Save for a few tons of freight at which Big George's men were working, it was as unobstructed as a lawn; and, although it was nearly the size of a city block, it afforded no more means of concealment than did the little office itself, with its glass doors, its counter, and its long desk, at the farther end of which a bill-clerk was poring over his task.
I'll stall for you. When they grab me, take it on the run. Understand!" "That won't do. Everybody knows me." Boyd cast an apprehensive glance at the arched back of the bill-clerk, but Fraser, quick of resource in such a situation, forced him swiftly to make the change, saying: "Nix. It's your only 'out. Stand here, see!" He indicated a position beside the rear door.
Oh yes you'll find George on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street, right next to the grocery. He's bill-clerk in a saddle-and-harness store. That's about how innocent and beautiful she is.

I'm not even the ghost of a Forester yet." "You will meet the real article to-night. As I told you, the District Foresters are East for a conference, and this lecture is given before the Forestry Association.
The glass door swung open noiselessly under his hand, and he stepped out just as the bill-clerk looked up from his work, staring out through the other entrance. "Fingerless" Fraser's voice was louder now, as if for a signal. "Arrest me? What do you mean? Get out of my way." "You'd better come peaceably." Boyd heard a sharp exclamation "Get him, Bill!" And then the sound of men struggling.
