After a while Bruff would utter a remonstrant growl, for Jack would set to work trying to solve the problem why the dog's curly coat would not lie down smooth and straight; and in his efforts to produce that smoothness that he was accustomed to see upon his own skin, he sometimes tugged vigorously enough to cause pain. Mark was watching the pair one day, when Billy Widgeon came up.
As he spoke he went to take the umbrella from the corner, when, looking upon the movement as an attempt to carry out a robbery, Bruff uttered another savage growl aid struggled to get free. "All, would yer!" cried Billy Widgeon, snatching up his umbrella and holding it by the toe in cudgel-fashion. "Now, then, youngster, lot him go. Come on, you ugly big-headed lubber. I'm ready for you now."
Bruff made no secret of his reasons for wishing that I should accompany him to London by the morning train. Mrs. Merridew proved to be all pliability and indulgence, after the truly considerate manner in which the explosion had conducted itself; and Betteredge was accordingly informed that we were all four to travel back together by the morning train.
"The test, in my case," rejoined Mr. Bruff, "is still in process of trial. For the last two days I have had a watch set for Mr. Luker at the bank; and I shall cause that watch to be continued until the last day of the month.
Rachel advanced a step nearer, and looked at me very strangely. "I don't understand your reference to my mother," she said. "Miss Clack, will you have the goodness to explain yourself?" Before I could answer, Mr. Bruff came forward, and offering his arm to Rachel, tried to lead her out of the room. "You had better not pursue the subject, my dear," he said.
Bruff, in such a situation as mine. My existence will be simply unendurable to me, unless I do something towards clearing my character at once." "Well, well, I understand that. Have you thought yet of what you can do?" "I have thought of consulting Sergeant Cuff." "He has retired from the police. It's useless to expect the Sergeant to help you." "I know where to find him; and I can but try."
Another, dated a week on, for the remaining balance seventeen hundred pounds. How the Moonstone was trusted to the keeping of Mr Luker's bankers, and how the Indians treated Mr. Luker and Mr. The next event in your cousin's life refers again to Miss Verinder. One of his reasons for making this concession has been penetrated by Mr. Bruff.
"The human heart is unsearchable," I said gently. "Who is to fathom it?" "In other words, ma'am though he hadn't the shadow of a reason for taking the Diamond he might have taken it, nevertheless, through natural depravity. Very well. Say he did. Why the devil " "I beg your pardon, Mr. Bruff. If I hear the devil referred to in that manner, I must leave the room."
Leekins's story was soon told. Crewne had suddenly gone to the city, first purchasing the cottage which Deacon Twinkham had built several years before for a son who had never come back from sea. Crewne had hired old Mrs. Bruff to put the cottage to rights, and to arrange the carpets and furniture, which he was to forward immediately. But who was to be mistress of the cottage Mrs.
"He was not suffocating, as you can see. It was sheer fright, I think. He'll come round in a few minutes out here in the fresh air." The second-mate held down the light, and as Mark, for whom room had been made, gazed down in the ghastly face of the shabby-looking man, Bruff pushed his head forward and sniffed at him. "Yes, that's him, old fellow," said the mate patting his head.
