There was a new blaze of determination in the direct look he held on Maggie. "You say you have never loved me?" he demanded. She shook her head. "But I've told you that I've always liked you." "Larry Brainard's doing what he has kept on doing for you that means that he loves you, doesn't it?" he pressed on. "He has told me so." "And you love him?"
You are frightfully thin " "I never was anything else." "Do you think this sort of thing is doing as much to make you well as Doctor Brainard's prescription of a voyage and stay in the South Seas?" "Much more." "You must be dreadfully lonely." He was sitting, Turk fashion, on the hearth-rug before her, his long legs crossed beneath him, his hands clasping his knees.
What's going to happen here is something that will show you the people Larry Brainard's been mixed up with that will turn up for you the people you want." "But what's going to happen?" Barlow demanded. To this Maggie answered in much the same strain she had used with Hannigan a few minutes earlier.
It is fully twenty-five years since Mrs. Locke began to turn her attention to fine cats, and when she imported her first cat to Chicago there was only one other in the United States. That one was Mrs. Edwin Brainard's Madam, a wonderful black, imported from Spain.
Dick Sherwood was supposed to be in love with her. At the end of this afternoon some officers came to the Sherwoods' and arrested Larry Brainard. I was working outside, overheard what was happening, and crept up on the porch. Officer Gavegan, who was in charge, found a painting among Larry Brainard's things.
Gavegan if that is your name you will please take those foolish things off Mr. Brainard's wrists." Gavegan had been cheated out of creating a sensation. That discomfiture perhaps made him even more dogged than he was by nature. "Sorry, Miss, but he's charged with having committed a crime and is a fugitive from justice, and I can't." "I'll be his security. Take them off."
"So am I. Now make your confession." "I sold the piano." "What?" There was an instant change in the expression of Brainard's face. "Your promise. Remember," said Anna, in a warning voice. "Sold the piano!" And he walked into the next room, Anna moving by his side. "Yes, I sold it to Mrs. Aiken for four hundred dollars. I had my old instrument brought over from father's.
"I'll get busy with the drag-net; we'll land Brainard this time," said Barlow. And then with a grim look at Barney: "But Larry Brainard's not what I got you up here to talk about, Palmer. I wanted to talk about two words to you and say 'em to you right between your eyes." "Go ahead, Chief." "First, you ain't been worth a damn to me for several months.
Miss Sherwood made no move to follow the officers into that more intimate apartment, and the other two watchers remained with her. A minute passed. Then Gavegan reentered, a puzzled, half-triumphant look on his red face, holding out a square of paint-covered canvas. "Found this thing in Brainard's chiffonier. What the he I mean what's it doing out here?"
Anyway, I had found out all I wanted, so I let him drop 'em in the office. I took the first train to Richmond and hung around Brainard's place for a day and a half, playing a little but watchin' the boss most of the time. The second day, your uncle came in, loaded for keeps. Him and Brainard went into a side room. When they came out later on, I was standin' close by.
