Rodney shouldn't be arrested. His rectitude is without a flaw. For heaven's sake, don't implicate him. He's " "Madam, I am not a policeman," said Odell-Carney with scathing dignity. "I want your husband to aid me in hushing this c'nfended thing." "He shan't do it! I won't permit him to be mixed up in it," almost screamed Mrs. Rodney. "I've just heard that he isn't a husband at all.
And there's no but about it. Mr. Mr. never mind what it is. I don't want to know your name. Mrs. Medcroft, will you permit me to send my wife up to you? Mr. Manager, I insist that you take this c'nfended rabble down to the office and tell them to go to the devil? Don't do it up here; do it down there."

'Pon me word, sir, they are the rottenest " "Carney!" came the sharp reminder from his wife.

Now, how the devil can Medcroft be in London and Innsbruck at the same time. He was here day before yesterday, wasn't he? I'm so c'nfended unobserving " "Yes, yes, he was here. And this paper " She paused irresolutely.
