I needn't have bothered you like this I came rushing round here without thinking, and if the house had been a bit farther off I should have come to my senses before I reached you. After all, there's nothing so much to disturb one's-self about, and this man this Denson may very well have deserved his fate. Don't you think that likely?
It made old Denson open his eyes." "So it did," continued Allingford; "and if it hadn't come out, the whole school would have got into another precious row, and there'd have been a stop put to the Wraxby match. I tell you what.
He had been angry with the Little Doctor for coming, but it was nothing to the rage he felt when she turned back! He did not own to himself that he wanted her beside him to taunt and to hurt with his rudeness, but it was a fact, for all that. And it was a very surly young man who rode into the Denson corral and threw a loop over the head of the runaway.
Denson always says," continued the speaker, without waiting for any reply to his numerous questions. "You'll have to go and see him after tea. My name's Carton; what's yours?" The three comrades introduced themselves. "What bedroom are you in?" "Number 16." "Then you're in the same one as I and young Hart. Come for a stroll, and I'll show you round the place."
But note, now. Observe the sequence of things as we know them now. First, there is Denson in his office; I can find nothing of any American visitor, and I am convinced that he is a total fiction, either of Denson's or Samuel and Denson together. Denson is in his office. To him comes Samuel. Neither leaves the place till Samuel comes down at a quarter-past one o'clock.
So you took your diamonds away the first time, last week. What next?" "Well, I came again, just the same, to-day, by appointment. Just the same I sat in that place, and just the same Denson took the case into the inner room. 'He's come to buy this time, I can see, Denson whispers, and winks. 'But he'll fight hard over the price. We'll see! and off he goes into the other room. Well, I waited.
In the first place, am I right in supposing that you were in some way professionally engaged in connection with that extraordinary case of murder a week or so ago the case in which a man named Denson was found dead on the steps by the Duke of York's column?" "Yes and no," Hewitt answered.
And I had done pishness with him alretty." "Well?" "You see I wait downstairs with my case this case till Denson sends down. He doesn't want me to show fery natural, you see, in pishness. When I sell to make a profit, perhaps for somebody else, I don't want that somebody to know my customer, else he sells direct and I lose my profit fery natural. See?" "Of course, I understand.
I haf been robbed robbed by Denson himself, wit'out a wort of doubt. It is terrible terrible! Fifteen t'ousant pounds! It ruins me, Mr. Hewitt, ruins me! Unless you can recover it! If you recover it, I will pay pay oh, I will pay fery well indeed!" There was a characteristically sudden moderation of the client's emphasis when he came to the engagement to pay.
So I go away, and afterwards Denson tells me that the American liked much the stones but wouldn't quite come up to price. That, of course, is fery usual pishness. 'But he will rise, Samuel, Denson says. 'I know him quite well, and them tiamonts is as good as sold with a good profit for me; and a good one for you, too, I bet, he says.
