	Well?
10511	Well?
10511	Well?
10511	What about the X- ray treatment?
10511	What about the tide?
10511	What about your invention?
10511	What am I to do? 10511 What are these particular dark doings that Tommy''s hinting about?"
10511	What are we going to do with him?
10511	What are you going to do? 10511 What are you thinking of giving him?"
10511	What brought you to England?
10511	What could you say?
10511	What did the doctor tell you?
10511	What do you do?
10511	What do you mean?
10511	What do you mean?
10511	What do you say to running down to Sheppey and paying a call on our German pals?
10511	What do you say?
10511	What do you think Sonia will do?
10511	What do you think about it?
10511	What do you think, Neil?
10511	What do you think, Sonia?
10511	What does a man''s appearance matter? 10511 What does it matter?
10511	What does it matter?
10511	What happened after dinner? 10511 What have they done to you, my Neil?
10511	What have they done to you?
10511	What have you got?
10511	What in God''s name can Bruce Latimer have to do with your crowd?
10511	What in God''s name does it matter to you-- an escaped convict?
10511	What is it that you propose-- exactly?
10511	What is it you want me to do? 10511 What makes you think so?"
10511	What on earth have you been doing to them?
10511	What on earth makes you think that?
10511	What part of me are you going to start on?
10511	What shall we do now, Joyce?
10511	What shall we do now, Tommy?
10511	What shall we do?
10511	What sort of a difficulty?
10511	What sort of a gent?
10511	What sort of a lady?
10511	What took you there?
10511	What''s happened?
10511	What''s it got to do with you, darling?
10511	What''s one murder more or less? 10511 What''s the matter with the one you''re wearing?"
10511	What''s the matter?
10511	What''s the matter?
10511	What''s the programme now?
10511	What''s up now, sir? 10511 What''s your job?"
10511	What''s your name?
10511	When are you coming down again?
10511	Where am I going to stay?
10511	Where are the others?
10511	Where are we going to, my pretty maid?
10511	Where are you going to do it?
10511	Where did the_ Daily Mail_ leave off?
10511	Where did you tell the man to stop, Joyce?
10511	Where have you been? 10511 Where should you go to if you did n''t come to me?"
10511	Where the Devil''s he going to get it from?
10511	Where to, guv''nor?
10511	Where to, sir?
10511	Where''s Gow?
10511	Where''s Joyce?
10511	Where''s the faithful Clara?
10511	Who are McMurtrie and Savaroff?
10511	Who are they?
10511	Who is he? 10511 Who is it in the car?"
10511	Who on earth did that?
10511	Who was he?
10511	Who was it?
10511	Who''s this?
10511	Why did George tell those lies about me at the trial?
10511	Why did n''t you tell the police?
10511	Why do n''t you tell the police or the naval people?
10511	Why have they left the place empty in this way?
10511	Why not throw him in the river? 10511 Why should they have helped you, then?"
10511	Why should you think otherwise?
10511	Why?
10511	Will you be over tomorrow, sir?
10511	Wo n''t your boy think there''s something odd in our lunching together like this?
10511	Wotjer taike me for-- a Sunday- school teacher?
10511	Yer mean it? 10511 Yer reely mean it?"
10511	Yer reely think I''ll look orl right in it? 10511 Yer want yer barf?"
10511	Yes,I said;"but what about the first part of the programme?"
10511	Yes?
10511	You ai n''t goin''away from''ere-- not for good?
10511	You ai n''t''ad time to make no fireworks yourself, sir?
10511	You ask this after she did her best to send you back to penal servitude?
10511	You can take the boat back to Tilbury alone if we go ashore here?
10511	You got that?
10511	You have acquainted Sir George with the whole of this morning''s events?
10511	You knew that McMurtrie had killed Marks?
10511	You know what this is about, of course, Sonia?
10511	You realize what all this means, Sonia?
10511	You see them two or three stakes stickin''up in the water?
10511	You think they''re spies?
10511	You''ll have a drink, wo n''t you?
10511	You''re absolutely sure they''re the same pair?
10511	You''re coming back here afterwards?
10511	You''re not joking?
10511	You''re quite prepared to throw over your father and McMurtrie? 10511 You-- you do n''t mean to murder me?"
10511	You?
10511	''"Ere,"she said:"you know that five bob you give me?"
10511	''Am- an''-eggs, saire?"
10511	''Ave you got an appointment?"
10511	After all, if a convicted murderer ca n''t be a little careless about the exact truth, who the devil can?
10511	Am I developing nerves, or have I really been watched and followed since I came to London?"
10511	And George-- how on earth do you come to be mixed up with George?"
10511	And the girl, Joyce?
10511	Are things all right?"
10511	Are you really living next door to Tommy?
10511	As for the money"--he made a little gesture of contempt--"well, do you think it would pay us to cheat you?
10511	But if I did n''t go to Cheyne Walk, what was I to do?
10511	But the clothes and the short hair-- eh?
10511	By the way, does Joyce know?"
10511	CHAPTER XXII THE POLICE TAKE ACTION"What have we done, Neil?"
10511	Ca n''t you see-- can''t you guess the way they have been lying to you?"
10511	Ca n''t you understand that every day and night since you went to prison I''ve loathed and hated myself for ever telling you anything about it?
10511	Can I trust your father and McMurtrie?"
10511	Can it be possible there is no mistake?"
10511	Coming down to''kiss you and be kissed by you,''is she?
10511	Could anything provide him with a more favourable opportunity than the collection of the whole crowd in that remote bungalow at Sheppey?
10511	D''you happen to know anything about this, sir?"
10511	D''you mean her?"
10511	Did they ever find out anything about him?"
10511	Do n''t you think so, Neil?"
10511	Do you believe it?"
10511	Do you dare to deny it, with that letter staring me in the face?
10511	Do you imagine that you have any choice in the matter?"
10511	Do you know what use they mean to make of it?"
10511	Do you know what your invention is worth?
10511	Do you mind telling a lie for me?"
10511	Do you realize that ever since the trial she has had only one idea in her mind-- to get you out of prison?
10511	Do you suppose they care in the least whom they get it from?
10511	Do you think I can get to Sheppey by half- past nine?"
10511	Do you think any woman could help loving a man who had done what you did for her?"
10511	Do you think he guessed who it was that sent the note?"
10511	Do you think there''s any possible chance of the Home Secretary being able to overlook such enormities?"
10511	Does it hurt much?"
10511	Eh, Joyce-- how do you feel?"
10511	Gaultier?"
10511	Gow?"
10511	Had they found the bicycle?"
10511	Had they managed to send you a message into the prison?"
10511	Have you ever read Longfellow?"
10511	Have you got plenty of money?"
10511	Have you had any food today?"
10511	Have you seen her?"
10511	Have you seen your cousin-- the man who lied about you at the trial?
10511	Have you tried it?"
10511	How could I have helped you then even when I got the chance?"
10511	How would you like to keep your freedom and at the same time take up your scientific work again?"
10511	How''s old Delacour?
10511	I asked quickly--"an old man with glasses?"
10511	I asked,"and what the devil''s the meaning of it all?"
10511	I demanded--"why?
10511	I hope Mr. Latimer is not ill?"
10511	I hope that will please Mademoiselle?"
10511	I said slowly;"do you mean--?"
10511	I suppose the bed is made up?"
10511	I suppose you ai n''t bin able to do nothin''about that matter not yet, sir?"
10511	I was in the middle of a spirited article on the German trouble, headed"What Does the Kaiser Mean?"
10511	I''m goin''to buy a''at wiv it-- a''at like''ers: d''yer mind?"
10511	I-- I presume that Mr. Casement and Mr. Latimer will be officially responsible for him?"
10511	If I had not killed Marks, who had?
10511	Is he coming?"
10511	Is it likely she''ll chuck the whole thing up now, just when there''s really a chance of helping you?"
10511	Is it likely we should leave you now?"
10511	Is n''t it silly of me?"
10511	Is that where you''re makin''for?"
10511	It looks harmless enough, does n''t it?"
10511	It sounds like something that goes off with a bang, does n''t it?"
10511	It would only have helped to put him on his guard-- wouldn''t it?"
10511	Lyndon?"
10511	Marwood?"
10511	Morrison?"
10511	Murder?"
10511	Oh, I have n''t told either of you about last night-- have I?"
10511	Oh, it will be great fun-- won''t it, Tommy?"
10511	Oldbury?"
10511	Suppose she were to go to the police?"
10511	Suppose there was still someone about there?
10511	That is right, Mr. Latimer, is it not?"
10511	The gruff voice of the other warder broke out at once, above the shuffling of feet:"What are you stopping for?
10511	The only question was, could I find my way out of the wood, and if I did, how on earth was I to strike the right line over North Hessary?
10511	The only thing is, what am I to do about clothes?"
10511	The question is, how much has that affair got to do with us?
10511	The question was should I accept the invitation pencilled across the card?
10511	The question was, what did he suspect?
10511	The thing is, what are we to do about it?"
10511	Then hitching up the dinghy I added curiously:"What''s up, Tommy?
10511	Then squeezing my hand a little tighter she added:"And my own Neil, you_ will_ be careful, wo n''t you?
10511	Then with a little change in her voice she added:"And you will be careful, wo n''t you, Neil?
10511	Then, digging in my scull to avoid a desolate- looking beacon, I added anxiously:"What about Tommy?
10511	Then, picking up the teapot, she added curiously:"Where''s the powder?
10511	Then, suddenly remembering, I added hastily:"By the way, you know that there are two more of the crowd-- Hoffman and a friend of von Brünig''s?
10511	Then, with a little break in her voice, she added in a whisper:"And you do n''t really want Sonia, do you, Neil?"
10511	There_ is_ a girl with them, I believe?"
10511	Trying to use me to help that precious convict lover of yours-- eh?"
10511	Was his apparent friendliness merely a blind, or did it hide some still deeper purpose, of which at present I knew nothing?
10511	Weston?"
10511	What about the gentle George?"
10511	What are we wasting time for?
10511	What are you doing here?
10511	What boat''s that?"
10511	What d''ye mean by throwing that pore man in the river?"
10511	What do you think this girl-- what''s her name-- Sonia-- means to do?"
10511	What do you think, Savaroff?"
10511	What does it matter if all the fools in England think you killed Marks?
10511	What does it matter?
10511	What have they done to you?
10511	What have you done to yourself?"
10511	What is he?"
10511	What on earth could McMurtrie have had to do with that Jew beast?"
10511	What would you like, my Neil?"
10511	What''s he got to do with it?"
10511	What''s the good of you and I beating about the bush?"
10511	When are you supposed to start work?"
10511	Where are you?
10511	Where on earth did you come across him?"
10511	Where shall I tell the man to go to?"
10511	Who are you, and why are you hiding me from the police?"
10511	Who do you think is going to look after you and do your cooking?"
10511	Who on earth_ was_ Marks?
10511	Why do you call yourself Miss Vivien?
10511	Why should any one have wanted to kill him except me?"
10511	Why should n''t we run down tomorrow in the_ Betty_ and have a squint at this place of yours?
10511	Why were you following George?
10511	Wo n''t you have some tea or anything, Sonia?"
10511	Write and tell McMurtrie that you''ve succeeded?"
10511	Yer reely mean it?"
10511	Yer want some tea?"
10511	You ai n''t drowned''i m,''ave ye, gents?"
10511	You did n''t expect me to be here when she arrived, did you?"
10511	You did n''t mean it, did you?
10511	You do n''t mean to let him know who you are?
10511	You do n''t suppose I was going to spend it?
10511	You have done what you hoped to do?"
10511	You know how the doctor deals with people who betray him-- when he gets the chance?"
10511	You''re absolutely certain it was McMurtrie you saw at Marks''s flat?"
10511	You''re sure he did n''t recognize you?"
10511	You''ve had three years of hell; what''s the good of running any risks that you can avoid?
10511	You''ve met each other before at the hut, have n''t you?"
10511	and who are you to make terms?"
10511	cried von Brünig furiously:"what does all this nonsense mean?
10511	he observed;"is it really you?"
10511	rapped out von Brünig,"what is it?"
33277	''You see I''m your secretary,she said demurely,"and I''m-- I''m paid to be glad, are n''t I?"
33277	A bear? 33277 A dug- out after nearly four years of raids?"
33277	A lot of what?
33277	About normal, then?
33277	About the reward? 33277 About the reward?"
33277	All right, mother dear, I wo n''t; you know my bark is worse than my bite, do n''t you?
33277	Am I included in the invitation?
33277	And are n''t you happy?
33277	And are you glad to know me?
33277	And does he say that to Sir Lyster?
33277	And have n''t you sometimes missed not having a mother?
33277	And have you informed the police?
33277	And how long will it take to construct say a hundred?
33277	And that he is a prisoner?
33277	And the Skipper?
33277	And then?
33277	And we are to see the thing through?
33277	And we''ll have a picnic- hamper, shall we?
33277	And what about a nurse?
33277	And what are we to say?
33277	And what did he usually say?
33277	And what did you say?
33277	And what do you eat?
33277	And what is that?
33277	And what would you do, Sage?
33277	And what''s the result, sir?
33277	And what?
33277	And when may we expect Mr. Dene''s new submarine over?
33277	And yet you still advise this course?
33277	And you came here?
33277	And you?
33277	Any what?
33277	Anything new?
33277	Are you hit?
33277	At first I thought you were working her too hard, Mr. Dene, but,she added hastily, as if in anticipation of protest,"but-- but----""But what?"
33277	Bad time?
33277	Better?
33277	But all that time what happened to the_ Destroyer_?
33277	But did n''t Nero fiddle while Rome burned?
33277	But he is n''t a bear, is he, Dorothy?
33277	But how can we be sure they will not capture the_ Destroyer_?
33277	But how did they manage Jim after he''d got into that taxi?
33277	But how did you manage to do it in the time?
33277	But suppose anyone heard you, dear, what would they think?
33277	But the questions in the House as to why we are offering this reward?
33277	But the_ Destroyer_?
33277	But what are we going to do about our tea?
33277	But what proof----?
33277	But where is he now?
33277	But who said''shucks''?
33277	But why, Dorothy?
33277	But why, mother?
33277	But you do n''t always say a thing just because it''s true, do you?
33277	But, mother, when you were a girl and knew a nice man, did n''t you want him to kiss you?
33277	But,continued Dorothy,"suppose one day I was looking very plain and unattractive, would you tell me of it?"
33277	But,persisted Dorothy,"why do we do it?
33277	But,protested Sir Lyster,"how shall we know what is happening?"
33277	By the way, Thompson, you did n''t happen to drop any finger prints about in Waterloo Place?
33277	Can we go round by Whitehall? 33277 Can you tell me,"he asked slowly,"why the British Empire has not gone to blazes long ago?"
