At last, this morning, I have brought him a degree further. In the last few days I made it my business to acquaint myself, as far as possible, with the exact circumstances of the tragedy, so far as they are known, and in course of my inquiries I saw the housekeeper of the offices next door the man who identified the body as Denson's.
"So help me, Josephine, I've got a good mind to go back and lick them again, for not hanging together like they ought to." But the threat was an idle one, and they went on to Denson's, Weary still with that anxious look in his eyes, and Pink quite complacent over his exploit.
He watched the hill behind a moment, threw up his head and trotted off up the trail to Denson's. Chip, galloping madly, caught a glimpse of the fugitive a mile away, set his teeth together, and swung Blazes sharply off the trail into a bypath which intersected the road further on. He hoped the Little Doctor was safe at Denson's, but at that very moment he saw her ride slowly over a distant ridge.
They wrangled for some time, and it had the effect upon me of coming out from the glow of a good matinee performance into the cold daylight of late afternoon. Chris Robinson did not shine in conflict with Denson; he was an orator and not a dialectician, and he missed Denson's points and displayed a disposition to plunge into untimely pathos and indignation.
"See there," he said, "that is how Denson left the building without passing the housekeeper's box! And now I'm going to make another shot. See here. This key on Denson's bunch attracted my attention because of its noticeable newness compared with most of the others. Most of the others, I say, because there is one other just as bright see! This small one.
Maybe he'll relish the taste of the doggone stuff I don't." "I suppose you've labeled THAT a 'Joke please laugh here," sighed Miss Whitmore, plaintively, climbing gingerly down. "I guess I'll go down to Denson's to-day," said J. G. at the breakfast table one morning. "Maybe we can get that grass widow to come and keep house for us."
His fingers fumbled with the door-knob. "Want me to do anything?" Pink asked quizzically just behind him. "I thought sure we'd go and remonstrate with then gay " Weary interrupted him. "The herders can wait and, anyway, I've kinda got an idea Andy wants to hand out his own brand of poison to that bunch. You and I will take a ride over to Denson's and see what's going on over there.
"See here this was found in Mr. Denson's pocket." Plummer nodded sagaciously. "All in the plant," he said. "See it's brand new; clean as a new pin, and file marks still on it." "Take us to this back door, Hutt," Hewitt pursued. "We'll try this key. Is there a back staircase?" There was a small back staircase, leading to the coal-cellars, and only used by servants.
I ain't got no kick comin' there. Sorry to hear the Old Man's hurt back East. Mary was real put out at not bein' able to see Louise 'fore she went away" Louise being the Countess' and Mary Denson's sister "but soon as I sold I got oneasy like. The feller wanted p'session right away, too, so I told Mary we might as well start b'fore we git outa the notion.
Denson's office, and since his office boy still stays away, I will lend him my clerk for a little. He will keep his eyes open if any callers come, and his ears too. Wait while I fetch him." It was at this point that my humble part in the case began, for Hewitt hurried first to my rooms. "Brett," he exclaimed, "are you engaged this afternoon?" "No nothing important."
