For within eighteen months of his landing in London docks, Aaron, through his rapid mastery of English and ciphering at the evening classes for Hebrew adults, had found a post as book-keeper to a clothes-store in Ratcliff Highway. But he soon discovered that he was expected to fake the invoices, especially when drunken sailors came to rig themselves up in mufti.
We can get them going hard enough to make them think they are for awhile, but after they've thrown away their crutches and got back home what then?" "Well, what then?" inquired Doc Madison easily. "They'll yell 'fake! and swear out warrants," said Helena, her dark eyes studying Doc Madison. "Not according to statistics," replied Doc Madison, and his lips twitched quizzically at the corners.
I figured that the story of Joe the injured brakeman must be false. If he had an eighty-five-dollar watch he could borrow forty on it. Why should his "friend" have sold it outright for twenty-five? The fakery of it was plain to any one who stopped to think. Who then would be fool enough to pay twenty-five dollars for a fake watch at a side auction? Not I. I was too wise.
It was the first time he had been browbeaten like this, but he kept his nerve. If he had only known it, Sullivan was not the first politician to threaten to annihilate a paper, nor was it Sullivan's initial attempt to scare reporters into doing what he wanted. As Larry left the headquarters he met Peter Manton going in. "Making up another fake interview with Sullivan?" asked Peter, with a sneer.
And she went into the house. He looked after her, in admiration of the sweet and pure calm of this quiet rebuke. She tried to take the same exalted view of it herself, but she could not fool herself just then with the familiar "good woman" fake. She knew that she had struck the flag of self-respect.
They've found out my German accent was a fake, they've discovered the parachute and know I neither landed from a British cruiser nor a German submarine, and now they know that I lied about that coat. "And what is my own score? By Gad, I don't honestly think I've made a single run!
I knew nothing of it until Peter, one Sunday afternoon when we were off for a walk a year or two after he had arrived in Newark, suddenly announced apropos of nothing at all, "Dreiser, I've just hit upon a great idea which I am working out with some of the boys down on our paper. It's a dusty old fake, but it will do as well as any other, better than if it were a really decent idea.
At ten o'clock the sergeant joined Don Luis in Hippolyte Fauville's workroom. Deputy Chief Detective Weber and two plain-clothesmen were with him. Don Luis took Mazeroux aside: "They distrust me. Own up to it." "No. As long as M. Desmalions is there, they can do nothing against you. Only, M. Weber maintains and he is not the only one that you fake up all these occurrences yourself."
These few bones are no doubt from a modern ape and modern man. The Heidelberg Jaw was also found in the sand, and is guessed to be 700,000 years old. It is hard to be respectful while they gravely tell such stories. But the next is even worse: The Piltdown man, alias the Piltdown fake, fabricated out of a few bones of a man and a few of an ape.
"I don't want to stay here," chattered Larry. "I never try to fool people with fake courage when I know that running is my one best course to pursue." "Is there a lunatic asylum in this part of the country?" asked Baker. "Can it be possible that any of the inmates have escaped." Billy Gordon shook his head. "Nothing as easy as that," he sighed. "Great Scott! There it goes again!" breathed Larry.
