Cricklander donned her most suitably ravishing tea-gown, one of subdued simplicity and, like a beautiful summer flower, she swept into the invalid's room when the lowered sun blinds made the light restful and the June roses filled the air with scent. It was the end of the month and glorious weather was over the land. Nothing could have been more exquisite than Cecilia's sympathy.
My own accomplishment was of another character took, as it seemed to me, a wider and a more untrammelled range.

Hereupon I rent off hood and robe and found him a poor, mean creature that wept and moaned, wherefore I incontinent gagged him with stuff from his own habit and thereafter locked him securely into my fetters.

With a muttered malediction upon this ruthless destroyer of his rest, the detective donned his clothing, and, feeling as tired and unrefreshed as though he had not slept at all, descended to the dining-room.
