"Well, my dear sir," said Sigsbee, laying his hand upon Bingle's knee and speaking with grave impressiveness, "your late and lamented uncle, Joseph Hooper, in his will, devises that you are his principal I might almost say, his sole heir. He has left practically everything to you, sir. I I pray you, be calm. Do not allow this astonishing, this prodigious " "Oh," exclaimed Mr.
It might have something in it that would put you off your stroke. Wait till the end of the game. 'Give it to me. I want to see it. Sigsbee was firm. 'No, he said. 'I'm here to see you win this championship and I won't have you taking any risks. Besides, even if it was important, a few minutes won't make any difference. 'Well, at any rate, open it and read it.
On that occasion it was my duty, as representing a newspaper, to make an independent investigation of the circumstances of the death of the late Sigsbee Manderson. I did so, and I arrived at certain conclusions. You may learn from the enclosed manuscript, which was originally written as a despatch for my newspaper, what those conclusions were.
Ted Guthrie did gurgle a bit, and Velma Sigsbee threw a handful of leaves in Nettie Brocton's hair, but the pause was a riot. Why should Jane deceive them? Cross from delay in the busy office indeed, as if she would not have bolted out and left the whole room to the nervous new students!

Gossett lowered his driver, and wheeled round, but Sigsbee had snatched the envelope from the boy's hand. 'It's all right, old man, he said. 'Go right ahead. I'll keep it safe for you. 'Give it to me, said Gossett anxiously. 'It may be from the office. Something may have happened to the market. I may be needed. 'No, no, said Sigsbee, soothingly. 'Don't you worry about it. Better not open it.
If the Little Brass God fails to disclose the last will, the property will go to a young man who was intensely hated and despised by the man who built up the fortune. Simon Tupper will turn over in his grave if Howard Sigsbee, his nephew, has the handling of that money." "I can't see how that's going to get Simon anything!" grinned Tommy.
Besides Captain Sigsbee and Father Chidwick, who was chaplain of the Maine at the time she was blown up, three others who lived through that awful night were present.
