The list was headed with the simple dedication in the full, round hand which Burke recognized as that of Captain Sawyer: "To the Prince of all the Rookies and his Princess, from his brother cops.

"Where is that hat?" she asked, so naturally that the woman began to think nothing was wrong after all. Settimia turned to cross the room, in order to get the hat in question from a pasteboard bandbox that stood on the floor. Regina followed her, and stood beside her as she bent down.
His first care was to draw down the blind, for Mr. Rolles still remained where they had left him, in an attitude of perplexity and thought. Then he emptied the broken bandbox on the table, and stood before the treasure, thus fully displayed, with an expression of rapturous greed, and rubbing his hands upon his thighs.
He has been pursuing me all day, carries a sword-stick, and is an Indian military officer." "These are fine manners," cried the maid. "And what, if you please, may be his name?"
