To what one of those minds, now, would it occur that he should take away that money bodily, under casual cover of his coat, to his own lodgings behind the cobbler-shop of Boaz Negro? For this one, this important night! He was sorry the coin-sack had slipped, because he did not like to have the responsibility of secret sharer cast upon any one, even upon Boaz, even by accident.
The crowd's habit is to forget a thing quickly, once it is out of sight and hearing. But there had been something about that solitary cry which continued to bother them, even in memory. Where had it been? Where had it come from? And those who had stood nearest the cobbler-shop were heard again. They were certain now, dead certain. They could swear! In the end they broke down the door.
Even with an unconscious dilation of the pupils of their eyes. "What was that?" There had been a scream. There could be no doubt of that. A single, long-drawn note. Immensely high-pitched. Not as if it were human. "God's sake! What was that? Where'd it come from?" Those nearest said it came from the cobbler-shop of Boaz Negro. They went and tried the door.
