And then, luckily, I caught Father Grady, and I've asked him in to speak to them, and dissuade them from going off in a body. How did Miss Hale go home? I'm sure she could not walk. 'She had a cab. Everything was done properly, even to the paying.
The latter at once saw from the aspect of the two women what had occurred. "Grady, go and wait in the court," he said, "and if anybody comes you understand me." "Is it the play-actress and her mother?" said Grady. "Yes confound you say that there's nobody in chambers, and the party's off for to-day." "Shall I say that, sir? and after I bought them bokays?" asked Grady of his master.
In days of yore it had been a numerous family of wlodykas. During the war their cry was: "Grady!" On their shields, because they claimed to be better wlodykas than the others who had no right to a coat of arms, they had emblazoned a Tempa Podkowa. In 1331, in the battle of Plowce, seventy warriors from Bogdaniec were killed in the marshes by German archers. Only one Wojciech, called Tur, escaped.
"I shall be at the Hotel Astor, and shall be glad to see you shall we say at eleven o'clock? I am truly sorry that I can tell you nothing to-night."

"His large suavity enabled him to use his language in a way that pleased even his antagonists. Mr. Grady was emphatically combative, as shown by full development behind and between the ears, where the cast measures six inches in diameter, but it was the combativeness which showed itself in force and energy rather than contention.
We'll have a regular passenger elevator in here by and by, with an electric bell and sliding door, for the capitalist crowd that are going to own the place. But we workingmen get along all right on this. Swing off, boys." He waited for Grady down below.
James, as he followed them, nodded, and said, "Good night, Mr. Bannon." Then for the last time Bannon led Grady away. Peterson started forward, but the boss shook his head, and went out, marching the delegate between the lumber piles to the point where the path crossed the Belt Line tracks. "Now, Mr. Grady," he said, "this is where our ground stops.
"Thank you for putting me in mind that I'm mounted," said Grady; "I had almost forgotten it." "Make your minds easy," said Sergeant Barton. "You will have plenty of camel riding in a day or two, quite as much as you like perhaps." "And I hope it will be before I have worn-out my third pair of boots," said Macintosh. "Eh, but this is a grievous waste of shoe-leather."
Why, they'd tempt the angel Gabriel!" and he drew a deep breath. "Can we find a box of safe-deposit at this hour of the night?" asked M. Pigot, glancing at his watch. "It is almost one o'clock and a half." "That's easy in New York," said Grady. "We'll take 'em over to the Day and Night Bank on Fifth Avenue. It never closes.

The man's mind was apparently dazed, as if the accumulation of his troubles had been too much for him. He passed his hand across his forehead, striving to collect his thoughts and to find some way of facing this new and unexpected peril. "Say that again," he faltered. "I don't quite understand.