33277	Can you type? 33277 Clever, was n''t it?"
33277	Colonel Walton told you what happened?
33277	Could n''t you wear a red beard and blue glasses and----"What''s that?
33277	Did he propose? 33277 Did you want to see any one?"
33277	Did you?
33277	Do for you?
33277	Do n''t you always sleep?
33277	Do n''t you think, Mrs. West, that God must be pleased when two nice people come together?
33277	Do what?
33277	Do you come from the Ritzton?
33277	Do you imagine that Dene slipped off to the north to trick the Germans?
33277	Do you mind? 33277 Do you think he''ll marry you?"
33277	Do you think it''s drink, Grayne, or only the heat?
33277	Do you think she knew who we were?
33277	Do you want the_ Destroyer_ or do n''t you?
33277	Does he know?
33277	Does that matter, sir?
33277	Does that mean that I had better go?
33277	Does that mean that I''m discharged?
33277	Dorothy dear, are you joking?
33277	Dorothy dear, what do you mean?
33277	Dumb?
33277	Envying you?
33277	Excuse me,said John Dene, lifting his hat,"but is that the Admiralty you''ve just come out of?"
33277	Going, Heyworth?
33277	Got him, Thompson?
33277	Got that little list of mine?
33277	Got what?
33277	Had they got far with the first one?
33277	Has Finlay seen him since?
33277	Has he linked up with Naylor yet?
33277	Has he tried to kiss you yet?
33277	Have I, sir?
33277	Have you an appointment?
33277	Have you tried Scotland Yard, sir?
33277	Have you warned Dene?
33277	He in?
33277	Here, what the hell do you mean by giving that girl only nine dollars a week?
33277	Here, what the hell''s all this about my meals?
33277	Here, where do you come from?
33277	How about John Dene?
33277	How did you get it?
33277	How did you get the copy?
33277	How did you know?
33277	How did you know?
33277	How did you learn this?
33277	How do I do it?
33277	How do you mean, Dorothy?
33277	How do you mean, dear?
33277	How do you plan to proceed?
33277	How do you propose to keep at sea for any length of time without recharging your batteries?
33277	How is the_ Destroyer_ progressing?
33277	How many false calls did you say?
33277	How was his memory bad?
33277	How''s the_ Destroyer_?
33277	How?
33277	How?
33277	I have an absolutely free hand?
33277	I have been wondering about Wessie----"Wessie, who''s she, a cat?
33277	I know I''m a horrid little beast,she cried, turning quickly,"and I say outrageous things, do n''t I?"
33277	I may smoke?
33277	I may, may n''t I?
33277	I see, I see,cried Mr. Llewellyn John;"but how on earth did you ferret all this out?"
33277	I wonder why it is?
33277	I''m so sorry, mother dear; but it slipped out, you know, and really it''s such an awfully convenient word, is n''t it? 33277 If it is n''t the spies,"continued Marjorie,"then what is it?"
33277	If they do for me, I want you to give the command to Blake, then to Quinton, and so on, only to my own boys; is that agreed?
33277	If this is slow, what''s fast?
33277	If what''s all right?
33277	If you did n''t supply lunch yesterday, who the blazes did?
33277	If you kill, where are the plans? 33277 In other words?"
33277	In the meantime what is to be done?
33277	In which direction did he drive?
33277	Incidentally, Sage, where did you get all this from?
33277	Is he going to call this evening?
33277	Is he safe?
33277	Is he, dear?
33277	Is it or is it not a deal?
33277	Is it?
33277	Is n''t it funny how one runs across the same person time after time?
33277	Is n''t what?
33277	Is she ill?
33277	Is that twelve Haymarket?
33277	Is that what you came here to say?
33277	Is there any news?
33277	Is there anything I can do?
33277	Is-- is-- Miss West here?
33277	It is very difficult to give instances; but previously he had always been so pleasant and-- and----"Unconscious of himself, shall we say?
33277	It sounds rather flippant, does n''t it?
33277	J. D."What do you mean, Rojjie?
33277	Jim there?
33277	Jim''s all right,said John Dene,"but where''s Miss West and my keys?"
33277	Knew what?
33277	Know what?
33277	Like it?
33277	Like who?
33277	May I sit down?
33277	May I suggest that under the circumstances we consult Mr. Llewellyn John?
33277	Me or who?
33277	Mother dear, do you think you could faint?
33277	Mother,said Dorothy presently,"what made you love father?"
33277	Mr. Dene knows his own invention and we might enrol his crew in the Navy; what do you think?
33277	Mr. John Dene?
33277	Mr. Van Helder?
33277	Must n''t what?
33277	Naylor?
33277	No?
33277	Not resigning?
33277	Nothing has happened?
33277	Now,said John Dene, turning to the Admiral,"what''s the greatest difficulty you''re up against in submarine warfare?"
33277	Of course he knows?
33277	Of me?
33277	Oh, I''m horrid, are n''t I?
33277	Oh, would you?
33277	Only just discovered it?
33277	Only what?
33277	Only,she continued calmly,"you seem a little-- a little-- may I say jumpy?"
33277	Or----?
33277	Perhaps you''d rather not come?
33277	Please, Mr. Dene, may I be a bridesmaid?
33277	Please, Mr. Dene, what is a dancing lizard?
33277	Rationed?
33277	Ready for the trial trip?
33277	Say, does this bother you any?
33277	Say, what''s all this worth to you?
33277	Says what, Dorothy?
33277	Seen John Dene?
33277	Shall I do?
33277	Shall I go?
33277	Sooner you went?
33277	Sorry for what?
33277	Speeds?
33277	Structural defects wo n''t explain it?
33277	Suppose the Germans were able to sink a ship without even showing their periscopes?
33277	Sure,said John Dene,"and we''ll be getting up to it again, wo n''t we, mother?"
33277	Sure,said John Dene; then turning to Admiral Heyworth,"What would happen if Germany got a submarine that could see and do fancy stunts?"
33277	That he''s being watched? 33277 That phrase,"continued Sage,"was a great asset to one party, why should it not be to another?"
33277	That so?
33277	That you, Inspector?
33277	That you, Smart?
33277	The bear?
33277	The calls have always come through in the same way?
33277	The point is,said Sir Roger,"what is happening at Auchinlech?"
33277	The question is, how long is this to continue?
33277	The ring?
33277	The thing is, where is John Dene?
33277	The what?
33277	Then why the devil should the Hun get the wind up?
33277	Then you know?
33277	Then you refuse to tell me?
33277	They do a lot of that here, do n''t they?
33277	Thinking of what?
33277	Thinner?
33277	This some of your funny work?
33277	This the Admiralty?
33277	Thought of what?
33277	Through with everything?
33277	To Canada?
33277	To know what?
33277	To what?
33277	Typing?
33277	Was ever maid so wooed?
33277	Was the John Dene Report what you wanted, sir?
33277	Was the other girl pretty?
33277	Watch who?
33277	We shall not be overheard, no?
33277	We should be delighted, should n''t we, Dorothy?
33277	We should n''t let you go, should we, mother?
33277	We-- we thought----"And shall I get twenty thousand pounds if I give you up to a policeman?
33277	Well, Grayne, what do you think of our friend, John Dene?
33277	Well, I think I can promise that the matter shall be put right, and we''ll make Blair take her out to lunch by way of apology, shall we?
33277	Well, is it a deal?
33277	Well,he demanded, looking from Colonel Walton to Sage,"what are we to reply?"
33277	What about Deutsches über alles?
33277	What about Deutsches über alles?
33277	What about Finlay?
33277	What am I to do, sir? 33277 What are the official figures for the last six weeks, Heyworth?"
33277	What are you doing to poor Blair?
33277	What are you talking about?
33277	What are your reasons?
33277	What did you mean about the odd trick, dear?
33277	What did you say to him?
33277	What did you say to him?
33277	What did?

33277	What do you think has happened?
33277	What happened?
33277	What have I got to offer? 33277 What have we been doing now?"
33277	What is at the back of your mind, Sage?
33277	What is the detective for if it''s not to solve mysteries?
33277	What odd trick?
33277	What on earth are you talking about?
33277	What on earth do you know about it?
33277	What other things?
33277	What pattern?
33277	What reply are we to make?
33277	What should you do?
33277	What the devil''s up with old Sage and Onions?
33277	What the hell have you done with that girl, and who''s closed my offices?
33277	What then?
33277	What would you suggest doing?
33277	What''s that?
33277	What''s the matter, Tommy?
33277	What''s the use of morals?
33277	What''s through me?
33277	What''s wrong?
33277	What?
33277	When did you first notice this?
33277	When does he go to Streatham?
33277	Where am I to tell him?
33277	Where are you going to stay?
33277	Where are you staying?
33277	Where are you taking us to dinner?
33277	Where is she now?
33277	Where the deuce have you been hiding all this time?
33277	Where will you end, Rojjie?
33277	Where''s Finlay?
33277	Where''s the bear, Wessie?
33277	Where''s the tea?
33277	Where-- how----?
33277	Who is Jim?
33277	Who is he? 33277 Who the devil''s going to issue all these warrants?"
33277	Who was she?
33277	Who''ll stare at you?
33277	Who''s Wessie, anyhow?
33277	Who''s going to guarantee that the War Cabinet does n''t talk in its sleep?
33277	Who''s looking after him?
33277	Who''s shut my offices?
33277	Who?
33277	Whose flat?
33277	Why did n''t you act before?
33277	Why did you come here?
33277	Why did you let him do it?
33277	Why do n''t you take the Skipper into your confidence, Sage?
33277	Why do you smile?
33277	Why is it that we women love men?
33277	Why not have a try yourself?
33277	Why not try the taxi?
33277	Why not?
33277	Why should I be here if I did n''t?
33277	Why should n''t I be well?
33277	Why should n''t we be frank and open about such matters? 33277 Why was my order to the Ritzton cancelled?
33277	Why wo n''t you take it?
33277	Why, mother?
33277	Why?
33277	Why?
33277	Why?
33277	Why?
33277	Why?
33277	Why?
33277	Why?
33277	Will you come this way? 33277 With that Bergen fellow''s?"
33277	Wo n''t you come with us?
33277	Wondering what?
33277	Worth to me?
33277	Would n''t it be funny to call him Jack?
33277	Would n''t what?
33277	Would n''t you like to ring up the Agent- General for Can''da and find out who I am?
33277	Would she?
33277	Would you sooner I went?
33277	Would you-- would you?
33277	Yes, do n''t you remember?
33277	Yes, from that place-- where was it, North?
33277	Yes; but whose orders?
33277	Yes; what do they pay you?
33277	You find London interesting?
33277	You have been comfortable?
33277	You have been seeing the sights?
33277	You know anything about it?
33277	You know anything about submarines?
33277	You like them?
33277	You remember the Winthorpe murder case, Sir Roger?
33277	You remember the initials inside, chief?
33277	You remember the lost code- book?
33277	You see,she added,"he broke my teapot, and he owes me something for that, does n''t he?"
33277	You seriously suggest this publicity?
33277	You should have assumed that two such desirable people as mother and me were dining out every night, should n''t he, mother?
33277	You think it is like?
33277	You think so?
33277	You think?
33277	You what?
33277	You wish to see the First Lord?
33277	You''ll be here until it''s all through?
33277	You''re in love with him, Dorothy, are n''t you?
33277	You''re very kind, Mr. Dene,she said,"but is it-- is it----?"
33277	You''ve got everything?
33277	You''ve wirelessed?
33277	''s conception of the detective then?"
33277	Above all, why had John Dene taken a taxi when he had been warned against it?
33277	Are you going to send for it to Herbert Jenkins Ltd., 3, York Street, St. James''s, London, S.W.1?
33277	But ought I to go at eleven o''clock, Miss Cunliffe?"
33277	But what I want to know is, what is it in a man that attracts a girl?"
33277	But,"he burst out excitedly,"why on earth does Sage want to advertise our anxiety as to Dene''s whereabouts?
33277	By the way, what did happen to John Dene of Toronto?
33277	By the way,"he said, as he reached the door,"what time did this little tea- fight take place?"
33277	CHAPTER III DEPARTMENT Z. I"Mr. Sage there?
33277	CHAPTER IV GINGERING- UP THE ADMIRALTY"Boss in?"
33277	Can I come round with Admiral Heyworth and an-- er-- inventor?
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Dene?"
33277	Did Scotland Yard think that John Dene had disguised himself with a false beard?
33277	Did you know of this?"
33277	Did you know this at the time?"
33277	Do you get me?"
33277	Everybody at the Admiralty says he''ll get a title, and you''ll have to say to the servants,''Is her ladyship at home?''
33277	Had he been drugged?
33277	Have I your permission to proceed?"
33277	Have n''t you seen the papers?"
33277	He had worn himself out, she decided, or was it that he was being drugged?
33277	Her search- lights----""But how have you done it?"
33277	How did you know?"
33277	I suppose we can get tea around here?"
33277	II"Was that the telephone?"
33277	If a man offers you a pedigree- pup for nothing, and you want a pedigree- pup, would n''t you just hold out your hand?"
33277	In future he----"Here, who the hell''s shut my offices, and where''s Miss West?"
33277	Mr. Dene, what''s happened?"
33277	Now confess, mother, are n''t you?"
33277	Now is n''t she?"
33277	Now we shall insist upon your taking us to tea, wo n''t we, mother?"
33277	Now what do you think he''d do?"
33277	Now, is it a deal?"
33277	Now, why is the submarine blind?
33277	Of course I must n''t do that, must I?"
33277	One man wired from St. Andrews that he was tracking a strange man round the golf course, would Scotland Yard telegraph a warrant for his arrest?
33277	She outrages all the dear old Victorian conventions, does n''t she?"
33277	Sir Bridgman lit a cigarette, then after a short silence Sir Lyster said tentatively:"I suppose it is n''t the Americans?"
33277	Tell me, where is it?
33277	That so?"
33277	The notice drawn up by Department Z. ran: MISSING £ 10,000 REWARD Where is JOHN DENE of TORONTO?
33277	Then as an after- thought he added,"to a girl?"
33277	Then with a sudden change of mood she added:"But why should n''t a girl be pleased because she''s got nice legs, mother?"
33277	Was he waiting for her?
33277	Was it relief that he saw?
33277	Was there any danger of the telephone system being interrupted?
33277	We----""Did n''t you want father to kiss you?"
33277	West?"
33277	West?"
33277	What I want to know is how long this will last?"
33277	What do you think I had better do?"
33277	What girl?"
33277	What is he?
33277	What is it that makes them want to hold hands?"
33277	What say you, Grayne?"
33277	What should we have done without you Canadians?"
33277	What use am I to a woman?"
33277	What was John Dene to her that she should miss him?
33277	What was she doing?
33277	What will people think when we offer ten thousand pounds for news of John Dene of Toronto?"
33277	What would be said?"
33277	What would you have done?"
33277	What''s that?
33277	Where do you go for lunch?"
33277	Why do n''t you stop''em?
33277	Why do you think girls wear pretty shoes and stockings, and low cut blouses as thin as a cobweb?"
33277	Why had he been so interested in the taxi that was bearing John Dene away, and why had he tried to signal to other vehicles passing along Pall Mall?
33277	Why had he come to London to drive to desperation an already over- worked department?
33277	Why not promise him something dramatic in a few weeks''time?
33277	Why should I do it?"
33277	Why should I do it?"
33277	Why should n''t we talk about it?
33277	Why the hell ca n''t you decide on a thing at once, when you''ve got everything before you?
33277	Why?"
33277	Will you give me some idea of your business?"
33277	Would they find out at what time he left the hotel?
33277	You get me?"
33277	You get me?"
33277	You see,"she continued slowly, gazing away from her mother,"it''s always difficult to---- What made you love-- care for father?"
33277	You wo n''t forget, mother, will you?"
33277	You''re a stenographer?"
33277	You''ve seen the papers?"
33277	cried Dorothy reproachfully,"how can you be so unkind?
33277	cried John Dene, then he asked suddenly:"What are you?"
