'You can believe it or not, it's all the same to me, but I myself saw them being driven to the police-station. 'Ah well! What harm can they do to me, because Maciek has been frozen? 'Perhaps men can't do you harm, but, man, before God! or don't you believe in God? the Jew asked from the other side of the door, his burning eyes fixed on Slimak.
From Turc mountain, on the other hand, you see the lake at your feet all its islets, curls, cascades are within ken, entrancing your senses. Standing on that green hill, it is impossible to divest the mind of the idea, that the scene is one of pure enchantment. But we were destined not to realise it. There was a police-station immediately on our way.
"I say!" exclaimed Lauriston. "Is this true? this about the Chinese chap? Is it what they think at your police-station? connected with the other affairs? We've been waiting, hoping you'd come in!" "Ah!" said Ayscough, dropping into a chair. "We've been pretty busy, me and Mr. Rubinstein there we've had what you might call a pretty full evening's work of it.
Information given by the landlord of one of these houses led to his arrest. He was found lying on the stone floor, with empty bottles about him, also a quantity of gold and silver coins, which appeared to have rolled out of his pocket. He was carried to the police-station in an insensible state, but on being taken to the cell, came to himself, and exhibited symptoms of delirium tremens.
"Drillford, of your nearest police-station, had this case in charge," he remarked. "I'll just call him on the telephone." He left the room and was away for several minutes; when he returned there was something like a smile on his face. "If you and Miss Wickham will drive along and see Drillford, Mr. Viner," he said. "I think you'll find he's some news for you."
Coates, an elderly man who was the leading practitioner in the town, arrived, and to him he gave a careful account of his discovery. And after the police had taken the body away, and he had accompanied Mitchington to the police-station and seen the tin bottle and the remains of Collishaw's dinner safely locked up, he went home to lunch, and to wonder at this strange development.
So of course Martha couldn't see the gold, and so was only speaking the truth, and that was quite right, of course, but not extra noble. It was getting dusk when they reached the police-station. The policeman told his tale to an inspector, who sat in a large bare room with a thing like a clumsy nursery-fender at one end to put prisoners in. Robert wondered whether it was a cell or a dock.
I've seen you with him. I'm Mr. Triffitt, of the Argus I happened to call in at the police-station just now, and they told me of what had happened here, so I rushed along. Will you tell me all about it, Mr. Selwood? it'll be a real scoop for me I'll hustle down to the office with it at once, and we'll have a special out in no time. And whether you know it or not, that'll help the police.
"Where would pore Sam get a gold watch and chain from? And why should 'e go to you about it? Why didn't 'e come to me? If 'e thinks I 'ave got it let 'im come to me." "All right, I'll go to the police-station," ses Joe. "I'll come with you," I ses. "But 'ere's a policeman coming along. Let's go to 'im."
Now at last he knew that he knew nothing; for only now did he realize it. To what was going on outside his ears had been stopped with official lies; morally, intellectually, and physically he was a prisoner, just as much as when, to the cry of "Old Goggles," from a jeering crowd, he had marched captive to the police-station.
