Through the offside window Cranbourne caught a glimpse of the man in charge of the dray horses a powerful person, high perched, his weight thrown bask against the tightened reins his face purple with effort. From his mouth came an admirable flow of oaths, choicely adjusted to suit the occasion. Then Cranbourne saw something else.
Torrington continued playing his patience game until Cranbourne was announced. And if you are interested to know what manner of man Cranbourne might be then turn to the description of the diner at the table near the door in the Berkeley Café. As to his associations with these other gentlemen it remains only to be said that he was a supplier of ideas and occasionally of ideals.
Ellis Gamble, at the sign of the "Golden Angel," Cranbourne Alley, Leicester Fields. Engraving on silver plate was all well enough, but Hogarth aspired to become an engraver on copper, and he has said that this was about the highest ambition he had while he was in Cranbourne Alley. The shop-card which he engraved for Mr. Ellis Gamble may have been the first significant piece of work he undertook.
And then it was that Cranbourne who, curled up in the window seat with his chin resting on his knees, had taken no part in the debate, made his first observation. "If Barraclough is to succeed it will have to be in the next three days. At midnight on the 27th he is going to be kidnapped." All eyes turned upon Cranbourne as he made this announcement.
They crossed Oxford Street, and passing down Charing Cross Road stopped at a small foreign restaurant in a narrow lane off Cranbourne Street. Willis's taxi repeated its previous maneuver, and halted opposite a shop from where the inspector could see the other vehicle through the backlight.
He trod hard on the accelerator and somewhere behind a machine gun opened fire, at first articulately and then, as the pace increased, becoming an inarticulate solid roar. The beat of the engine, the sense of speed and the rush of the wind past his ears infected Cranbourne with a fierce exhilaration. "Bless your heart," he shouted, "keep her at it." "You bet," came the response.
From Solomons's she bade the man drive to the shop in Cranbourne Street where she was accustomed to purchase the materials she used in painting, and Fate, which uses strange agents to work out its ends, so directed it that the cabman stopped a few doors below this shop, and opposite one where jewelry and other personal effects were bought and sold.
There was a sort of pause, of which the party themselves seemed rather ashamed, until the silence was broken by the stout old knight, Sir Jasper Cranbourne, whose gallantry was so universally acknowledged, that he could afford, if we may use such an expression, to confess emotions, which men whose courage was in any respect liable to suspicion, would have thought it imprudent to acknowledge.
Suppose they've made it uncomfortable for Frencham Altar, what? Well it was only to be expected." The callous practicality of tone fired Cranbourne to answer: "Expected, yes. But one of these days if there's any justice knocking about this old world of ours we shall have to pay." "Five thousand was the price," retorted Cassis. It is probable there might have been a row had not Mr.
Nor was he less absorbed by the volume that was open before him, in Cheapside, in Cranbourne Alley, or in Bond Street, than in a lonely lane, or a secluded library. Sometimes a vulgar fellow would attempt to insult or annoy the eccentric student in passing. Shelley always avoided the malignant interruption by stepping aside with his vast and quiet agility."