33277	did n''t I, then why do you suppose I''ve got my new stockings on?"
33277	exclaimed Sir Lyster in alarm,"what is to be done?"
33277	he cried,"where can I buy a pound of tea?"
33277	repeated Sir Lyster,"Jim who?"
33277	said Mrs. West,"only we''re not in quite the right clothes for the Ritzton, are we?"
33277	say?"
33277	say?"
33277	were n''t they?"
33277	what girl?"
33277	why will you never be serious?"
2417	''My God, Captain Strangwise,''says Matthews, as the trio appeared,''What''s happened?'' 2417 , repeated the Chief, as if talking to himself,"Why do you think that?"
2417	... And you''ll use your influence to make those other fellows with you drop it, will you, Spencer? 2417 7.45, eh?"
2417	About Mackwayte... how long was he dead when they found him? 2417 About his escape from Germany?"
2417	Alive?
2417	All ready, Bellward?
2417	And Madame Nur- el- Din?
2417	And do you think that Mortimer did this murder?
2417	And from there?
2417	And how, may I ask? 2417 And if we have?"
2417	And that is?
2417	And then?
2417	And this gentleman here, Matthews?
2417	And what did she say her mother''s name was?
2417	And what did the Chief say?
2417	And what was Strangwise''s real name?
2417	And what''s your opinion about this disguise of mine?
2417	And where are we going, might I inquire?
2417	And you think I''ll do, Crook, eh?
2417	And you?
2417	Any finger- prints?
2417	Any luck at the agent''s, daddy?
2417	Any news of your hundred thousand pound kit?
2417	Any orders about me?
2417	Anything from Gordon and Duff?
2417	Anything from the Nineveh?
2417	Are n''t we going to Bath?
2417	Are you also of the Prussian Guard, comrade?
2417	Are you lunching anywhere, Okewood?
2417	Are you sure that is all you have to say to me?
2417	Are you, by George?
2417	Arrest''em? 2417 Barney?"
2417	Broken it already?
2417	But I say, sir,objected Mr. Marigold,"the military authorities will hardly stand for that last, will they?"
2417	But are there no clues or finger- prints or anything of that kind here, Marigold?
2417	But are you sure the police have n''t taken it?
2417	But did she leave no note or anything for me?
2417	But how on earth is Nur- el- what''s her name concerned in this murder, Maurice?
2417	But how will we manage it?
2417	But how?
2417	But how?
2417	But if they like you, daddy, if it goes down... what will you give them, daddy?
2417	But is n''t it strange,he went on,"to think of the Star of Poland lying out there on the bed of the Channel?
2417	But is this all you''ve got against Nur- el- Din?
2417	But not the House of Hohenzollern?
2417	But surely if you found evidence of his connection with this gang of spies, it should be easy to get a clue to the rest of the crowd?
2417	But the car?
2417	But the theatre, your professional engagements?
2417	But what about his judgment? 2417 But what is there against her?"
2417	But what''s in the big cupboard, I wonder? 2417 But when shall I see you again?"
2417	But where is this rendezvous of yours, might I ask?
2417	But who the devil are you?
2417	But who''s this?
2417	But why not have put the jewel in a bank or one of the safe deposits? 2417 But why?"
2417	But wo n''t you mix yourself a drink? 2417 But wo n''t you tell me what has happened?"
2417	But you will come to my room, hein?
2417	But, damn it, Marigold,exclaimed the Chief, laughing,"you have n''t told us whose hair it is?"
2417	Can Minna and the girl go to Campden Hill alone?
2417	Clues? 2417 Come, ma petite, you will help me recover my little box, n''est- ce pas?
2417	Dear me, did n''t I, Okewood?
2417	Des,he asked;"what do you make of it?
2417	Did everything go off all right?
2417	Did n''t the Chief tell you?
2417	Did n''t you know, Barling, had n''t you heard, about Captain Strangwise''s escape from a German prisoners of war camp?
2417	Did she see the man?
2417	Did the crowd spot me?
2417	Did you have a good night?
2417	Did you say I was in?
2417	Did you see the newspapers yesterday?
2417	Do I understand that you refuse to serve under me any longer?
2417	Do you know that hat?
2417	Do you know this lady of the artistic temperament, Maurice?
2417	Do you know whom I mean?
2417	Do you mean to say you ca n''t arrest them?
2417	Do you think this play- acting will deceive me? 2417 Do you think you''re strong enough to hear some news?"
2417	Do you wish to see the body, sir?
2417	Escaped, escaped? 2417 From Victoria, I suppose?"
2417	Glad to see you looking so well, Major,he said,"It''s your friend we want...""What?
2417	Go on, Barney,said the detective,"ca n''t you see the gentlemen are waiting?"
2417	Going back to France? 2417 Good Lord''man''where have you been living?"
2417	Has... has she... has the sentence already been carried out?
2417	Have you anything further to say, Desmond?
2417	Have you brought them all?
2417	Have you ever seen her? 2417 Have you heard nothing about this young lady from the Chief?"
2417	He has lived here for some years, I suppose?
2417	How could I have forgotten it?
2417	How do you mean?
2417	How much leave have you got?
2417	How on earth did you know that I was at the Palaceum last night?
2417	Hullo, Maurice,he said,"are you off, too?"
2417	I have told the trewth, sir,he said hoarsely,"and it goes against me, do n''t it?
2417	I hope you will allow me to express my condolences...?
2417	I say, you are n''t going to implicate old Strangwise, too, are you?
2417	I shall be delighted to receive our friends,Desmond replied,"a glass of sherry?"
2417	I suppose she told you a long story of my persecution, eh, Bellward? 2417 I suppose you''ve got something to go on?"
2417	I thought you were seeing Strangwise, at two?
2417	I told you that once before... that night we met at your house... do you remember? 2417 I''m going to utilize my advantage to the best I know how,"retorted Strangwise, snapping the words,"that''s good strategy, is n''t it, Desmond?
2417	If what?
2417	Impossible? 2417 Impossible?"
2417	Is Miss Mackwayte ill?
2417	Is it Miss Mackwayte?
2417	Is n''t that a car?
2417	Is the girl sleeping?
2417	Is this another of your infernal surprise packets?
2417	It is Captain Okewood,said the loafer,"you do n''t remember me, sir?"
2417	Kill Desmond? 2417 Mackwayte?
2417	Mademoiselle was a leetle too clevaire,said the maid with an evil leer,--"she would rob Madame, would she?
2417	Major Okewood?
2417	Man alive,he went on,"how can you talk such nonsense in face of the evidence, with this bloody- minded woman''s victims hardly cold yet?
2417	Matthew''s,said Desmond as he supped,"would it be indiscreet to ask where we are?"
2417	May I ask how many guests I may expect?
2417	Meaning Behrend?
2417	Meaning Nur- el- Din?
2417	Merely this; the cipher is in five figure groups, addressed to a four figure group and signed by a six figure group..."Well?
2417	Monsieur Bellward?
2417	Mrs. Malplaquet had put it very strite, so she''ad, and wot he wanted to know was what Mortimer''ad to siy?
2417	Murder?
2417	My tear Pellward,he cried,"it is a hondred year since I haf see you, not?
2417	No,answered the other;"but it was your disguise which was responsible for the escape of Strangwise--""What?"
2417	Nothing out of the ordinary happened during the night, I suppose?
2417	Nur- el- Din?
2417	Nur- el- Din?
2417	Nur- el- Din?
2417	Of the office?
2417	Oh, dear,said Mortimer from his place on the hearth rug where he was warming his coat tails in front of the fire,"is n''t that unfortunate?
2417	Oh, sir,she exclaimed when she saw him,"was it about the rooms?"
2417	Oh,said Desmond, rather puzzled,"what doctor?"
2417	Okewood,he cried gaily,"what do you say to a little detective work?
2417	Okewood,he whispered but too low for the girl to distinguish the words,"Okewood?
2417	Or will the girl try and break away, do you think?
2417	Our host is silent,said Mrs. Malplaquet,"what does Mr. Bellward think about it?"
2417	Part of my work?
2417	Perhaps you would care to reconsider your decisions?
2417	Perhaps you would like me to leave you?
2417	Pick''em up? 2417 Really,"said Desmond,"that rather complicates things for her, does n''t it?"
2417	Say, are they giving unlimited leave over there now?
2417	Seen Strangwise this morning?
2417	Shall I tell you some more about yourself? 2417 Shall we go upstairs?"
2417	Shall we make a leetle promenade after the dejeuner? 2417 So soon?"
2417	So that''s your Star of Poland, is it?
2417	So you''re Barling, eh?
2417	Spencer,he said abruptly,"what''s worth seeing in London?
2417	Strangwise,he said,"had n''t you better tell us who you are?"
2417	Tell me where he is? 2417 Tell me,"he asked suddenly,"is Strangwise a liar, do you think?"
2417	Tell me,said the girl suddenly,"who was Strangwise?"
2417	That''s calculated to set one''s thoughts running all over the place, is n''t it? 2417 That''s right,"said the man, looking very intently at him,"feel a bit better, eh?
2417	The cellar?
2417	The maid did n''t see Nur- el- Din give you the box?
2417	Then Master Burglar did n''t burgle this room?
2417	Then it was n''t Miss Mackwayte who told you?
2417	Then why did he come up here at all?
2417	Then you are convinced in your own mind, Colonel, that this woman is a spy?
2417	Then you will lunch with me, eh? 2417 Then you''ve made an arrest?"
2417	These folk are dealt with somehow and every now and then one of''em gets shot, just to show that we are n''t asleep, do n''t you know? 2417 They''re murdering those two women down in the cellar,"she cried,"oh, what has happened?
2417	They''ve arrested her?
2417	This man on the stairs,queried the Chief,"did you see him?"
2417	This man who tied you up... you did n''t see him?
2417	This was a daylight raid, d''ye see, gentlemen? 2417 Transports, are n''t they?"
2417	Very few of you have, my friend,she replied,"but you are all under his orders, nest- ce pas?"
2417	Was there anything left in your absence?
2417	Well, Maurice?
2417	Well,he said curtly,"and where is my secretary?"
2417	Well,he said, surveying Desmond,"and how do we find ourselves to- day?
2417	Well,replied Desmond shortly,"what are you going to do about it?"
2417	Well?
2417	What about it?
2417	What are they going to do with Nur- el- Din?
2417	What are you going to do to- night?
2417	What did I say?
2417	What did it mean?
2417	What do you mean? 2417 What do you mean?"
2417	What do you want with me?
2417	What is the Star of Poland?
2417	What is there against her? 2417 What murder?"
2417	What sort of step? 2417 What station was that we started from?"
2417	What time did this attack take place?
2417	What time did you part from the Mackwaytes at the theatre last night?
2417	What will you tell him?
2417	What''s annoying?
2417	What''s the feller been up to?
2417	What, to see Nur- el- Din? 2417 What?"
2417	When we was down Arras way a few months ago the infantry was a- goin''to do a raid, see? 2417 Where are they going to take me, do you know?"
2417	Where are you speaking from?
2417	Where are you taking me?
2417	Where are your eyes, man?
2417	Where did you find it?
2417	Where have I met that woman before?
2417	Where is Miss Mackwayte?
2417	Where is it I Where is the silver box I gave into your charge? 2417 Where''s Minna?"
2417	Who does not know the charming Nur- el- Din?
2417	Who is at the head of it?
2417	Who is it, Martha?
2417	Who is it?
2417	Who is this letter from?
2417	Whose trail?
2417	Why Nur- el- Din?
2417	Why are you here, then?
2417	Why do you say I have stolen the box?
2417	Why do you think it was a large calibre pistol, Major?
2417	Why should you think this box should have been taken? 2417 Why then...?"
2417	Why, not the Seven Kings murder, surely?
2417	Why?
2417	Why?
2417	Will you accept his offer to remain on in the Secret Service?
2417	Will you come at once? 2417 Will you light me up to my room, Martha?"
2417	Will you take the necessary steps?
2417	Wot''ave yer done wiv''the sparklers, eh?
2417	Would you believe it? 2417 Would you tell me something about it?"
2417	Yes, and, of course, Captain Strangwise..."What about him?
2417	You heard what my housekeeper said? 2417 You must let me into this, Spencer,"he said,"what''s old Maurice been up to?
2417	You stand here gossiping with that man loose in the house?
2417	You will stay and talk to me while I change n''est- ce pas? 2417 You''re leaving here to- morrow then?"
2417	You''ve seen her then?
2417	''Why do n''t you go home, my dear?''
2417	13,"he cried,"are you mad?
2417	A conjurer?"
2417	A deep voice cried:"May I ask what you are all doing in my house?"
2417	About our meeting the Mackwaytes last night?"
2417	All said and done, what had he actually told Desmond?
2417	And I should n''t have thought that the man who did it was the sort that carries a gun...""Then you know who did it?"
2417	And alone?"
2417	And had Nur- el- Din discovered their treachery?
2417	And had he sacrificed Barbara Mackwayte to his obstinacy and his credulousness?
2417	And he smiles... Well, rather often, does n''t he?"
2417	And lastly..."He paused, fearing to be rash; then he risked it:"And lastly, Nur- el- Din?"
2417	And say nothing to anybody about..."she pointed to Barbara''s bag where the little package was reposing,"it shall be a secret between us, hein?
2417	And the secret door showed us how they had gone...""But I thought you had a man posted at the back?"
2417	And then he said very deliberately in German:"War niemand da?"
2417	And then it come over me quite sudden- like that burglary and murder had been done in the house and wot would I say if a p''liceman come along?
2417	And vy did n''t I not do it?
2417	And what had he said?
2417	And who was his confederate?
2417	And you shall show me your pretty English country, voulez- vous?
2417	And, Mademoiselle, permit me?
2417	And, above all, when this knotty problem of make- up had been settled, how was he to proceed?
2417	Are there any developments, do you know?"
2417	Arrest''em?
2417	As for the others--""Gone?"
2417	As he did so, he heard the inn door open and Strangwise''s voice cry out:"Who''s that?"
2417	Barbara nodded"And going back to your work with the Chief?"
2417	Bellward seemed surprised for he cried quickly:"What?
2417	Bellward?"
2417	Bellward?"
2417	Bellward?"
2417	But how do you know Strangwise?"
2417	But how goes the enemy, Matthews?"
2417	But how?
2417	But how?
2417	But if they had murdered her, what had they done with the body?
2417	But look here; why not come over the wall and step inside the house with me?
2417	But perhaps, sir, you would like to see me this afternoon?"
2417	But tell me,"she added,"what about Nur- el- Din?
2417	But the end?
2417	But what do all these anxious- looking gentry want?"
2417	But what had become of the trio?
2417	But what''s the use?
2417	But where are you off to?"
2417	But who''s this?"
2417	But wo n''t you come in, sir?"
2417	But you are a German, hein?"
2417	But you can tell our friend all we know about the lady''s antecedents-- what we had from my French colleague the other day, you know?
