Madden, "all I can say is that if I hadn't seen with my own eyes what happened in that court to-day I wouldn't have believed it To think that the judge, of all men " "It was Flanagan's name and not my own," said Joyce, "that I signed at the bottom of the note.
Of course, they can imprison me for a time if I refuse to tell, but I would rather stay in gaol for a year than say aught that might set them upon the track of Captain Madden. It was not until the day he left me in Holland that I knew his name, for of course the men always called him captain, and so did I." "That is the only way I can see out of it, lad.
Sergeant Madden looked with pleasurable anticipation back to where the ship had come out of overdrive and lingered for twenty-four seconds. Willis had moved the squad ship from that position, but the sergeant had left a substitute. The small object he'd dropped from the ejector tube now swelled and writhed and struggled. In pure emptiness, a shape of metal foil inflated itself.
To them being a cop was still a matter of glamour rather than routine. They probably even regretted the absence of Huks. But when a man reached Sergeant Madden's age, glamour didn't matter. He had to remember that his job was worth doing, in itself. "Yeah," said Sergeant Madden. "There was quite a time with those Huks." "Did you ... did you ever see a Huk, sir?" asked Willis.
Madden heard the cook give a deferential cough and then say, "Yes, sor, Hi saw it, Mr. Madden, saw it quite plainly, sor."

"Where are you taking him?" demanded Madden suspiciously, again forcing his way to Sothern's elbow. "That's not the way . . ." "I'm taking him to his own home," said Sothern calmly.
"W'ot is it?" he whispered, still peering into the half-faces seen in the round hole. "Madden and Smith." "W'ot!" "Yes." "Great sharks! W'ot you lads doin' 'ere?" "Came off the tug what is this?" "W'ot is w'ot?" "This ship we're on?" It seemed as if Malone's little eyes would pop out of his head. "W'ot didn't they ketch you? You don't mean to say you you jest straggled aboard?" "Sure we did.
'You will really bring me the flowers? Everard said in a voice sensibly softened. 'I will make a note of it, was the reassuring answer. The sick girl whom Miss Barfoot had been to see was Monica Madden.
Good day, Myles, J. J. O'Molloy said, letting the pages he held slip limply back on the file. Is that Canada swindle case on today? The telephone whirred inside. Twentyeight... No, twenty... Double four... Yes. Lenehan came out of the inner office with SPORT'S tissues. Who wants a dead cert for the Gold cup? he asked. Sceptre with O. Madden up. He tossed the tissues on to the table.
These men had no doubt caught a hook in the anchor port and had climbed up without opposition. The invaders stood clearly limned by the searchlight, trying to pick out a target for their fire, when Madden reached for the coal pile.
