The perfectly frank declaration of Church put his mind at rest. He spoke sharper that was all. "Well," said he. "Things are going to be different all round; better too." He turned away towards the bureau, and Church opened the door. "You don't want me any longer, my Lord?" "Not just now." He opened Kelly's directory, and looked up the solicitors, till he came to the name he wanted.
I'm coming to the point. My eye fell upon an old-fashioned bureau " "But we searched every drawer in that bureau!" "Any secret drawers?" "Secret drawers! No! there were no secret drawers that I ever heard of!" Mr. Barlow rubbed his hands and mused a moment. "I was struck with that bureau; for any father had had one like it. It is not English it is of Dutch manufacture."
Whatever projects the young men might be disposed to form for the purpose of eluding the prudent precautions of their seniors were for the moment cut short by a knocking at the door, which made them start aside like the disturbed conspirators that they were.

On the verandah she stopped very suddenly again. Her mother was sitting in the drawing-room at her writing bureau, quite alone. There was nothing remarkable in the expression of her face except its utter immobility. But she looked desolate! Fleur went up-stairs. At the door of her room she paused.

When I reached the ground, I found the lady who had been saved out on the pier with her father, with their trunks which had been removed there by the latter. She had transferred from the drawers of the bureau brought out by Hop, all her clothing. She had quite recovered from her fright. She was not more than sixteen, and with the exception of Edith Shepard, I never saw a prettier girl.
And I placed my bed, bed-roll, blankets and ample pelisse under one arm, my 150-odd pound duffle-bag under the other; then I paused. Then I said, "Where's my cane?" The v-f-g hereat had a sort of fit, which perfectly became him. I repeated gently: "When I came to the bureau I had a cane."
Even now the police, with their wonderful acumen, might be on my track! I reached Paris at last, and as my taxi swung round from the Place Jeanne d'Arc into the Rue de Rivoli I began to feel extremely nervous. In reply to my inquiry at the bureau of the smart Hôtel Ombrone I was told that I could be given a bed. Monsieur Duperré? Ah, monsieur had just gone out, but would be back soon, most likely.
