The Beadle was the blankest Beadle I have ever looked on when I answered to my name; and his discomfiture gave me courage to go through with it. We were impanelled to inquire concerning the death of a very little mite of a child. It was the old miserable story.
His presence at the New Theatre on that night, which was to become for him a very memorable one, was purely a matter of chance and good nature. The greatest of London dailies had decided to grant a passing notice to the extraordinary series of plays, which in flightier journals had provoked something between the blankest wonderment and the most boisterous ridicule.
"Do you think I would not know. See! I put it in this pocket, which now is empty." He thrust his hand into the pocket which he had indicated. Suddenly his expression changed to astonishment. "Find it?" grinned the starter. With the blankest of looks Alcatrante pulled the purse from his pocket. "It was not there two minutes ago," he muttered.
The blankest of blank stupid wonder looked out from her eyes over the old-fashioned, gold-rimmed spectacles. "I hope you won't think I am intruding," said the person at the door, "but being quite at home in the house, and having received no answer when I announced myself, I thought I might admit myself here as usual."
He fell back a step as the door opened. "A person to see you, sir; from Saaron!" announced Archelaus. "Shall I show her in?" Before either could answer, Vashti herself stood on the threshold. Of the two men, the Lieutenant excusably showed the blankest astonishment. But the Commandant had to catch at the rail of a chair.
I put down the teacup and stared at her in the blankest amazement. "Dr. McMurtrie!" I repeated incredulously. She nodded. "Listen, and I'll tell you exactly how it all happened. I dined with George, as you know, at the Savoy on Friday, and we went into the whole business of my going away with him. He has got that twelve thousand pounds, Neil; there's no doubt about it.
