The secret-service man pushed his prisoners into chairs and left the bedroom. Kitty did not care how gruff the voice was; it was decidedly pleasant in her ears. Gingerly she picked up one of the revolvers. Kitty Conover with shooting irons in her hands, like a movie actress! She heard a whistle. After this an interval of silence, save for the ticking of the alarm clock on the stand.
Besides, the name has got the idea of pro-pulsion. See? Pro-Pellets, pro-pel!" His big fist shot forward like a piston-rod. "Just the idea for a laxative. Eh?" "Fine!" agreed Conover, a little ruefully, but with genuine appreciation of the fitness of the name. "I wish I'd thought of it." "You did pretty near. Anyway, you made me think of it. Anti-Pellets, Pro-Pellets: it's just one step.
Neither of us can start off to London at a moment's notice." Peggy replied with a wan smile: "But, dearest mother, you forget. I'm an old, old married woman." "Besides, my dear," said the Dean, "Peggy has often gone away by herself." "But never to London," said Mrs. Conover. "Anyhow, I've got to go." Peggy turned to the old butler. "Ring up Sturrocks's and tell them I'm coming."
Did one stagger and have to lie down, with a pulse coursing up to one hundred and five? What was it? When Tom first looked at Nancy in the costume closet he wondered if he were to be brought face to face with the answer. Certainly, little hints by the Norrises and Old Mrs. Conover would have put the idea into his head, had it not in the natural course of events found its way there unaided.
In his heart he knew quite well that the small inhabitant of the big soup tureen would remain at Ingleside, but he meant to see if Rilla could not be induced to rise to the occasion. Rilla sat looking blankly at the baby. It was absurd to think she could take care of it. But that poor little, frail, dead mother who had worried about it that dreadful old Meg Conover.
He telephoned the restaurant and was advised that Miss Conover had reserved a table. He had forgotten to send down the operative who guarded Kitty at that end. But the distance from the office to the Subway was so insignificant! "You are looking fit," he said across the table. "Ought to be off your hands by Monday. But what about Stefani Gregor? I can't stir, leaving him hanging on a peg."
Young Gower rose. "I must decline to have anything further to say to you, sir," said he. "You will leave this office, and you will not be admitted here again unless you come with proper papers as administrator." Conover smiled with cold satisfaction and departed.
He had been quite willing in the Institute days to be an admirer of Phil Khamis, and to forget that Phil was of alien birth; but this was something more complicated. "Particulars are not so simple," Conover said. "But, for instance: some European peoples have a fine musical appreciation. Some delight in oratory. Some are mystical and dreamy. Some are very children in their love of color.
The wretched Tommy has but one suit to his name. That's why, sir, I've taken the liberty of appearing before you in outgrown mufti." "All right, my man," said Oliver. "We'll hush it up and say no more about it." Then the Dean and Mrs. Conover entered and soon they went in to dinner. It was for Doggie the most pleasant of meals.
But that's the long and short of it." "But who will look after it until it can be taken to the asylum?" persisted Rilla. Somehow the baby's fate worried her. "S'pose I'll have to," grunted Mrs. Conover. She put away her pipe and took an unblushing swig from a black bottle she produced from a shelf near her. "It's my opinion the kid won't live long. It's sickly.