2417	But, good heavens, man, surely I saw your name in the casualty list... missing, was n''t it?"
2417	By the way, what had Mortimer done with his car?
2417	By the window, was it not?"
2417	Chief...""What if we have?"
2417	Come to give us young''uns some tips?"
2417	Could he leave the meeting for 25 minutes without arousing suspicions?
2417	Could n''t I not haf drop the svag and ron away?
2417	Curious coincidence, is n''t it?"
2417	Curiously Prussian attitude of mind, is n''t it?"
2417	D''you want the''ole ruddy plice abart our ears?"
2417	Desmond, at a loss what to make of this extraordinary individual, answered at random:"The powers?
2417	Did Bellward undertake these trips to fetch news or to transmit it?
2417	Did I whine or snivel about being sent to my death as some of you were doing just now?
2417	Did she come down with you?"
2417	Did this person seem in a hurry?"
2417	Did you see any of her entourage?
2417	Did you see the assault at Verdun?
2417	Do you happen to know her house?"
2417	Do you know his story?"
2417	Do you know what you are saying?"
2417	Do you know where he is, Okewood?"
2417	Do you know who''s with him...?"
2417	Do you know why I intervened to save you?"
2417	Do you know why he really went back to the Dyke Inn?"
2417	Do you know, for instance, where she often spends the week- end?
2417	Do you think I could have my shoes and stockings dried and get some tea?
2417	Do you think I do n''t know the value of the treasure I was fool enough to entrust to your safe keeping?
2417	Do you want to lose your life, the lives of all of us, as well?
2417	Doubtless, you have cards, eh?"
2417	For the last time, Strangwise, will you clear out?"
2417	Got a bit of a crack, what?
2417	Got your props there?
2417	Had Mr. Marigold discovered that the Chief knew a great deal more about this mysterious affair than the detective knew himself?
2417	Had both Marie and Rass been in league with Strangwise against the dancer?
2417	Had he been wrong in thinking Nur- el- Din a victim?
2417	Had n''t she half- captivated him, the would- be spy- catcher, already?
2417	Had the odd man gone off in Mortimer''s car?
2417	Had there been foul play here, too?
2417	Had this frail girl done this unspeakable deed?
2417	Hafen''t I not gif myself op to the policeman?
2417	Has he been cashiered for wearing shoes or what?"
2417	Has she been appearing here long?"
2417	Have n''t you got any guts any of You?
2417	Have you come to interview me?"
2417	Have you got it?"
2417	He grinned and added:"Where''s your kit?"
2417	He had packed the cigarettes in his kit-- his kit which had gone over to France in the hold of the leave boat?
2417	He stopped to skirt a tram, then added suddenly:"Do you know him well, Okewood?"
2417	Her business manager, a fat Italian who calls himself Lazarro, did you notice him?
2417	Here?"
2417	How are you, Spencer?
2417	How are you, my friend?
2417	How did you know, before we ever went to Seven Kings, that Barney did not murder old Mackwayte?
2417	How do you mean, sir?"
2417	How much did this uncanny creature know?
2417	How on earth did the Chief know about his visit to the Palaceum?
2417	How on earth do you come to be in this state?"
2417	How was he, Desmond, to disguise himself to resemble him?
2417	I ca n''t think so... and yet...""But do you believe then, that Nur- el- Din murdered- old Mackwayte?
2417	I can not tell you, for her real name we have not been able to ascertain... parbleu, it is impossible, with the Boches at Warsaw, hein?
2417	I hear a step on the stair... a little, soft step... then ole Mac he open the curtain and cry''Who are you?''
2417	I introduce le Captaine Strangwise and''is friend... what is the name?
2417	I might have guessed, since Miss Mackwayte knew Mortimer--""Miss Mackwayte knows Mortimer?"
2417	I say I haf stolen, but murder?
2417	I see the red flash and I smell the... the powder not?
2417	I sha n''t see you again...""You wo n''t see me again?
2417	I suppose you did n''t get my letter?"
2417	I wonder what he''s up to?"
2417	Is Strangwise that type?"
2417	Is all my sacrifice to have been in vain?"
2417	Is it a go?"
2417	Is it absolutely necessary for me to disappear?"
2417	Is it merely a coincidence that a hair, resembling Nur- el- Din''s, is found adhering to the straps with which Barbara Mackwayte was bound?
2417	Is it the police?"
2417	Is n''t it so?"
2417	Is n''t there a man in the room besides me?
2417	Is our friend to live for ever?"
2417	Is that right?"
2417	It was an awful charge to bring against an orficer, d''you see?
2417	It''s about Strangwise, is n''t it?"
2417	It''s because I admire all this about him that I think perhaps it''s just jealousy on my part when I feel...""What?"
2417	It''s part of your work to look after deserters and absentees and those sort o''folk, is n''t it?"
2417	Just in from France?"
2417	Let him have all the particulars about this Barling case-- you know about that, do n''t you?
2417	Mackwayte?"
2417	Madame Le Bon?
2417	Marcelle, taking off her heavy head- dress, answered quickly:"Who told you that?"
2417	Might n''t they have been planted on her in order to get her arrested to draw the suspicion away from the real criminal, yourself?"
2417	Might not Marie have come to tell her that Barbara Mackwayte was below asking for her?
2417	Mortimer?"
2417	My friend, where are your eyes?"
2417	No trace of the others?
2417	No?
2417	Now do you understand why I did n''t want you to think I was flattering you?
2417	Now will you come with me?"
2417	Oh, it''s you, Gordon?
2417	Oi, oi, oi, how shall you belief vot I tell?"
2417	Or do you?"
2417	Or is he one of these harum- scarum soldier of fortune sort of chaps?"
2417	Our meatless day, eh?"
2417	Promise it, my friend?"
2417	Really?
2417	Rescue''em?"
2417	See, I will wrap it up and seal it, and then you will take it home with you, n''est- ce pas?"
2417	Shall we have him in?
2417	She would play the espionne, hein?
2417	Should he make a dash for it or stay where he was and await developments?
2417	Should he shout?
2417	Should he try and break the window?
2417	Six o''clock suit you?"
2417	So this was Mrs. Malplaquet''s house, was it?
2417	Someone had mentioned Barbara that night in the library but who was it?
2417	Strangwise is a Canadian, is n''t he?"
2417	Strangwise?
2417	Suppose Mortimer, growing suspicious, had made use of Nur- el- Din to lure him to an ambush in this lonely place?
2417	Surely it was risky to have entrusted it to a girl of whom you knew nothing?"
2417	That is not the way of the Prussian Guard...""The Prussian Guard?"
2417	That is your offer, is n''t it?
2417	That''s the count, ai n''t it?
2417	That''s what Hamley and all the military writers teach, is n''t it?
2417	Then a voice, as faint as a voice on a long distance telephone, said:"Well, how are you feeling?"
2417	Then he added:"Just tell Miss Mackwayte I want her as you go out, will you?"
2417	Then he spoke into the telephone:"Marigold?
2417	Then she goes out motoring with...""But why in Heaven''s name are all these people allowed to run loose?"
2417	Then to Harrison, he added:"That''s what we''ve got to discover... hullo, who''s this?"
2417	Then, looking up archly at Desmond, she said:"Am I so distasteful, then, to have in your house?"
2417	They''ll nab her, eh?"
2417	To send her to the gallows or before a firing- squad-- was this to be the end of his mission?
2417	Turning to the Chief he added with a touch of formality:"May Gunner Barling tell his story, sir?"
2417	Vot do I know of London?
2417	Was Mortimer''s the guiding hand of this network of conspiracy?
2417	Was Strangwise staying at"The Dyke Inn"?
2417	Was he supposed to know him?
2417	Was he too late?
2417	Was he, after all, nothing but a credulous fool who had been hoodwinked by a pretty woman''s play- acting?
2417	Was it heavy or light or what?
2417	Was it possible, Desmond wondered, that he could believe that Desmond had scrambled back over the wall?
2417	Was the uninvited guest the deus ex machina who was to help him, Desmond, out of his present perilous fix?
2417	Was there anybody else in the room when she gave you the package?"
2417	Was this a callous murderess, a hired spy, who, with her great eyes brimming over with tears, entreated his protection so simply, so appealingly?
2417	Was this to be the end of the pleasant trip into the country on which she had embarked so readily only a few hours before?
2417	We had to employ a rather drastic form of the third degree for her, did n''t we, Strangwise?"
2417	We will''ave a talk, nest- ce pas?"
2417	Well, Strangwise, what are we waiting for?
2417	Well, what do you want from me in exchange?"
2417	Were you at Metz with his Imperial Highness?
2417	Were you present at the capture of the Fort of Douaumont?"
2417	What a shocking affair this is about old Mackwayte, is n''t it?
2417	What about her?"
2417	What about his uniform strewn about the compartment where he had changed?
2417	What am I going back to France for?"
2417	What am I here for?
2417	What becomes of her?
2417	What chance could he, unarmed as he was, have against them?
2417	What did Bellward look like?
2417	What do you say, Matthews?"
2417	What does the doctor say?"
2417	What had happened to Major Okewood?
2417	What have you got to do with criminal cases, anyway?
2417	What if Nur- el- Din had succeeded in making good her escape to the Continent?
2417	What if this were a trap?
2417	What led you to suppose she was?"
2417	What on earth could induce her to adopt this tone of condescension towards him?
2417	What on earth did she want with him?
2417	What part am I to play in this business anyway?"
2417	What sent you away in such a hurry this afternoon?
2417	What the devil did the Chief want with him anyhow?
2417	What the devil do you mean by it?
2417	What then had become of her?
2417	What value has a trifling object like that?
2417	What was the use of struggling further?
2417	What''s amiss?
2417	What''s that?
2417	What''s the betting in Fleet Street on the war lasting another five years?
2417	When she had finished, the Chief said, addressing Lambelet:"What do you make of it, Colonel?"
2417	When will you come and meet him at my house?"
2417	When?"
2417	Where Is your theatre?
2417	Where did lie live?
2417	Where did she say she went to when she escaped to Brussels?"
2417	Where is he?
2417	Where is he?
2417	Where the deuce is my housekeeper?
2417	Where, then, was he?
2417	Which is it?"
2417	Who are you?"
2417	Who did it, d''you think, sir?"
2417	Who is hunting you?
2417	Who is on the bill with you?"
2417	Who is this Mortimer that he should seek to do you harm?"
2417	Who was it, then?
2417	Whom did he go to meet?
2417	Whose hair do you think that is?"
2417	Why did n''t you?"
2417	Why did you have me followed last night?
2417	Why did you send for me?
2417	Why had n''t he asked the Chief all these questions?
2417	Why should Francis thus lay down the law to him about Nur- el- Din?
2417	Why should Matthews think that Miss Mackwayte was down here?
2417	Why should he not telephone in Mortimer''s presence?
2417	Why should he show his hand?
2417	Why the devil had n''t he brought a revolver with him?
2417	Why, who do you think I ran into at Harris''this morning?
2417	Will you smoke?"
2417	Will you take this little box and keep it safely for me until... until... the war is over... until I ask you for it?"
2417	With Desmond Okewood discretion was second nature, and therefore he answered with feigned surprise:"Your evidence about what?
2417	Wo n''t you go down and see?"
2417	Would it draw her?
2417	Would that chance come again?
2417	Would you call him a well- balanced fellow?
2417	Would you mind putting them on?
2417	Would you ring and ask the maid to telephone for a taxi?"
2417	Yet how could he get away unobserved?
2417	You are the pattern of prudence, are you not?"
2417	You have only to ask this Miss-- what was the name?
2417	You know the way the nails are set in the issue boots?"
2417	You know where she''s staying?
2417	You serve the German Empire, do you not?"
2417	You understand me, hein?
2417	You understand, Bellward?"
2417	You understand?
2417	You understand?
2417	You understand?"
2417	You understand?"
2417	You were given the job of breaking up this organization, were n''t you?"
2417	You will come and see me, nest- ce pas?
2417	You''re going to give up the Star of Poland, are n''t you?"
2417	You''ve got her, eh?
2417	You, Bellward, or you, Max, or you, No.13?
2417	You, if any one, should be better able to say what has become of it...""Quoi?"
2417	and in so romantic a fashion?
2417	exclaimed Nur- el- Din in genuine surprise,"comment?"
2417	he asked quietly,"and why do you speak German in my house?"
2417	he cried,"for Gawd''s sake, put it away, carn''t yer?
2417	he exclaimed, his eyes on the figure crouching in the corner,"you do n''t mean to say you''ve got her?
2417	if he should find out what I have done... you will not give me up to this man?"
2417	put in Francis,"are n''t you forgetting that blue envelope we took off her just now?"
2417	repeated Mr. Mackwayte''"what is it, Fletcher?
2417	retorted Desmond,"and what of it?
2417	said Desmond, with a shade of disappointment in his voice,"will she be back for tea?"
2417	said Mortimer,"who was that, I wonder?
2417	said the Chief in disgust,"and, look here, ca n''t you give him a drink?
2417	said the other man,"but wo n''t you introduce me first?"
2417	said the young man and touched the other on the shoulder,"is n''t it Desmond Okewood?
2417	she cried,"you are''ere to sell it back to me, hein, or to get your blood money from your accomplice?
2417	she went on as though he had not spoken,"how could I have forgotten it?
2417	shouted Mortimer,"what the devil do you mean by that?"
2417	the Prince Imperial?"
2417	the man laughed,"you understand nothing of what we are saying, do you?"
2417	what was that?"
2417	you know that gentleman, mon cher?"
38131	''Spencerian Peter,''eh?
38131	A figure- four trap, eh?
38131	A rev''nue agent?
38131	About two weeks before Gerard did?
38131	Across the table from you? 38131 All well and good, Chief,"he commented,"but how would the army help you any?
38131	Allison or the Norcross girl?
38131	Alone?
38131	An accident?
38131	And I''m the one who''s got to handle it?
38131	And Miss Lang?
38131	And keep him under constant surveillance? 38131 And she pays you for your time in between?"
38131	And the seal was intact when you came in yesterday afternoon?
38131	And what time did Mrs. Prentice leave?
38131	And who got the credit for solving the puzzle?
38131	And yet,said Preston,"I understand that in spite of his precautions he was killed last night?"
38131	And you''ve told me all the truth-- every bit of it?
38131	Anita?
38131	Any chance of recovering the body?
38131	Any comment about the package?
38131	Any mail?
38131	Any phone messages?
38131	Any women in sight?
38131	Anyone I know?
38131	Anyone present that you suspect of forgery or beating his wife?
38131	Anything else beside watching him?
38131	Anything serious?
38131	Apart from his wanting to be alone, then, he was pretty close to being human?
38131	Are these all the letters that have been received?
38131	Are you certain? 38131 Arrest for what?"
38131	Ask him,insisted the chief of police,"how he killed Montgomery?"
38131	At midnight? 38131 At nine o''clock?"
38131	Bags? 38131 Before Mrs. Vaughan came to town?"
38131	Bolshevist?
38131	But I thought his body was found near the door?
38131	But I thought--"That he desired your life? 38131 But Rita,"Graham protested,"you do n''t mean to say that you''re going to put yourself entirely in this man''s power?"
38131	But are n''t the detective stories of real life interesting and oftentimes exciting?
38131	But how do you know it was n''t a bullet of the same caliber, fired from outside the window?
38131	But how in the name of Heaven did you get the answer so quickly?
38131	But how''d you happen to arrive here at the right moment?
38131	But no clue as to the location of the body of the beast?
38131	But the message Callahan sent?
38131	But the trap-- the milk? 38131 But what I''d like to know,"he asked, as they strolled back toward the main ballroom,"is how you engineered the affair?"
38131	But what about your luncheon engagement?
38131	But what of them? 38131 But what was it you feared?"
38131	But what,grumbled Walters,"has that to do with the Black Tom explosion?"
38131	But who was the man?
38131	But who,I persisted, as Quinn stopped,"was Jack Stewart and what was the nature of the affair upon which he stumbled in Mexico City?"
