He saw he was under suspicion, and he winced, but pulled himself together in an instant. "I expected the question, sorr," he said, calmly, "and I have me answer ready. Thim segyars was shmoked, sorr." "Doubtless," said I, with an ill-suppressed sneer. "And by whom? Cats?" I added, with a contemptuous shrug of my shoulders.
