"It was about ten o'clock, about half an hour before the cops finds Torrance there." "And then you went upstairs and found Mr. Compton dead?" "Yes, sir." "You say this man that came downstairs stopped and lighted a cigarette before he left the building. Did you see his face?" "Yes, I did." "Would you recognize him if you saw him again?" "Sure."
"You say Claire's alone at the store with her father?" "And a couple of store cops, sterling characters with the hearts of lions and the brains of goldfish," Cardon replied. "And Russ Latterman, and maybe four or five Conservative goons he's managed to infiltrate into the store." Prestonby was still thinking, aloud, now. "Maybe they did mean to kill Pelton; in that case, they'll try again.
While the Big Chief was having a medal presented to him inside the hall we managed to scuttle round underneath the grand stand and take up a pencil of vantage just below the little pulpit where the general was to speak. Here the crowd groaned against a bulwark of stout policemen. Philadelphia cops, bless them, are the best tempered in the world. John is a small, freckle-faced urchin.
There being no longer any armies or navies when the Huks were discovered, the matter of intelligent nonhumans was a matter for the cops. So the police matter-of-factly tried to incorporate the Huk culture into the human. They explained the rules by which human civilization worked. They painstakingly tried to arrange a sub-precinct station on the largest Huk home planet, with Huk cops in charge.
He kicked like a mule, of course, but I made it an order." "What of the local police?" said Carshaw. "Nix on the cops," laughed the chief. "You share the popular delusion that a policeman can arrest any one at sight. He can do nothing of the sort, unless he and his superior officers care to face a whacking demand for damages. And what charge can we bring against Voles and company?
As Red was a mighty man in Gideon, so his taking off was an event of moment, and he was waked with an elegance unsurpassed in the annals of Cherry Hill. "An' if ye don't put the son-of-a who kilt me b'y in th' chair, ye name's mud see?" the elder McGurk had informed District Attorney Peckham the next morning. "I've told the cops who done it. Now you do the rest understand?"
So Bud hands me his 'lectric torch, an' we skin over th' fence an' up to th' house an' Heine has th' winder open in a jiffy, an' me bein' half-soused an' foolish hikes inter th' room, an' you cops me on th' jump an' an' that's all!" "And M'Ginnis has threatened to send you up for it now and then, eh?" "Only for a joke. Bud ain't like me; he'd never split on a pal Bud wouldn't gimme away "
Unless Nelsen wanted to kill him, there wasn't any more to do. Partial revenge. He wasn't worried about anybody except the guy's Jolly Lad henchmen. There was nobody close by. Now he did a quick fade, sure that nobody had seen who he was, during the entire episode. No use to call the cops there were too many uncertainties about the setup in wild, polyglot Pallastown.
It is seen also about the native huts, and, so far as I could learn, it was the American cotton, so influenced by climate as to be perennial. We met in the road natives passing with bundles of cops, or spindles full of cotton thread, and these they were carrying to other parts to be woven into cloth. The women are the spinners, and the men perform the weaving.
They made it clear that they had nothing to do with politics and were simply concerned with protecting civilized people from those in their midst who didn't want to be civilized. The Huks wouldn't have it. They bristled, proudly. They were defiant. They considered themselves not only as good as humans the cops didn't care what they thought but they insisted on acting as if they were better.