38131	But,I inquired, as he paused,"what became of Dawson and Stewart?"
38131	But,as one army officer phrased it,"what''s the use of a convoy if they know just where you are?
38131	By the way, Boyd, have you or any of your men been in the Service more than four years?
38131	By the way,added the operative,"might I see it?"
38131	Ca n''t I see something more of you while we are in New York? 38131 Ca n''t you guess?
38131	Can I?
38131	Can you get to your office in ten minutes?
38131	Can you look me straight in the eyes and say that they have n''t paid you for being blind? 38131 Can you tell me now what it was you started to say about Conner''s?"
38131	Care to outline it?
38131	Conner''s? 38131 Couple that with the fact that the box was empty when you found it and I think we will have--""What?"
38131	Dad''s place?
38131	Derwent and Mahoney?
38131	Did Boyd or any of the other department operatives ask to see the plans of the post office?
38131	Did Weimar ever come to see you?
38131	Did he talk with a German accent?
38131	Did more than one person write the letters?
38131	Did n''t I tell you that Al was married? 38131 Did n''t he say''sheep- stinger''?"
38131	Did n''t think I''d see through your scheme to get a position here and your infernal cleverness with the books and the accounts? 38131 Did n''t wait long for another assignment, did he?"
38131	Did n''t you know I would?
38131	Did n''t you mention a post- office case in which a wad of gum played a prominent role?
38131	Did she meet anyone?
38131	Did the men have any bags with them?
38131	Did you catch the name of the man to whom your friends were alluding?
38131	Did you ever hear of the place they called Conner''s, Chief?
38131	Did you know anything about the poison- pen letters in Madison?
38131	Did you pick up any jewels in the Catskills?
38131	Did you see?
38131	Do n''t look like the writing of the same person, do they?
38131	Do n''t you know Jimmy Callahan? 38131 Do you admit that you deliberately brought seven thousand five hundred dollars of counterfeit money here and tried to pass it?"
38131	Do you believe that moonshining is right?
38131	Do you happen to have a copy of yesterday''s_ News_ handy?
38131	Do you know how long it was between the time that she entered the building and the time she left?
38131	Do you know where Rockwell is now?
38131	Do you mean to say it worked?
38131	Do you mean to say,asked one of the men at the table,"that you can tell that a man is a criminal simply by looking at him?"
38131	Do you recall any record of a check for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars upon the State National drawn and cashed this morning?
38131	Do you remember the disappearance of the plans of the battleship_ Pennsylvania_?
38131	Do you see that little square marked with a white star and the letter''L''?
38131	Does n''t the speedometer give you the distance?
38131	Does the Filipino know anything about his master''s past?
38131	Does this Austrian, this here Buch feller ye''re lookin''for, like music? 38131 Else how would they know when to lay off?
38131	First time you ever saw this, eh?
38131	From what ports are transports sailing within the next couple of weeks?
38131	Go down to the refrigerator and find out, will you? 38131 Going to take anybody with you?"
38131	Got that?
38131	Had he bled to death?
38131	Has Miss James been able to discover anything of the lady''s past history?
38131	Has he any relatives?
38131	Has one of the diamonds a heart- shaped flaw in it?
38131	Has the combination been changed recently?
38131	Have you a record of the home address of the people employed in the Mint?
38131	Have you discovered anything?
38131	Have you heard about the murder of Montgomery Marshall?
38131	Have you the letter you received?
38131	Have you?
38131	He''s going to show you what is in the double- locked room?
38131	Here, would you like to try it?
38131	How about a poisoned bullet, fired through the opening in the window?
38131	How about bribing one of the employees to leave?
38131	How about overhearing his directions to the men he meets in the open?
38131	How about the Tysons and the Osgoods and the other people who brought these letters in-- didn''t they receive subsequent demands for money?
38131	How about the Ypiranga case?
38131	How about the maid?
38131	How did this man work it right under our eyes?
38131	How did you know it was lost?
38131	How did you know it?
38131	How do you know he has n''t it already?
38131	How do you know? 38131 How far am I allowed to go?"
38131	How is it, then, that every story you''ve told dealt with the success of a government agent-- never with his failure?
38131	How long has this been going on?
38131	How long was the taxi there?
38131	How many men know the combination to the vault door?
38131	How many?
38131	How much do you know about the case?
38131	How much gold did you say was missing?
38131	How much time?
38131	How''d you get away?
38131	How''d you know where to find it?
38131	How?
38131	How?
38131	Huh? 38131 Huh?"
38131	I will,promised Marks,"but who are you?
38131	I''m returning to Washington on the Congressional, but I''ll be sure to see you at the de Maurys'', wo n''t I? 38131 If that''s the case,"cut in another,"why do n''t you lock''em all up?"
38131	In his hand?
38131	In that case,muttered the chief at the other end of the wire,"why in Heaven''s name did n''t he get them when they came in?"
38131	In the building? 38131 In the scale house?"
38131	Is Mr. MacPherson, the purser of the_ Atlantic_, there?
38131	Is n''t Petersen behaving himself?
38131	Is n''t it possible,he suggested,"to plant your men close enough to Weimar to find out, for example, what he talks about over the phone?"
38131	Is that the name?
38131	Is that the way it always stays?
38131	Is that the way they are usually arranged?
38131	Is this Mr. Preston of the Postal Inspection Service?
38131	Is this the way the door of the grille ordinarily hangs?
38131	It is rather pretty, is n''t it? 38131 It would take a better man than I am to decipher this,"and he read off:"I i i t f b b t t x o....""Code?"
38131	Just want to ask what you know about Mrs. Mahlon Prentice?
38131	Light?
38131	Look into it?
38131	Madelaine,he inquired,"what do you know of a certain Mrs. Lelia Armitage?"
38131	Madison? 38131 Meaning what?"
38131	Mind the what?
38131	Money? 38131 Morgantown?"
38131	Mr. Preston? 38131 Murder?"
38131	Murphy,said the Green- and- White manager,"where was your cab last night?"
38131	Music?
38131	My business?
38131	New York? 38131 No chance of a slip- up in your information, is there, Chief?"
38131	No chance of her being mixed up in the affair?
38131	No doubt that your man heard the splash when Holden went overboard last night?
38131	No? 38131 No?"
38131	Not directly-- but what other purpose could a person have than to extract money? 38131 Not smoking?"
38131	Not the slightest indication of where Gerard went?
38131	Nothing missing?
38131	Now that we''ve got her,inquired Madelaine James,"what''ll we do with her?"
38131	Of course you''re willing to state where they came from?
38131	Oh, it was a Green- and- White, eh?
38131	On the Congressional Limited, eh?
38131	Plant it?
38131	Rather long for her to make her way to the office of her husband, find he was n''t there, and come right back, was n''t it?
38131	Recognise them?
38131	Report? 38131 Rita, I can''t--"Graham started to argue, but the girl cut in with,"You ca n''t stop me?
38131	Same rules as on the Coast, eh?
38131	Seem to be familiar with anyone on board?
38131	Seen a ghost or something?
38131	Shall we go after it from this end, Chief?
38131	Sit down and have something? 38131 So that was the trick, eh?"
38131	Some more of your highfalutin''detective work, eh?
38131	Somebody who ought n''t to be here?
38131	Something stirring?
38131	Sounded like a ghost, did n''t it?
38131	Sprague?
38131	Sprague?
38131	Still believe von Ewald is a myth?
38131	Story in what?
38131	Strange, was n''t it, how that pair stumbled across one of the first tentacles of the World War in front of a cafà © in Mexico City? 38131 Stranger,"he inquired,"what might yo''name be?"
38131	Sure you have n''t slipped up anywhere and given them a suspicion as to your real work?
38131	Thanks,said the girl,"but what next?"
38131	That being the case, Chief, why take any chances right now? 38131 That was an interesting theory of yours,"commented one of the men,"but was n''t it only a theory?
38131	That''s where the eight hundred and fifty dollars came from?
38131	The Senate Office Building?
38131	The Thurene case? 38131 The blue print?"
38131	The fifty thousand dollars? 38131 The girl?
38131	The girl?
38131	The manager''s name--But then she halted abruptly, picked up a plug, and said,"What number, please?"
38131	The price?
38131	The what?
38131	The which?
38131	The----?
38131	Then how are you to account for the discrepancies between the bills of lading and the final receipts?
38131	Then this,cut in Whitney, unable to keep the excitement out of his voice,"is where he stopped to speak to the Germans?"
38131	Then you know where it is?
38131	Then you mean that the bookkeeper is responsible for falsifying the accounts?
38131	Then you think that it may be a clue, after all?
38131	Then,cut in Callahan,"if the Germans wanted to make a ten- strike they''d lay for that boat?"
38131	There was n''t the slightest clue left after the Black Tom affair?
38131	There''s one that clears Norfolk at daylight on Monday morning with twelve thousand men aboard...."Norfolk?
38131	They?
38131	Thought I was easy, did n''t you?
38131	Thought what?
38131	Trap it? 38131 Trunks?"
38131	Tuesday?
38131	Um, yes,muttered Maxwell,"but has the young lady seen anything of this chap lately?"
38131	Verne did n''t write detective stories, did he?
38131	Wah Lee? 38131 Want me for anything?"
38131	Want to go up with me and investigate the secret chamber?
38131	Was he married?
38131	Was it of such a nature that it could have been easily copied?
38131	Was there a chimney or any other possible entrance to the room?
38131	Was this procedure followed with respect to all the other employees in the building?
38131	Was this the only copy in existence?
38131	Well, now that I''ve told you, what d''you think?
38131	Well, what happened?
38131	Well, what''s the idea of trailing him, then?
38131	Well,I inquired,"what was she?"
38131	Well,snapped Preston,"what did he see?"
38131	Were the papers right in reporting that you picked some fragments of a black bag not far from the scene of the explosion?
38131	Were you to send these messages only on Saturday night?
38131	Whar you come from?
38131	What about Tino, the servant?
38131	What about the men who''ve been working on the case up to this time?
38131	What are you talking about?
38131	What became of her?
38131	What boats are due in the next three days?
38131	What brings you here? 38131 What business is it of yours?
38131	What can I do for you?
38131	What did she buy?
38131	What did they look like?
38131	What did you say her name was?
38131	What do you expect to catch?
38131	What do you know about Cheney?
38131	What do you know about that?
38131	What do you make of that?
38131	What do you mean,''all''? 38131 What do you mean-- this case?"
38131	What do you mean? 38131 What do you mean?"
38131	What do you see?
38131	What does he do at other times?
38131	What does the tape say?
38131	What does this mean?
38131	What evidence have you that this invasion is planned?
38131	What happened to Vera Norton?
38131	What happened to them? 38131 What in Heaven''s name are you going to do there?"
38131	What is this large room next to it?
38131	What kind of bags were they?
38131	What letter?
38131	What made you take up counterfeiting? 38131 What th''----?"
38131	What time was the dinner?
38131	What was that?
38131	What was the date they were sold?
38131	What was the size of the master key, as you call it?
38131	What''s all this about?
38131	What''s coming off Tuesday?
38131	What''s missing?
38131	What''s on it?
38131	What''s that?
38131	What''s that?
38131	What''s the idea, Chief?
38131	What''s the idea, anyhow?
38131	What''s the idea? 38131 What''s the idea?
38131	What''s the idea?
38131	What''s the matter?
38131	What''s the matter?
38131	What''s the matter?
38131	What''s the matter?
38131	What''s the significance of that white mouse on the mantelpiece?
38131	What''s the trouble now?
38131	What''s the trouble?
38131	What''s this doing here?
38131	What''s this?
38131	What-- what do you want me to do?
38131	What? 38131 What?"
38131	What?
38131	What?
38131	What?
38131	What?
38131	What?
38131	When did Miss Vaughan leave?
38131	When did you discover the disappearance of the code secret?
38131	When was that?
38131	Where are the gold bars?
38131	Where did you find it?
38131	Where did you get that eight hundred and fifty dollars?
38131	Where is Buch now?
38131	Where is she now?
38131	Where was it?
38131	Where you going?
38131	Where''d she come from?
38131	Where''s Felix?
38131	Where''s Marks located now?
38131	Where''s that?
38131	Where''s the biggest ship sailing from?
38131	Where''s the paper?
38131	Where-- how-- what in the world made you think that?
38131	Which case was that?
38131	Which is the reason that you want me to look into it, eh?
38131	Which means that you do n''t care to handle the case?
38131	Which one was that?
38131	While you were also drawing money from me, eh?
38131	Who are the men who appear to be implicated?
38131	Who are you? 38131 Who do you mean?"
38131	Who has charge of our cab bearing license number four, three, three, five, six, eight?... 38131 Who said this was a gang?"
38131	Who told you about that?
38131	Who was here at the time?
38131	Who,he inquired of that individual,"has charge of the operation of that phonograph sign on the roof?"
38131	Who-- is-- Sprague?
38131	Whom do you suspect of manipulating the funds?
38131	Why all the mystery?
38131	Why all the questions? 38131 Why all the stage setting?"
38131	Why do you say blackmailer? 38131 Why is it,"he inquired, testily,"that some fools never learn anything?"
38131	Why not a theater party this evening?
38131	Why not let''s watch them from the roof here? 38131 Why that momentous decision?"
38131	Why? 38131 Wife of the Third Assistant Secretary of State?"
38131	Will you produce it-- or shall I?
38131	With what result?
38131	Would n''t it be better, sir, if we hung around outside th''store an''let Katy give us the high sign when he come in? 38131 Would n''t like to have a piece of the Kaiser''s mustache or anything of that kind, would you, Chief?"
38131	Would you think about ethics if some one had murdered two of the men you work next to in the office? 38131 Yes, but what is it?"
38131	Yes, what is it?
38131	Yes?
38131	Yet, you say her handwriting was similar to that which appears on these letters?
38131	You are certain that she was there all evening-- that she did n''t slip out for half an hour or so?
38131	You are certain that the cipher was there last evening?
38131	You are familiar with the Carruthers Code?
38131	You mean my statement that you can tell by the shape of a man''s head and hands whether he has a predisposition to crime?
38131	You mean that you think he''s implicated?
38131	You mean you''d like to marry me?
38131	You mean--"That she was a crook? 38131 You remember those scratches I called your attention to-- the ones on the side of the grille bars?
38131	You want it intercepted?
38131	You want to draw their fire, eh?
38131	You''d hardly expect me to say''Yes,''would you? 38131 You''re not going to write the whole thing on the board?"
38131	***** Remember Dr. Heinrich Albert?
38131	*****"All?"
38131	*****"And so they were married and lived happily ever after?"
38131	*****"And was that all Marks ever heard from her?"
38131	*****"But the plans?"
38131	*****"Do you know what the whole message was?"
