Perhaps in the street, an effect of light, a passing face, yes, even the plaintive grind of a street organ, some such everyday circumstance, affects you suddenly in quite a strange way. It has become universalised. It is no longer a detail of the Strand, but a cryptic symbol of human life.
"I'll take him in hand to-morrow," said Gorman. "There's no use our having him to dine with us and looking after him all the way cross if we don't get anything out of him." Gorman's words were cryptic. I wanted to get knowledge the sort of knowledge which would satisfy my curiosity out of Ascher; chiefly knowledge though I would not have refused a little inside information about Canadian affairs.
