It was a small metal chest, evidently of very considerable weight, and it stood immediately outside the door of Number 14a. "That was what he came for, sir! That was what he came for! You were too quick for him!" Beeton stood behind us, his horror-bright eyes fixed upon the box. "Eh?" rapped Smith, turning upon him.
There might be a cab waiting at the pillar box to be exact there is, I ordered one." "That's the idea," cried Almont. "Sweet and simple." "That cab would dodge about the streets a while and eventually make its way to Wimbledon. At Wimbledon it would deposit Barraclough at Number 14a, Medina Road.

Let us make our presence known to Sir Gregory the man who has dared to raise that veil." "Lock the door!" said Smith significantly, as we stepped into the corridor.

The climb was a hard and rough accomplishment, with the right flank under mitrailleuse fire from Loos, and with the left exposed to fire from Pit 14A; but it was accomplished far too quickly.