38131	About five o''clock this afternoon?
38131	Am I right?"
38131	And did Carr succeed in landing the men higher up?"
38131	And who are you?"
38131	And-- Do you know what books are kept on Shelf Forty- five?"
38131	And-- er-- what was the number of the room she had coming over?...
38131	Any clue in the postmarks?"
38131	Any more stuff turn up?"
38131	Any reason to suspect anyone?"
38131	Anything criminal in that?"
38131	Are you going to stop with friends?"
38131	Are you on?"
38131	Besides, did n''t the two trunks of goods arrive?"
38131	Besides, what about the girl?"
38131	Besides, what we''ve got to find out first is how Montgomery met his death?"
38131	But Edna and Grace were n''t on your list, were they?"
38131	But I''d guess somewhere about five or ten minutes?"
38131	But how could that be accomplished when he did not even know where he was or anything about the house?
38131	But how in the name of Heaven had they gotten their information?
38131	But if it is in the mysterious black bag.... Is the doctor in town now?"
38131	But she was too sleepy to give much thought to it, and, besides, what if he had?...
38131	But what else would you expect from the man who solved that submarine tangle in Norfolk?"
38131	But what had Holden been doing at the clairvoyant''s?
38131	But what on earth would two men want to take a taxi from New York all the way to Trenton for?
38131	But what were they to do about it?
38131	But what''s the idea?
38131	But where?
38131	But which?
38131	But,"and his face broke into a smile,"since they did find me, what''s the trouble?"
38131	By the way, do you know of any place in town known as Conner''s?"
38131	By the way, have you noticed those scratches on the bars of the grille, about four feet from the floor?"
38131	By the way, what do you know about the dead man?"
38131	By the way, when do you plan to make your next inspection?"
38131	Ca n''t I spend my own money in my own way without being trailed and hounded all over the city?"
38131	Can you get it?"
38131	Can you make it?"
38131	Can you tell us anything about him?"
38131	Come to think of it, Verne was n''t an American, was he?
38131	Could I do less than to help you?"
38131	Could he capture him without being injured?
38131	Could it be that Felix was one of the men whom he had surprised the night before, the one he had fired at and hit?
38131	D''you get me?"
38131	Did n''t keep you waiting a minute?"
38131	Did she have the same stateroom?
38131	Did you drop her there?"
38131	Did you ever know Carroll?
38131	Did you ever notice the changing style in villains, for example?
38131	Director?"
38131	Do n''t governmental investigations usually take a long time?"
38131	Do you know anyone who''s socially prominent in Madison?"
38131	Do you know of any demand for money which has been made?"
38131	Do you mean to say that its bite is sufficiently poisonous to kill a man?"
38131	Do you suspect the wife of the Third Assistant Secretary of State of robbing a bank?"
38131	Do you think it''s safe?"
38131	During the weeks that followed, people repeatedly asked the Commissioner:"What''s become of Jimmy Reynolds?
38131	Evans?"
38131	Ever hear of Rockwell?"
38131	Florence, Rose, and Amelia?
38131	For example, there was Virginia Lang--""Was she the girl at the switchboard that you mentioned in connection with the von Ewald case?"
38131	Going through to New York, of course?"
38131	Got a tip that the Huns are going to try to grab her?"
38131	Got any ideas on the matter?"
38131	Had Dick gotten her signal?
38131	Had he fallen into the power of the ring or was it possible that he was one of the blackmailers himself?
38131	Had he laid a plan whereby he could repeat this operation as often as necessary?
38131	Had some German, more daring than the rest, actually come ashore and penetrated into the very lines of the Service?
38131	Hal Preston handled it, did n''t he-- the same man responsible for running down''The Trail of the White Mice''?"
38131	Have n''t government detectives ever been instrumental in solving a murder mystery?"
38131	Have you any documents of importance-- international importance-- in your office at the present moment?"
38131	Have you got all the letters?"
38131	Have you tried tracing her from the other side?"
38131	He paused a moment, his breath rattling in his throat, and then continued:"It took me five years to find him-- but you say he''s dead?
38131	He would want to get the latest information, the most recent books, the--""What are you driving at?"
38131	He''s still chasing around with the blond-- but what''s become of Miss Red- head?"
38131	How are we going to find the corner where the machine turned?"
38131	How could one man carry away all that gold without being seen?
38131	How did the thief get the mail containing the money out of the building?
38131	How does that suit you?"
38131	How was the safe opened?"
38131	How''bout it?"
38131	How''d you happen to hit on that?"
38131	How?"
38131	However, if it had n''t been for Todd--""Todd?"
38131	I happened to be at a dinner with her last evening and--""You what?"
38131	In answer to her query,"Who''s there?"
38131	In what connection?"
38131	Incidentally, has all the rest of the gold been weighed?"
38131	Is he in?...
38131	Is he nuts about it?"
38131	Is n''t a spy always a spy?"
38131	Is n''t there any chance for a mistake?"
38131	Is there any milk in the house?"
38131	Is there any real foundation of fact?"
38131	It looked to be a certainty on the face of it, but, once you had discovered that, what good did it do you?
38131	It''ll take some time to get at the truth of the matter and, meanwhile, might I ask you to keep this information to yourself?"
38131	Let me know if anything comes up, will you?"
38131	Marks?"
38131	Meanwhile we''ll continue to be good friends and trail around together, eh?"
38131	Mighty funny kinder way to earn a livin'', Ah calls it-- flashing on an''off all night long....""But where''s he work from?"
38131	Mr. MacPherson?
38131	Murphy?
38131	Nab''em right away?"
38131	Now what''s your idea of handling the case?"
38131	Oh, well--""Any idea of where the shipments came from?"
38131	Or did the answer lie in a concealed wireless, operating upon information supplied through underground channels?
38131	Out of the darkness came the guttural inquiry:"What do you want?"
38131	Quinn must have read the look of interest in my face, for he continued, almost without a pause:"Did you ever hear the inside of that case?
38131	Ready?
38131	Ready?...
38131	Remember him?
38131	Ring?"
38131	Rotten weather, is n''t it?
38131	Saint Louis?
38131	See that black mark, like an inverted V, upon the head?
38131	See that twenty- five- cent piece up there on the wall?
38131	See?
38131	Serious as that, is it?"
38131	She is?
38131	She was Allison''s wife?"
38131	Should he attempt to find the house from which the scream had come and force the door?
38131	Should he take a chance on losing his prey merely to try to save a woman''s life?
38131	Six during the past few weeks?"
38131	So they were saving him for the sacrifice, eh?
38131	Some one broke in there and--""Yes-- but what about Holden?"
38131	Suppose we plan a certain event for the sixth of January?"
38131	Suppose we say the first of the year?
38131	That they did n''t suspect what you came to the dock for, and declared you in on the split?
38131	The case has n''t gotten into the papers, so why not release Thurene?"
38131	The first one read: Does your husband know the details of that trip to Fond du Lac?
38131	The girl''s first answer was a laugh, and then,"What do you mean,''put myself in his power''?"
38131	The question is, Where did she get the tip?"
38131	The question now is, What''s this particular storm and when is it goin''to break?"
38131	The question now is: Who are''they''and how did they operate?"
38131	The question was: Where was the money coming from and what was the immediate object of the game?
38131	The theft occurred shortly after midnight and--""If you know so much about it, why do n''t you arrest her?"
38131	Then one of these t''ree guys hailed me....""Three?"
38131	Then, as an after- thought,"Do you happen to know of any hotel or place here in town known as''Conner''s''?"
38131	Then, grinning, he continued,"Understand you''ve been having a bit of trouble out in Columbus?"
38131	Then, pointing to the name"Countess Sylvia Stefani"on the hotel sheet and to the same name on the wrapper, he asked,"Note everything?"
38131	Then, what was more natural than that her maid should accompany her on board when she was leaving?
38131	Then,"Are you sure you can put it over?"
38131	Then,"What do doctors do with their mistakes?"
38131	Then:"Notice anything funny about these?"
38131	Then:"What do you know about the anonymous letters which have been sent to a number of persons in this city?"
38131	There''s no chance to plant a dictaphone, and how else are you going to get the information?"
38131	They got out and were away for nearly two hours?
38131	They had turned up in the United States, so why could n''t they have been slipped through the customs of other countries just as easily?
38131	They were going to keep him here until their arrangements were complete and then make away with him, were they?
38131	Think the stuff is being brought over by airplane and landed inland?
38131	This is the first piece of personal property that I''ve been able to locate and you say there is nothing in this?"
38131	Thought you could get away with it indefinitely, eh?"
38131	Three of the former he slipped into his pocket and then, turning, inquired:"Was Mr. Rockwell fond of cold weather?"
38131	Tryin''to make it do tricks?"
38131	Want any help from this end?"
38131	Want any report to headquarters?"
38131	Want me to say''Hello''to anybody?"
38131	Want to come along, Rita?"
38131	Want to see something of my color process, eh?
38131	Was it the silent- moving head waiter?
38131	Was she to blame for that?"
38131	Was the cash O. K. at the Central Trust?"
38131	Was there a secret submarine base on the coast?
38131	Was there any gang?
38131	Washington?
38131	Were they there when you went over the books this morning?"
38131	What about the bum we carried in here last night-- the one that tried to help Anita in her getaway?"
38131	What business are you in?"
38131	What business have you in here?"
38131	What could their purpose be?
38131	What d''ye call those birds that fly around at sea just before a gale breaks-- stormy petrels?
38131	What do you know about her?"
38131	What do you want me to do?
38131	What do you want to do with th''lad in th''bed?"
38131	What does Dame Rumor say in this case?"
38131	What else was there for him to do?
38131	What happened then?"
38131	What happened to the Mexican?
38131	What has that got to do with it?"
38131	What is it?"
38131	What is the latest news from the ship?"
38131	What lines have Boyd and the other men here been following?"
38131	What name did this man give?"
38131	What next?
38131	What was in the box?"
38131	What was the connection between him and the quarter- million you mentioned?"
38131	What was the message Callahan sent?
38131	What was the motive?"
38131	What you smilin''at?"
38131	What''d you find in the store?"
38131	What''re you going to do when experts disagree?"
38131	What''s that Mahoney has in his hand?"
38131	What''s the address?"
38131	What''s the connection?"
38131	What''s the idea, anyhow?
38131	What''s the idea, anyhow?
38131	What''s the matter?"
38131	What''s the matter?"
38131	What''s the number of her stateroom?
38131	What''s the trouble?"
38131	What''ve you got in the bag there?"
38131	What?"
38131	When the conference concluded, sometime after midnight, the chief turned to Maxwell and inquired:"Well, what''s your idea about it?"
38131	Where are the envelopes in which these letters were mailed?"
38131	Where can I reach you by phone?"
38131	Where can I reach you?"
38131	Where did you get the money to pay for that ring you bought at Tiffany''s to- day?"
38131	Where did you meet''em and where did you drive''em?"
38131	Where is Cheney now?"
38131	Where is the gold?"
38131	Where was Conner''s?
38131	Where was it that they intended to place the bomb?
38131	Where''d you get it?"
38131	Where''d you get the message?"
38131	Where''ll I meet you to- night?"
38131	Where''s the box you were talking about?"
38131	Who does this Weimar live with?"
38131	Who is he?"
38131	Who sent the letter and the money from Washington?"
38131	Who was inquiring about him, and why?
38131	Who was the man they were plotting against?
38131	Who were"they"and where were they?
38131	Who would be likely to know?"
38131	Who''s been looting the local treasury?"
38131	Why am I Mrs. Mabel Kennedy, and what''s she supposed to do?"
38131	Why did n''t they come on the train?"
38131	Why do n''t you send Giles or one of the bachelors on this?"
38131	Why should n''t we take a leaf out of their book?"
38131	Why should they?"
38131	Why should you take such an interest in me?"
38131	Why the odd shape?
38131	Why would they arrange it so as to explode upon pressure, rather than concussion or by a time fuse?
38131	Why''d you ask?
38131	Why?
38131	Why?
38131	Why?
38131	Will you look after that?"
38131	Will you?"
38131	Wonder what that bookkeeper mailed?"
38131	Would he be able to trail his man?
38131	XXI A MILLION- DOLLAR QUARTER"What''s in the phial?"
38131	You are going, I suppose?"
38131	You did n''t find anything, of course?"
38131	You have the bunch of master keys, of course?"
38131	You know the system that maintains in the registry room?
38131	You remember me, do n''t you?
38131	You remember that case, do n''t you?
38131	You remember the Black Tom explosion in August, nineteen sixteen?
38131	You remember the Philadelphia mint robbery-- the one that Drummond solved in less than six hours?
38131	You remember the incident of the''leak''in the peace note, when certain Wall Street interests cleaned up millions of dollars?"
38131	You''re not lying?"
38131	You''ve searched the room thoroughly, of course?"
38131	snapped Todd,"but where have you been for the last hour?
38131	that you, Thurber?...
38131	who?"
41001	A traitor? 41001 About what?"
41001	Abroad?
41001	Ah, how can I tell, Signor Holford? 41001 Am I your father?"
41001	And Miss Ethelwynn?
41001	And as for my dual existence, as you term it, have I ever endeavoured to conceal it from you?
41001	And do you recognise this gentleman as the Professor?
41001	And has he always showed friendship towards you, Miss Greer?
41001	And he disappeared-- I suppose?
41001	And he has refused even you, eh?
41001	And if I did? 41001 And if I gave it,"I asked, not without some hesitation,"would these precious friends of yours give me back my wife?"
41001	And if you found your signora alive and well, you would undertake to make no further inquiry?
41001	And is that all?
41001	And it does not concern Mabel?
41001	And love for your wife makes you forget your word of honour given to me, eh?
41001	And men do not come to life again when once dead, do they?
41001	And my wife, Antonio-- where is she?
41001	And only for that reason?
41001	And only once?
41001	And pray what good would result?
41001	And that means-- what?
41001	And the lady-- what was she like? 41001 And then?
41001	And then?
41001	And was Greer there also?
41001	And what are they?
41001	And what did you find?
41001	And what happened then?
41001	And what was their destination?
41001	And what, pray, need I care for that girl''s future, now that mine has been wrecked by the devilish machinations of you and your gang?
41001	And when were you aware of the truth?
41001	And when you called him did you then see him in his berth?
41001	And who else was with him?
41001	And who was he?
41001	And will you not follow?
41001	And you afterwards went down to Broadstairs?
41001	And you are suspected as the assassin?
41001	And you are unaware of who did this?
41001	And you believe that Kirk has gone with the Professor to visit Sir Mark Edwards?
41001	And you expect me to believe that, eh?
41001	And you know more than you will tell me?
41001	And you made the signal to Kirk?
41001	And you say that the signora knew nothing of the affair at Sussex Place?
41001	And you think they would be accepted as evidence that Professor Greer was done to death?
41001	And you told nobody?
41001	And, her disillusionment over, she repaid you for your exertions on her behalf by becoming engaged to you, eh?
41001	And, later on, you discovered the furnace alight, eh?
41001	And, pray, why should I not possess friends?
41001	And, tell me, what connection had Doctor Flynn with the affair?
41001	Apparently you do n''t believe this statement of Miss Ethelwynn''s?
41001	Are you not being misled, as these men are trying to mislead me?
41001	Are you quite certain of that, Antonio?
41001	As a matter of fact, what evidence is there that the Professor is dead?
41001	At Kirk''s orders?
41001	Because you have now realised that Scotland Yard refuse their assistance, eh?
41001	But are you absolutely certain that a journey to Strassburg to- morrow would be useless?
41001	But at least you will do something with the bodies of the victims? 41001 But did not you, with your own eyes, see your father dead in his laboratory?"
41001	But for what reason do you ask this? 41001 But have I not already impressed upon you, my dear friend, the absolute necessity of secrecy in this affair?"
