The taller villain had a miniature in his hand, and the old man clung to his legs with a convulsive but impotent clasp; the other fellow had already his gripe upon Talbot's neck, and his right hand grasped a long case-knife. With a fierce and flashing eye, and a cheek deadly pale with internal and resolute excitement, Clarence confronted the robbers. "Thank Heaven," cried he, "I am not too late!"
"Well now, I never did, if that isn't no yes goodness me it is Miss Farnham!" Back ran the maiden to the kitchen, untying her apron as she went. She flung the case-knife upon the table, and began vigorously dusting the flour from her hands. "Where's my own bonnet? where's my shawl? I must be going aunt Hannah, now do guess who was in that are carriage."
But even if his testimony should be impugned, should break down, still we should have to account for the fact that the casket and the case-knife were found in your bureau; for, granting that a person could, in your absence, have entered your study and placed the articles in your bureau, it is clear that such a person must have been well acquainted with your house, and this stranger to L could not have possessed that knowledge."
"Cutts, come hither," cried he, imperiously. Cutts did not stir. "Throw me that cur this way you, who sit next him." "Don't, don't; his mad fit is on him; he will murder me murder me, who have helped and saved you all so often. Stand by me." "We will," said both his neighbours, the one groping for his case-knife, the other for his revolver.
"Mamma, this Dago waiter, he lived over on the avynoo, an' he took a case-knife he'd sharpened AN' HE CUT A LADY'S HEAD OFF WITH IT!" Mrs. Baxter screamed faintly. "An' he got hung, mamma! If you don't believe it, you can ask One-eye Beljus I guess HE knows! An' you can ask " "Hush!" "An' he sold this suit to One-eye Beljus when he was in jail, mamma. He sold it to him before he got hung, mamma."
"Now," Hiram leaned forward and wagged that authoritative finger directly under the other's case-knife nose, "what was it she done to you to make you get up this witch-story business about her? Here! Hold on!" he shouted, detecting further inclination on the part of Mr. Gammon to rail about his bedevilment. "You talk good Yankee common sense! Down to cases! What started this?
"All right I don't care where he comes out, so he COMES out; and Jim don't, either, I reckon. But there's one thing, anyway Jim's too old to be dug out with a case-knife. He won't last." "Yes he will LAST, too. You don't reckon it's going to take thirty-seven years to dig out through a DIRT foundation, do you?" "How long will it take, Tom?"
By and by he came down, smoking a cigarette, and was met by this woman flourishing her case-knife. He took it from her, after getting a cut in his dressing-gown, put it in his pocket, and went on with his cigarette. He keeps it with an inscription: "Donne a Alphonse Karr Par Madame Louise Colet.... Dans le dos. "Lively little female!
The old gentleman called for "William," a tall, consumptive servant, whose walk reminded me of a stubborn convict's, in the treadmill, and ordered him to scrape me, which was done, accordingly, with a case-knife.
In loosening the clothes another wound was discovered, but apparently of a less fatal nature; and in lifting the body, the broken blade of a long sharp instrument, like a case-knife, was discovered.
