The German, on the other hand, had a small portmanteau and a large dispatch box, both of which he opened with a certain ostentation, and I observed that the official's eyes glittered under his raised eyebrows as he looked into the contents of the dispatch-box.
So he took all these valuables in a black japanned dispatch-box, which he guarded like a child with absurd precautions. He never allowed that box out of his sight one moment; and he gave me no peace as to its safety and integrity. It was a perfect fetish. "We must be cautious," he said, "Sey, cautious! Especially in travelling.
The one thing that puzzles me is how the thief got to work without waking me, as I always place a little electric alarm on my bag when travelling with securities and secondly, how did he manage to open both the bag and the dispatch-box it contained?" "Well," said Rayne. "Don't let us raise any alarm, but just wait till we get to Lyons. Then we'll see that nobody alights before we call the police."
In one bookcase there was a shelf of dummy books. He unlocked this and revealed a small cupboard, whence he took a tin dispatch-box. From some papers he selected one, which seemed to be already signed. 'Name? he asked. 'Call me Hans Gruber of Brieg, I said. 'I travel to pick up my master, who is in the timber trade. 'And your return?
I struck a match and lit a cigar, one of a handful which Ray had forced upon me. Then I crossed stealthily to the other side of the road, and felt for the hedge.

When we had found the cigarette-case, and returned to the sitting-room lo, and behold! the dispatch-box was missing! Charles questioned the servants, but none of them had noticed it. He searched round the room not a trace of it anywhere. "Why, I laid it down here just two minutes ago!" he cried. But it was not forthcoming. "It'll turn up in time," I said.
Failing to find her, on putting this idea to the test, Lord Loring had discovered Penrose, and had so hastened the introduction of the younger of the two Jesuits to Romayne. Having gathered his papers together, Father Benwell crossed the library to the deep bow-window which lighted the room, and opened his dispatch-box, standing on a small table in the recess.
And Edward Henry responded, in conformity with the changeless ritual of the Five Towns: "I looks!" And they sipped. Whereupon Mr. Bryany next drew from the dispatch-box a piece of transparent paper. "I want you to look at this plan of Piccadilly Circus and environs," said he. Now there is a Piccadilly in Hanbridge; also a Pall Mall and a Chancery Lane.
I do hope you will be able to give me better news soon." "Let me know if you want me, or if there is any change," he said as they parted. "I will come at any time." Philippa spent the afternoon in her own room with the dispatch-box by her side, going systematically through the contents.
He should be hors de combat for some time." "But why didn't you cry out to me?" I said. "I should not have run if I had known that I had an ally there." "To run was exactly what I wanted you to do," Ray answered. "You had the dispatch-box, and I wanted to see you safe away." I glanced at his bandaged head and arm. "I suppose that I ought to apologize to you," I said.