41001	But have you discovered where he is living?
41001	But how could he have escaped?
41001	But how do you account for Ethelwynn being still alive?
41001	But how do you account for that remarkable occurrence behind those locked doors?
41001	But if the Professor is in Scotland, as you say, why have you called this evening?
41001	But may she not have been prevented from sending any message home?
41001	But might she not have been induced to return by morbid curiosity?
41001	But my wife?
41001	But our acquaintance is not very intimate, is it? 41001 But surely Ethelwynn would not?"
41001	But surely I ought to know the truth? 41001 But what connection can my wife possibly have with any occurrence at the house of Professor Greer?"
41001	But where is Antonio and all the other servants?
41001	But where is Mabel?
41001	But who are my enemies?
41001	But who had attacked you in the diningroom?
41001	But why has she gone?
41001	But why let us discuss it? 41001 But why not tell the police?"
41001	But why?
41001	But you also had a further motive?
41001	But you have, I understand, been acting in concert with the man who calls himself Greer?
41001	But, as you are aware of only half the tangled skein of mysterious facts, it is hardly likely that you''ll succeed, do you think? 41001 But,"I asked very pointedly,"pray tell me, Mr. Kirk, what was your object in calling upon me and inducing me to go to Sussex Place?"
41001	By the latter, I take it, you mean ourselves?
41001	By the way,he echoed suddenly,"do you know any other language besides English?"
41001	By what train?
41001	Ca n''t you see that this suspense is turning my brain?
41001	Can I see him?
41001	Can I see your mother?
41001	Can not you believe us?
41001	Can not you telegraph and ask?
41001	Concerning what?
41001	Could I telegraph to him?
41001	Did I not tell you on the first evening you sat here with me that I was a dealer in secrets?
41001	Did he mention that Edwards and Sutton were old friends of his?
41001	Did he receive many letters?
41001	Did he say when his master would be back?
41001	Did he talk to you?
41001	Did it alter his appearance much?
41001	Did n''t they give any reason why they wanted to see the cover?
41001	Did she say whether she is returning to London?
41001	Did you follow him?
41001	Did you read the telegram she received?
41001	Did you see him? 41001 Did you take the Professor up to Edinburgh?"
41001	Do you allege, then, that you were an actual witness of the cremation?
41001	Do you happen to know a Mr. Kershaw Kirk?
41001	Do you happen to know his whereabouts?
41001	Do you happen to know who Kershaw Kirk really is?
41001	Do you know Strassburg? 41001 Do you know him?
41001	Do you know the porter who took his bag?
41001	Do you know where he arrived from?
41001	Do you think he''s gone to Glasgow?
41001	Do you think that the Professor was struck down at the spot where he now is?
41001	Does he give none?
41001	Does he have many callers?
41001	From me?
41001	Greer?
41001	Had you ever met the Professor before?
41001	Has it been moved?
41001	Has it not struck you that the telegram sent from Edinburgh may have been despatched by the assassin?
41001	Has not Miss Ethelwynn told you anything?
41001	Have I not already told you? 41001 Have n''t the police been informed?"
41001	Have the windows been examined?
41001	Have you been to Italy?
41001	Have you ever been to the Professor''s house in London?
41001	Have you not betrayed me? 41001 He had n''t been very long with you, had he?"
41001	He is your friend-- eh?
41001	He killed your master-- eh?
41001	He wished you to go to Scotland out of the way, eh?
41001	He would not allow you to go to him, eh?
41001	He wrote to you?
41001	He''s seldom here, then?
41001	How can I find them? 41001 How can I have?
41001	How can I tell, my dear sir? 41001 How can I, after all that has passed?"
41001	How did you account for the bloodstain? 41001 How did you know that the Professor is in Scotland?"
41001	How do you know that she did?
41001	How do you know that, pray?
41001	How long has Doctor Flynn lived there?
41001	How will you obtain a medical certificate and get it buried by an undertaker?
41001	How? 41001 Hulloa?
41001	I presume, sir,he said,"that you are an agent of police?"
41001	I suppose he seldom went out?
41001	I suppose it is a most important one?
41001	I suppose you wish to mislead me into the idea that she is back again in London, hiding from me, eh?
41001	I wonder how you came to know that?
41001	I wonder if thieves are inside? 41001 I wonder what that was?"
41001	I wonder what the Professor has been doing to- day?
41001	I wonder who''s ringing up?
41001	I-- well, how can I tell? 41001 If anyone obtained access to the laboratory, then, they could steal the secret?"
41001	If you are really my friend, if you really wish me to assist you, why not instruct me how to act? 41001 In another name-- eh?"
41001	In what manner?
41001	In what manner?
41001	In what way?
41001	Is Miss Ethelwynn at home?
41001	Is he still there?
41001	Is he?
41001	Is that you, sir? 41001 Is there any actual, evidence of it?
41001	Is there no other door-- no back door?
41001	Is there no other means of access except through the boudoir?
41001	Is this a fact?
41001	Is your master at home?
41001	Kirk?
41001	Kirk?
41001	May I come with you, Harry?
41001	May it not be that you are somewhat prejudiced against him?
41001	Miss Ethelwynn saw her father lying dead, as I did; how, therefore, can she identify you as her deceased parent? 41001 My dear Holford, why-- what''s the matter?"
41001	Not going? 41001 Not if I appeal to you on behalf of Ethelwynn, on behalf of a girl whose very life is dependent upon your silence?"
41001	Nothing else? 41001 Of course not,"I said,"but is your trust really well founded, do you think?
41001	Of course, I''m not quite sure,the young man replied;"but is it not curious that Miss Greer and the servants are all out?
41001	Of what?
41001	Oh, there is someone there, eh?
41001	Or by a window leading out on to some leads somewhere?
41001	Shall I call the park- keeper at Clarence Gate? 41001 Shall I go for a doctor?"
41001	Shall I wait for you?
41001	She did n''t tell you her father''s whereabouts?
41001	She may not be dead?
41001	She told you that?
41001	So you refuse your aid in assisting me to find my wife?
41001	Somebody who you believe was disturbed by your ring at the door, eh?
41001	Surely it is not my place to carry tales to you, is it?
41001	Surely you do n''t believe that the girl has participated in any shamefully obtained profits?
41001	Tell me,I asked the girl,"do they ever have a visitor named Kirk?"
41001	Tell me-- once and for all-- are you aware of my wife''s whereabouts?
41001	Tell me; she''s-- what?
41001	That Italian fellow discharged them, did n''t he?
41001	That was in Vienna?
41001	That''s scarcely conclusive, is it? 41001 The Professor sent no reply to the message?"
41001	The Professor was a friend of your aunt''s, I suppose?
41001	The false telegram was dispatched from Turin, eh?
41001	The telegram summoning her to Italy came after her return?
41001	Then even I may not know the true facts?
41001	Then even you are mystified by these strange happenings?
41001	Then he brought you to Sussex Place on purpose to show you the dead body of my master?
41001	Then he often goes abroad?
41001	Then he-- he''s at home again?
41001	Then how do you account for the movements I have heard inside?
41001	Then she was in fear of discovery, eh?
41001	Then surely it is a rather happy circumstance that we have met to- day?
41001	Then tell it to me-- relieve this burden of a crime which is oppressing me?
41001	Then the murdered person was not your friend?
41001	Then the poor Professor is dead?
41001	Then they are not friends of long standing?
41001	Then they were secret experiments he was making?
41001	Then what proof do you require?
41001	Then who has?
41001	Then why have n''t you told it to me?
41001	Then why were you in the house at the time the traces of the crime were being effaced in the furnace?
41001	Then you are a detective, after all? 41001 Then you are a friend of Kirk''s-- not of my father?"
41001	Then you are not a police officer?
41001	Then you are satisfied?
41001	Then you refuse to accept even the park- keeper''s testimony?
41001	Then, of course, you''ll go? 41001 Then, to put it plainly, I''ve nothing to hope for from you?"
41001	This he has told you?
41001	To the station-- eh?
41001	Under exactly what circumstances has Mrs. Holford disappeared?
41001	Was he about fifty, and rather thin?
41001	Was your business of a pressing nature?
41001	Well, Holford,he exclaimed, stretching his slippered feet lazily towards the fire,"so you have, after all, proved a traitor, eh?"
41001	Well, Mr. Holford,he said,"why do n''t you speak candidly and openly?
41001	Well, am I not endeavouring to elucidate the mystery?
41001	Well, what then?
41001	Well,I asked, after he was out of hearing,"what do you intend doing now?"
41001	Well,I asked, going straight to the point,"what have you discovered?"
41001	Well,he said at last,"what does it matter if the signorina is still alive, as you say?
41001	Well-- and am I to be blamed for Langton''s pretended ignorance?
41001	Well-- how do you know she is not here-- in London?
41001	Well? 41001 Well?"
41001	Well?
41001	Well?
41001	Well?
41001	What about her maid Morgan?
41001	What actual evidence have you upon that point, beyond my word-- repeated from the story told to me by Antonio?
41001	What am I to do?
41001	What can Antonio possibly know? 41001 What day was that?"
41001	What did he say of me?
41001	What do you say to that?
41001	What do you suggest as my next move? 41001 What does Langton know?"
41001	What does he want with a tyre when he has n''t got a car?
41001	What does this mean?
41001	What is he doing in Rome?
41001	What is that?
41001	What is your theory?
41001	What kind of man was madame''s husband?
41001	What matter the affairs of others, so long as the wife I love is innocent and at my side? 41001 What misfortune?"
41001	What special feature can there be, pray? 41001 What was her attitude towards the Professor?"
41001	What''s the matter? 41001 What''s this story of yours about Miss Greer presenting an appearance of death?"
41001	What?
41001	When did he last call?
41001	When did he take his luggage?
41001	When did you first know him?
41001	When did you last see her?
41001	When did you see him again?
41001	When do you expect Mr. Merli back?
41001	When?
41001	Where did he alight?
41001	Where is Flynn?
41001	Where is Mabel?
41001	Where is she?
41001	Where is the unfortunate girl?
41001	Where''s Antonio?
41001	Where''s Miss Gwen? 41001 Where''s your coat?
41001	Where''s your coat?
41001	Who are you, please?
41001	Who is he?
41001	Who is he?
41001	Who is the victim?
41001	Who is this Professor of whom you have spoken?
41001	Who killed Professor Greer?
41001	Who was the man who went to Edinburgh on the night of the tragedy?
41001	Who''s responsible for this, I wonder?
41001	Who, may I ask, are you?
41001	Why are you in such mortal fear of Langton?
41001	Why are you so carefully hiding other facts?
41001	Why did n''t she call Antonio?
41001	Why did n''t you tell me this before, Gwen?
41001	Why did she wish to return here in secret-- to the house wherein she knew her father was lying dead? 41001 Why did you entice me into this complicated tangle of crime and mystery?"
41001	Why do n''t you call a doctor?
41001	Why do n''t you speak quite plainly?
41001	Why do you wish to extract this promise from me?
41001	Why not be quite frank with me, Antonio?
41001	Why not tell me more?
41001	Why not?
41001	Why not?
41001	Why should I retaliate, if you are not responsible for my wife''s absence?
41001	Why to Strassburg?
41001	Why, did not you and I see him dead? 41001 Why, pray, will you be suspected of being a murderer?"
41001	Why, what has happened?
41001	Why,he exclaimed, turning slightly pale, and staring at me,"how did you know that?"
41001	Why?
41001	Why?
41001	Why?
41001	Why?
41001	Why?
41001	Why?
41001	Why?
41001	Why?
41001	Why?
41001	Why?
41001	Why?
41001	Will you go round to the front and see if there are lights in any of the rooms, while I remain here? 41001 Will you not try to discover where Mabel is?"
41001	Will you step into my office?
41001	Would it not be natural for your wife, on failing to find you in Florence, either to wire to her sister at home or to return home at once? 41001 Would you kindly tell him that Mr. Kirk desires to see him?"
41001	Yes, why?
41001	Yes,he replied;"and you?"
41001	You actually mean that, signore?
41001	You appear not to have approved of the lady''s connection with the sale of the patent?
41001	You are a friend of the family, I suppose?
41001	You are, I take it, the only agent in this country?
41001	You believe him guilty, then?
41001	You did n''t notice whence it had been despatched?
41001	You did n''t see him again?
41001	You do n''t happen to know to which hotel they''ve gone in Rome?
41001	You do n''t know who rang you up?
41001	You do not suspect any of the servants?
41001	You have a Mrs. Holford staying here?
41001	You have actual knowledge that Mr. Langton has quarrelled with Kirk?
41001	You have been with your master in Hungary or in Roumania, I hear?
41001	You have had some important business dealings with him, Sir Mark, I see from yesterday''s paper?
41001	You have no hesitation in identifying him, eh?
41001	You hear that, Joseph?
41001	You know him?
41001	You know his brother, of course?
41001	You know the Professor, eh, Harry?
41001	You mean Mr. Antonio? 41001 You mean she was not very happy with her husband?"
41001	You mean that I should have profited pecuniarily by concealing the fact that Professor Greer is dead and that an impostor has assumed his identity? 41001 You mean you and your accomplices?"
41001	You never heard her speak of the Professor before?
41001	You say that the Professor was in Strassburg?
41001	You suggest that she has purposely left me?
41001	You suspect Kirk?
41001	You suspect him of having a hand in her disappearance? 41001 You think she''s been tricked?"
41001	You told Langton nothing, I trust?
41001	You would cast a slur upon her good name?
41001	You would really refrain from seeking further, providing you rediscover your wife?
41001	You''ll be able to swear to him in a court of law?
41001	You''ll go, I suppose?
41001	You''re quite certain of that?
41001	You''ve known Professor Greer a long time?
41001	You''ve known him a long time, I presume?
41001	You''ve lost your wife, eh?
41001	You''ve sold some, of course?
41001	You''ve told no one else of this?
41001	You-- you followed him?
41001	Your father did not, I believe, tell you of his projected visit to Germany before leaving?
41001	Your only confidant is Antonio?
41001	Your profession is not that of a detective?
41001	And again, what connection could the Eckhardt tyre have with the strange affair?
41001	And if so, with what motive?
41001	And if we did?"
41001	And why had she done so in the dining- room, of all places?
41001	And why was every effort of mine to discover her met only by threats of impending disaster?
41001	And why, most of all, had she not summoned Antonio?
41001	Antonio, suave and cringing, suddenly put his head in at the door, asking:"Did you ring, signore?"
41001	Are you coming down here?"
41001	Are you quite certain that he is your friend, or only your pretended ally?"
41001	At last she asked:"Have you packed your things, Harry?"
41001	Besides, how could the two doors be locked behind the assassin?
41001	But for what reason was my well- beloved Mabel, the loving wife whom I adored, held in the unscrupulous hands of those who killed Professor Greer?
41001	But for what?"
41001	But have n''t you any idea where he intended going?"
41001	But have n''t you been in Florence?"
41001	But that could not be, for had she not seen him dead with her own eyes?
41001	But was not the truth a strange one?
41001	But what account could I myself give of the reason of my call?
41001	But why had she returned to the house in a manner so secret?
41001	But why has the laboratory been broken open; and, again, why has the furnace been lit?
41001	But,"he added, after a slight pause,"would you object to telling me how you first became acquainted with Signor Kirk?"
41001	But,"he asked,"where did you meet the Signor Langton?"
41001	But-- but, hark?"
41001	But--"He hesitated, and then inquired,"Will you pardon me if I ask who you may be?"
41001	Ca n''t you see, my friend, that you can assist in furthering the ends of justice-- in fastening the guilt upon the assassin?"
