And your father, Christmas, has gone for help. If I know anything, he won't be back again for ages. Seriously, how did what happen?" "Chauffeur took the turn rather late, and next moment we were up the bank and in this wretched drift. It wasn't altogether the man's fault. One of our head-lights wouldn't work, and you couldn't see the drift till we were in it."
Gordon, the corpulent Jew shopkeeper whom they had once gagged in his own shop. There was the tipsy old Hertfordshire rustic; he was talking energetically to himself. There was not only Mr. Vane the magistrate, but the clerk of Mr. Vane, the magistrate. There was not only Miss Drake of the motor-car, but also Miss Drake's chauffeur.
As Jacques de Wissant made his way through the crowd, his grey frock-coat was pulled by many a horny hand, and imploring faces gazed with piteous questioning into his. But he could give them no comfort. Not till he found himself actually in the Admiral's car did he give his instructions to the chauffeur.
The English officer listened and smiled in sympathy, and he remarked, after our reluctant departure, that America was an extraordinary land. He directed our chauffeur to Bapaume, across that wilderness which the Germans had so wantonly made in their retreat to the Hindenburg line.
A great deal depends, now, on our dog-detectives." "But," I objected, "what good will they be? Our men are in an automobile." "We thought of that," replied Garrick confidently. "Here they are, at last," he cried, as a car swung up the lane from the road and stopped with a rush under our window. He leaned out and shouted, "Dillon up here quick!" It was Dillon and his chauffeur, Jim.
"The doctor didn't say anything about having him moved." "You get the car," Gerald ordered the young man. "I'll take the whole responsibility." The chauffeur silently left the room. Gerald put a couple of sovereigns upon the mantelpiece. "My friend is a man of somewhat peculiar temperament," he said quietly.
The chauffeur whitened and moved closer to Miller. "Was Mr. Spencer in your confidence?" "No." "And the Baron did not trust him," said Heinrich, reflectively. "If he was not one of us, how came he to be killed?" "God knows." Miller threw out his hands in a hopeless gesture. "I don't." "But there must be some motive for the crime," argued the chauffeur.
It was very clean water running over the white marble slabs, and women, with pails and brushes, washing and wiping the floor. The man rather hesitated about leaving his auto in the streets; they had no chauffeur with them, tried to find a boy who would watch it.
The pretty limousine stood before the Hollisters' door and a well-groomed good-looking chauffeur was taken in and presented to Mrs. Hollister, his future mistress. Grandmother, in her handsome new cloak, and Aunt Susan with Mr. Casey, took the first ride. Mr. Casey was in high spirits over Nora's choice. "Shure they till me that he has a great future." "Of course he has," said Grandmother.
Two Chinamen, sedate, pig-tailed persons, were descending the steps. With them was Furneaux! One of the Orientals gave Theydon a rather sharp glance, having noticed, apparently, that he was conversing with the chauffeur, but Furneaux, after a stonily indifferent stare, said to the second Chinaman, in plain English: "Do you mind dropping me at Scotland Yard?"
