Winifred was silent. After a time she asked: "Have you seen Mr. Steingall or Mr. Clancy lately?" "Yes, a couple of days ago. We are always more or less in communication. But I have nothing to report. They're keeping track of Voles and Mick the Wolf, but those are birds who don't like salt on their tails.
"Let me go!" she screamed. "I will not accompany you. I do not believe a word you say. If you touch me, I shall defend myself." "Spit-fire, eh?" she heard Voles say. There was something of a struggle. She never knew exactly what happened.
The jerk threw Voles heavily, and nearly, not quite, sprained his ankle. So, during a precious second or two, he lay almost stunned on the left side of the road. Carshaw, given a hint of disaster by the slightest fraction of time, and already braced low in the body of his car, was able to jump unobserved from the wreck.
It was neck or nothing now for Voles, and when these alternatives offered, he never hesitated as to which should be chosen. He knew he was in desperate case.
I called, you were out." "Was I?" "Were you? You said the money would be here waiting for me well, here I am now, I've got a cab outside ready to take it." "And suppose I don't give it to you?" asked Jones. "We won't suppose any nonsense like that!" replied Voles taking his seat, "not so long as there are policemen to be called at a minute's notice."
Now, however, the Voles, as these creatures ought rightly to be called, are thought to be of sufficient importance to be placed by themselves, and separated from the true beavers. The voles constitute quite a large group of rodents, including several animals which are popularly ranked among the mice. One very remarkable characteristic of the voles is the structure of their molar teeth.
Meiklejohn pleaded a sudden indisposition, yet lingered while a servant summoned Ronald Tower to play in his stead. Carshaw knew Winifred that same Winifred whom he and his secret intimates had sought so vainly during three long weeks! Voles and his arm-fractured henchman were recuperating in Boston, but Rachel Craik and Fowle were hunting New York high and low for sight of the girl.
If he was fortunate enough to find her in, and alone, he would take that first step in "dealing with" her son which he had spoken of to Voles. He made no prior appointment by phone. He meant catching her unawares, so that Rex could have no notion of his presence. Mrs.
Rachel had the key in her pocket. A trifle of that nature did not deter a man like Voles. With his shoulder he burst the lock, coming face to face with his partner in crime, who had grasped a poker in his serviceable hand. "Atta-boy!" he yelled. "Down-stairs, and floor 'em as they come. You've one sound arm. Go for 'em they can't lay a finger on you."
To the south-west, in the country situated between the Garonne, the eastern Pyrenees, the Cevennes, and the Rhone, two great tribes of Kymro-Belgians, the Bolg, Volg, Volk, or Voles, Arecomican and Tectosagian, came to settle, towards the end of the fourth century B. C., in the midst of the Iberian and Gallic peoplets; and there is nothing to show that the new comers lived worse with their neighbors than the latter had previously lived together.