41001	Can not you communicate with the Italian police concerning it?"
41001	Could I tell her that the Professor, her father, had been cruelly done to death, and his body cremated in his own experimental furnace?
41001	Could this be one of Kirk''s ingenious subterfuges in order to gain time?
41001	Could this girl and my wife have been secretly acquainted?
41001	Did I not tell you to remain silent and inactive?
41001	Did not his daughter stand before his lifeless body?"
41001	Did not those words of his conclusively prove complicity in the affair?
41001	Did she awake and recognise him, or had she herself been an accomplice in securing her father''s sudden and tragic end?
41001	Did you speak with him?"
41001	Do you for one moment suppose that were I guilty I would have taken you to Sussex Place and explained the whole affair in detail?
41001	Do you happen to know Sussex Place, Regent''s Park?"
41001	Do you know him?"
41001	For what reason could he desire Mabel''s presence in Florence?
41001	For what reason, therefore, was she being misled, and why, oh, why, did she allow this perfect stranger to pose as myself?
41001	For what reason?"
41001	Forgive me for suspecting you, wo n''t you?"
41001	German, for instance?"
41001	Had I acted foolishly in doing so?
41001	Had I not given my word of honour to be silent?
41001	Had I not given my word of honour to that weird will- o''-the- wisp, Kershaw Kirk, that I would preserve silence?
41001	Had I not sent that telegram from Broadstairs and signed it Kirk, and had not its receipt caused the false Professor quickly to change his quarters?
41001	Had I not with my own eyes seen the poor girl lying cold and dead in the room downstairs?
41001	Had any of the servants met with an accident?"
41001	Had he merely come down there to have further words with me, or did he require a cover for some specific purpose?
41001	Had he not told me plainly that by mere mention of his name to that young man, all hope of solving the enigma would be at an end?
41001	Had not Ethelwynn already told me of Langton''s suspicion of this man, who was to me and mine such a mystery?
41001	Had not Kirk previously admitted to me that his earnest endeavour was to secure my silence?
41001	Had not Kirk told me that she had thrown herself upon her knees before her father''s body, vowing a fierce, bitter vengeance upon his assassin?
41001	Had that bottle of acid been purposely smashed in order to dispel any unpleasant odour arising from the furnace?
41001	Had that crafty servant at Sussex Place dispatched the false message, I wondered?
41001	Had the man who had such a contempt for the police-- whom he denounced as red- taped blunderers-- succeeded in removing all trace of the crime?
41001	Have I not already told you that I am entirely ignorant of her whereabouts?"
41001	Have I not asked you all along for a clear statement of facts?
41001	Have I not urged you to tell me where I can find my wife?"
41001	Have you a half- brother, or some relation strongly resembling you?"
41001	Have you any idea where he has gone?"
41001	Have you ever been seized with misgivings of a person whom you have no just cause to doubt?
41001	Holford?"
41001	How can I form any conclusions or help you if you deliberately hold back from me some of the circumstances?"
41001	How many thousands had Edwards and Sutton paid to him for that great secret that was not his own?
41001	How much did Langton know, and what was the extent of the knowledge of that friend of his, the specialist in diseases of the throat and nose?
41001	How was it that Mabel, my dear, beloved wife, had allied herself with that pair of adventurers?
41001	How would he act?
41001	How would you have acted?
41001	How?"
41001	I cried,"then you are acting in conjunction with Kirk?
41001	I dined at home, and I suppose my manner was so preoccupied that Mabel, my wife, asked:"What''s the matter, Harry?
41001	I had made a promise to Kershaw Kirk, yet now that he had so grossly deceived me, why should I keep it?
41001	I said, turning to the Professor-- for how could I now doubt that it was actually he?
41001	I suppose the telegram is n''t left about anywhere?"
41001	I suppose you''ve been listening outside-- eh?
41001	I wonder whether you would take me to Tottenham Court Road?"
41001	I wonder,"he went on thoughtfully, after a pause--"I wonder if I told you whether you would keep the secret?"
41001	If Kirk had caused the Professor''s death, then why had he enlisted my aid?
41001	If he were not the Professor, then who could he have been?
41001	If she had, then how are we to find her?
41001	If so, by whom?
41001	If so, was not that sufficient proof of his own guilt?
41001	In what manner was he assisting his friend, Leonard Langton?
41001	Indeed, does it not tend to confirm the story that the Professor did not die, and that he really killed the German in self- defence?"
41001	Indeed, my own position was somewhat unenviable, for, being aware that a murder had been committed, was I not legally bound to give information?
41001	Is he-- is he your friend, Mr. Holford-- or--_or your enemy_?"
41001	Is it any use prolonging this argument?"
41001	Is it in connection with any new invention?"
41001	Is it not due to you, and you alone, that my wife is missing?"
41001	Is it, indeed, to be supposed that I would place myself so entirely and completely in the hands of a stranger?"
41001	Is not such a feeling the result of some unseen evil influence radiating from the person suspected-- often quite rightly?
41001	Is not that quite feasible?"
41001	Is not that so?"
41001	Is she not anxious regarding her niece''s whereabouts?"
41001	Is there any need to say more?
41001	Is there any other message for me?"
41001	It was theft, I knew, but was not theft justifiable in such unusual circumstances?
41001	It was true that he had taken me into his confidence, but was it not done only for his own ingenious and devilish purpose?
41001	Kirk?"
41001	Kirk?"
41001	Kirk?"
41001	Langton?"
41001	May I see the Commissioner myself?"
41001	My profession?
41001	Need I tell you that Mabel and myself stood beside the grave and watched the burial of poor Professor Greer at St. Peter''s, near Broadstairs?
41001	Now what is your opinion?"
41001	Or should I remain silent and watch?
41001	Or was it Kirk himself?
41001	Or was it that she herself was an accomplice?
41001	Perhaps you will care to see him?
41001	Perhaps you''ll come with me again-- eh?"
41001	Place yourself in my position and ask yourself what you, in those circumstances, would have thought?
41001	Presently he exclaimed:"Would you kindly excuse me?
41001	Shall I tell him?"
41001	She noted my surprise, and said:"Yes, why should n''t he?"
41001	Should I go to the police in the morning and make a clean breast of the whole affair?
41001	So you think I''m guilty of the crime, eh?"
41001	Such being the case, how can I think ill of the eccentric old fellow?"
41001	Surely by doing this I should be performing a work of public benefit?
41001	Surely we would have a long time to wait for his arrival?
41001	Surely when I invoked your aid I did not commit a grave error of judgment?
41001	Surely you have acted as a good friend to me, therefore why should n''t I receive you?
41001	The grave- eyed man- servant entered in a few seconds, and as he did so the new- comer said:"Antonio, will you please tell this gentleman who I am?"
41001	The mystery of her disappearance was as great and inexplicable as the problem of who killed Professor Greer?
41001	The young lady-- she''s--""What do you mean?
41001	Then I added:"He was dead when we were together in the laboratory, was he not?
41001	Then what did it all mean?
41001	Then, of a sudden, he turned to the big grey parrot and asked in a shrill, squeaky tone, almost a croak:"Shall I tell him, Joseph?
41001	Then, when the message came, she became almost frantic in her anxiety for your welfare, saying,` Did I not tell you so?
41001	There is no reason for her leaving you, is there?"
41001	Therefore what could I do?
41001	Therefore you, surely, have your own suspicions?"
41001	Therefore--""Then does his daughter actually deny having seen him, as I saw him, lying dead in the laboratory?"
41001	To whom had the dead man signalled in the Morse code by raising and lowering the blind?
41001	Was I not liable to prosecution if I failed to do so?
41001	Was Mabel, my beloved and devoted wife, to fall helplessly into their unscrupulous hands?
41001	Was he not fooling me when, all the time, he was the actual assassin?
41001	Was he the man who killed Professor Greer?
41001	Was he young-- or old?"
41001	Was it any wonder, then, that I was neglecting my business, leaving all to Pelham, with whom I had communicated by telegram several times?
41001	Was it because of fear of him?
41001	Was it best to ascend the steps, knock boldly at the door, and inquire the reason of that frantic appeal?
41001	Was it for that reason, in order to remove them, that Kershaw Kirk had been there?
41001	Was it in Foley Street, that squalid house where I had heard a woman''s frantic screams?
41001	Was it not astounding, startling?
41001	Was it not, then, more than likely that they would ere long meet again?
41001	Was it possible that I had been mistaken in Ethelwynn''s attitude, and that she genuinely believed that her father still lived?
41001	Was it possible that he was the unknown assassin, and was only misleading me by clever and cunning devices?
41001	Was it possible that her lover also knew the truth?
41001	Was it possible that this impostor was the Professor''s twin brother?
41001	Was it surprising, therefore, that I should endeavour to shield him?"
41001	Was it suspicion of myself?
41001	Was not his suggestion to me that I should forget the tragedy sufficient proof of double dealing?
41001	Was not that telegram essentially a word of warning given by one accomplice to another?
41001	Was not that, in itself, a staggering mystery, exclusive of that secret visit of Kirk''s to Foley Street, and the woman''s cry in that foggy night?
41001	Was not that, in itself, sufficient evidence of collusion?
41001	Was that person who received the signal afterwards the assassin?
41001	Was this Kirk''s work?
41001	Was this an additional phase of the already inscrutable problem?
41001	Was this man, known as Martin, about to meet Kirk?
41001	Was this, then, the reason why I had found him alone in the house?
41001	Well, if he did not fear the crime of retaliation being brought home to him, why did he not go openly and lay the facts before the police?
41001	Were not those the words of a woman who possessed some guilty knowledge, if not herself guilty of parricide?
41001	Were the keys still upon the victim?"
41001	What consultation, I wondered, had taken place there?
41001	What could I do further?
41001	What could I think?
41001	What could I think?
41001	What could have been the motive?
41001	What could have been the story told to her to induce her to become the catspaw of men of that stamp?
41001	What could have been their object?
41001	What could it all mean?
41001	What could it mean?
41001	What could it mean?
41001	What could it mean?
41001	What could that young man want at the house of death?
41001	What do you believe occurred?"
41001	What do you mean?"
41001	What do you say?"
41001	What has happened now?"
41001	What if I told him of the girl''s mysterious death?
41001	What if it were the unknown assassin, returned to the scene of his crime?
41001	What is the Professor''s address?"
41001	What motive could he have in enticing her away from you?"
41001	What motive could they have in killing such an excellent, easygoing master as the Professor?"
41001	What motive had he in this?
41001	What other reply could I make?
41001	What proof have you?
41001	What reply could I give?
41001	What risks could Kirk be running by coming to Broadstairs?
41001	What signal had he made-- and to whom?
41001	What then?"
41001	What was Germany''s wrath at being foiled in her dastardly attempt to obtain the secret of the new steel, to Mabel''s honour and her love?
41001	What was it?"
41001	What was the use?
41001	What would he say?
41001	What would they have thought had they known that I had allowed the mysterious Kirk, who had been lurking there, to escape?
41001	What, I wondered, could have been the purport of that mysterious message in German that he had listened to on the telephone just before we had parted?
41001	What, I wondered, could possibly be Ethelwynn''s motive in concealing her father''s death?
41001	What, I wondered, was the reason of my strange friend being in there alone?
41001	What, indeed, did that man want with one of the new tyres?
41001	What, indeed, is the motive of all this inquiry?
41001	What, indeed, would you have thought in the circumstances?
41001	Where is she?"
41001	Which of the three, I wondered, was a member of that most exclusive and old- fashioned institution?
41001	Which way did young Langton go?"
41001	Who and what is he?"
41001	Who could he be, that, like the King himself, he could not be brought before a judge?
41001	Who could tell?
41001	Who had been entertained there by Kirk?
41001	Who had killed Professor Greer?
41001	Who told you I was back again?"
41001	Who was he?"
41001	Who was this Kershaw Kirk?
41001	Who was this man that his belongings should be exempt from Customs''examination?
41001	Who were the three persons who dined here this evening?
41001	Who were those two mysterious callers who had followed his visit, and whom Pelham had seen?
41001	Who_ did_ kill Professor Greer?
41001	Whom were they expecting to arrive?
41001	Why dare not Kirk meet him?
41001	Why did you leave London so hurriedly?"
41001	Why do you ask?"
41001	Why had Mabel fled from me, after speeding so swiftly to meet me?
41001	Why had he endeavoured to frighten me from going to Scotland Yard?
41001	Why had my dear wife Mabel been decoyed out to Italy by them?
41001	Why had she crept into the dining- room and removed her hat?
41001	Why had she not ascended to her own room?
41001	Why had the lights been so suddenly extinguished when Langton had rung the bell?
41001	Why has Antonio fled to France?"
41001	Why not?"
41001	Why should I not tell the truth?
41001	Why should I?"
41001	Why was she concealing the fact of her father''s death?
41001	Why, I thought you intended to see the Professor in Strassburg?"
41001	Why?
41001	Why?
41001	Why?"
41001	Why?"
41001	Will they accord you no satisfaction?"
41001	Will you become my friend, and assist me in trying to unravel it?"
41001	Will you do so?
41001	Will you give me another?"
41001	Will you go and get a constable-- or shall I?"
41001	Will you stay here to bar their exit, while I go out and find a constable?"
41001	Will you, at least, give me your promise?"
41001	Would it not be to her interest to mislead me and send me off upon a wild- goose chase?
41001	Would you care to come with me now?
41001	Yes?"
41001	Yet had he not openly admitted his inability to prove an alibi?
41001	Yet had not Kirk himself expressed a fear at meeting him?
41001	Yet how could I recognise a man who was disguised, and whom I had never seen?
41001	Yet how could he so impose upon Mabel as to be allowed to pass as her husband?
41001	Yet how could she feign ignorance?
41001	Yet how dare I divulge a word of what I knew?
41001	Yet how was that possible with Mabel present?
41001	Yet if I did so, would I be believed?
41001	Yet if not, why had he taken such pains to disguise his appearance?
41001	Yet in the garb of a mechanic, was I not much handicapped?
41001	Yet that even surely did not affect the girl''s amazing attitude?
41001	Yet was not Mabel''s liberty-- nay, perhaps her very life-- at stake?
41001	Yet was not the temptation to put the question too great to be resisted?
41001	Yet was there no suspicion upon Antonio Merli, the foreign servant, who seemed hand- in- glove with Kirk?
41001	Yet were not those remains, in conjunction with the words of Kershaw Kirk, sufficient evidence of a grim and ghastly occurrence?
41001	Yet why, if he were the actual criminal, had he taken me, a perfect stranger, into his confidence?
41001	You are Mr. Kirk, are you not?"
41001	You are, I take it, eager to make terms with your enemies, eh?"
41001	You have a car outside, I suppose?
41001	You have been judicious throughout, I hope?
41001	You have known him for a long time-- eh?"
41001	You have not forgotten the great issues which I explained depended upon your silence?"
41001	You must be pretty busy down there-- eh?"
41001	You realise your own peril-- eh?"
41001	You seem unusually worried?"
41001	You will remember that the mirror remained unclouded by her breath?"
41001	You wish to tie me down to that?"
41001	You''ll call and see me very soon, wo n''t you?"
41001	Young or old?"
41001	he asked, as we still stood before the closed door,"what shall we do?"
41001	so Antonio is changing his tale in order to fit the new order of events-- is he?"
41001	then tell my daughter to come up?"
