"Maybe not, but you might find things in a chap's pocket which is better." With a flourish he produced a hypodermic syringe, the duplicate of the one I had appropriated, and a tiny bottle. "The man's a dope," he added. "I knew that," replied Kennedy. "I examined his arm, where he usually took his shots, and found no fresh mark of the needle." "That doesn't prove anything.
"The old chap's nothing to do, you know, and since he took up his abode here he's been spending all his time digging up local records he's a good bit of an antiquary, and that sort of thing. The Town Clerk tells me Kitely's been through nearly all the old town documents chests full of them!
What he was saying might be over the heads of some of them but not this chap's. He got you as the Americans say. He had the vision, would go wherever the speaker could take him. One saw that. Afterwards the boy had sought out the recruiter to ask if by any chance he knew a girl named Elinor Ruth Farringdon. It had been rather a tremendous moment for both of them.
"The old chap's taken Meeking's job out of his hands. Good thing this is a coroner's court if a judge said as much as Seagrave's saying to an assize jury, Gad! Wellesley would hang! Look at these jurymen! They're half dead-certain that Wellesley's guilty already!" "Well?" muttered Brent. "I'm not so far off that stage myself. Why didn't he speak out, and be done with it.
Don't see how you can do without it? Why, sir, I'd been homesick without my pipe. It's company, I tell you, when a chap's alone and got no one to speak to." "I take it, Mr. Holden, you are not here for your health?" "No, I should say not; I'm tough as a hickory nut. When I drop off it's more likely to be an Indian bullet than any disease.
If this chap's not an imposter and there's no earthly reason to suppose he is, though I've never heard my father say a word about him we shall have to split the money. Aunt Emily's will left the money to my father, or, failing him, his 'offspring. I thought that meant me, but apparently there are a crowd of us.
Don Luis sprang from his seat, radiant with delight. "What do you mean? Out with it! You know who it is?" "The chap's an indoor servant employed at a nursing-home in the Avenue des Ternes." "Let's go there. We've no time to lose." "Splendid, Chief! You're yourself again." "Well, of course!
"Sorry," he said. "Probably meant it as a surprize to you. Yes, he's here, with bells on." He then put the letter in his pocket before my very eyes, and sat down on the corner of the writing table! "You don't know how all this has releived my mind," he said. "The poor chap's been looking down. Not interested in anything. Of course this explains it. He' s the sort to take Love hard.
They had spoken of Rosamund, perhaps more intimately than they had ever spoken before, and Dion had said, "I'm bothering so much about Robin partly because her life is bound up with Robin's." "Several lives are bound up with that little chap's," Bruce Evelin had said. And a sudden sense of loneliness had come upon Dion.
"Far better leave him alone, Breton," he said in a low voice. "Don't you see the old chap's done up? They're both done up. We don't know what they've gone through with this fellow before we came, and it's certain they've had no sleep. Leave it all till later after all, we've found them and we've found him."
