I've seen that done over and over again. They're starving a baby on bread and water now just over from my room, and it cries and frets and moans all the time it's awake, poor little wretch! I've been in hopes for a week that they'd give it an overdose of paregoric or something else." "We must fix it to-night in some way," answered Pinky. "Where's the room you spoke of?"

"I take it they are in the safe in his bedroom," replied the detective, "and that is locked all right. I think he must have taken an overdose of something and had illusions. "Quite right," said Smith rapidly. His eyes shone like steel. "Lay him on the bed, Inspector." It was done, and my friend walked into the bedroom.

For too much intellect is often a drug which deadens the consciousness of a woman's heart.
And therefore I told him that if he insisted upon running away, he might as well tramp with me and think it over. "I don't quite know yet why I said it.
