I'm sure the gumshoe when it comes to pipin' a man off so's I got his photograph in my eye. He was a little cuss an' dressed to kill, with gloves on, an' all that. He was skinny an' pale an' weak-eyed-lookin'." "That will do!" cut in Conniston, brusquely. "And now get your men going. We've got a day's work ahead of us."
