The opening of a door, any untoward noise, the ringing of the telephone, caused most of them to jump and look about apprehensively. In sheer bravado, they, one at a time, went out of the house either to walk about the rough ground, or to go to Lentone. A visit to the police station there bore no fruit. Brasher was red-eyed, haggard and in a vicious humor.
Brasher lifted the receiver from the hook. After an interval the connection was made. Boyle watched him anxiously while he was asking the unseen person at the other end of the wire some questions. Brasher hung up the receiver. He turned to Boyle: "Yeah, they say you was there and left with a stranger about eight o'clock that night. They never saw this bird before.
Brasher, the rope prior to its use around the chimney of Miller's Folly was for a considerable time at a farm or farmyard, where you will find the following: "A boxwood hedge, of the species B. sempervirens, the common box. "One or more pear trees. "You will find these shrubs," handing him a list. "On that farm there are two horses, a bay and sorrel. "There is a black and white cow.
Brasher did not hear the end. He was racing around the side of the building. In a short time they saw his figure on the edge of the roof clinging to the chimney. Then he crawled to the edge and leaning far forward, he gazed intently at something that the men below could not see. Brasher looked down and nodded his head so violently that he nearly threw himself from the roof.
Before Brasher or I had a notion of what it was he intended to do he covered it with a heavy marble paper weight. Then he stood upon the weight, and between the marble and the hearth he ground the creature flat. While the execution was still proceeding, Bob sat up upon the floor. "Hollo!" he asked, "what's happened?" "We've emptied the bottle, Bob," said Tress.
During this process of lighting the pipe we had sat I do not wish to use exaggerated language, but we had sat and watched that alcoholic scamp's proceedings as though we were witnessing an action which would leave its mark upon the age. When we saw the pipe was lighted we gave a simultaneous start. Brasher put his hands under his coat tails and gave a kind of hop.
"There are some leghorn chickens. "There is a collie dog." McCall, Jimmy and Brasher were startled. They stared at the old man in disbelief. McCall said: "Oh, I say, Professor, see here " He stopped. He saw Matthews grin and wink at Jimmy. Professor Brierly was oblivious to the interruption.
His voice was soft and quietly modulated. His diction was that of a fairly well educated man. Professor Brierly nodded curtly. Brasher pointed to a chair and said: "To save time, Boyle, I suppose you'll admit that you're 'Chicago' Boyle, alias 'Lefty' Harris, alias " Boyle nodded indifferently. "Oh, yes, I'm Boyle all right, what of it?
Boyle was a well dressed man in the middle thirties. He was strongly and compactly built. He scrutinized carefully each of the men who faced him. He jauntily asked for a cigarette, which Brasher supplied him. He did not take his eyes from Professor Brierly while he was lighting the white tube. After blowing a series of small smoke rings, he asked: "You're Professor Brierly, aren't you?"
"What is there difficult about that? That should be simple. Surely there are not a great many farms or farmyards that comply with all the conditions I enumerated. Surely that should be merely detail, just the work the police ought to be able to do. Ex-Police Commissioner McGuire thinks that too." He waved his hands with a gesture of finality and Brasher knew that he was dismissed.
