Your District Messenger Service will tell you that nine-tenths of its calls are from women." "You have read Edgar Allan Poe, I take it," observed Richard, smiling over the processes of Inspector Val. "I've read Poe, Gaboriau, and Conan Doyle," returned Inspector Val; "all detectives have. They are amusing if not instructive.
Eventually R.C. and Romer and I arrived in Los Angeles to find all well with our people, which fact was indeed something to rejoice over. Hardly had this 1918 trip ended before I began to plan for that of 1919. But I did not realize how much in earnest I was until I received word that both Lee Doyle in Flagstaff and Nielsen in San Pedro were very ill with influenza.
There's one o' them aroun' the corner, an' they say she told Minnie Doyle the name o' the man she was to marry. An' he married her, at that!" Mrs. Cregan looked blank. Mrs. Byrne leaned forward to her. "I never whispered it to a livin' soul but yerself but it was her told Mrs. Gunn that her last was to be a boy. A good month ahead!
I only hope there are not many more in the neighbourhood, or we shall find it unpleasant." When Doyle and the boys came near, they would scarcely credit what had occurred, till they had seen the body of the serpent with its head cut off. Before again setting to work, we hunted about in all directions to ascertain that there were no more serpents of the same description near at hand.
How could I possibly have been upsetting lamps in Doyle's hotel when I was sitting in your house talking to you? Don't lose your head, Major." "Sabina told me after," said Doyle, "that it was by your orders she did it." "That's more like the truth," said Meldon. "If she'd confined herself to that statement when she was talking to the judge, I shouldn't have complained.
Doyle opened one in the southwest corner of the house, where, the sun having beaten on the sloping roof all the afternoon, the temperature was something fearful. The room was small, for Mr. Mountjoy had built the boarding-houses, and desired to try the experiment of each inmate having a separate room instead of a great many men or women being herded together in open dormitories.
I suppose you could do us really well, Doyle, at 7s. 6d. a head, including drinks, and there'll have to be three or four bottles of champagne on the sideboard, just for the look of the thing. We may not have to open more than one. Eleven times 7s. 6d. makes £4 2s. 6d. What do you mean to charge us for the printing of the posters, Gallagher?"
"Twenty-five per pent, is the amount agreed on. It isn't everyone I'd tell, but I've confidence in you, doctor." "And if we get £500 for the pier?" "A middling good pier," said Doyle, "as good a pier as anyone'd have a right to expect in a place like this, might be built for £300." "That'll put £120 into your pocket, Doyle, not counting anything you may make on the luncheons!"
There isn't a thing goes wrong in the country but they're ready to torment the life out of whoever might be responsible for the man that did it." "Very well," said Dr. O'Grady. "Now do we want a pier?" "We want the money," said Doyle. "I don't know," said Father McCormack, "could we get the money without we'd build a pier when we'd got it." "My point is," said Dr.
I'll tell Doyle to sprinkle some chloride of lime in your bedroom, and to damp the sheets with Condy's Fluid. I don't suppose it will be much use, but it's the best we can do if your mind is made up." Meldon left the hotel and mounted his bicycle without speaking another word.
