I passed through the door, which was only closed, and moved as rapidly as I could, consistently with stillness, along the lobby. Before I had gone many yards, I heard the door through which I had just passed double-locked on the inside. I glided down the stairs in terror, lest, at every corner, I should meet the murderer or one of his accomplices.
"And besides," continued Thuillier, "a woman of Celeste's age can't be kept in prison." "Your wife! have I put her in prison?" "You can't deny it, for I found the door of her room double-locked." "Parbleu! all this because in my anger at the infamous things she was spitting at me I may have turned the key of the door without intending it."
Then he took a small packet from one of his bureau drawers, slipped into his pocket the bank notes lent him by his old friend, and left his study, the door of which he double-locked. On reaching the landing, he paused. He listened intently as though the sound of Madame Gerdy's moans could reach him where he stood. Hearing nothing, he descended the stairs on tiptoe.
He held me fast, half unconscious as he was, lest I should summon help; and when a step was heard in the passage, as once before the day Edwin was married how, on a sudden, I remembered all! he tottered forward and locked, double-locked, the door. After a few minutes the worst suffering abated, and he sat down again in his chair.
In a few minutes it was over, but that creature in his fury seemed to have inspired himself with lock-jaw, for his teeth were so driven in and double-locked, that I had to pry the jaws apart before the hand was free.

"Washington is a gay city during the session," again suggested the stranger. "I'm going on business," said Thatcher bluntly. A trifling incident occurred at Pine-Tree Crossing which did not heighten Yuba Bill's admiration of the stranger. As Bill opened the double-locked box in the "boot" of the coach sacred to Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express and the Overland Company's treasures Mr.

"I thought you locked him in some room?" "Lock and double-locked. Bolted, besides. Worst is, all bolts and locks are just as I left 'em. Had the key in my pocket and went in, saluting, and there wasn't anybody to salute. Well, ma'am, if he's out, and 'twas him saw that money, there'd better two of us sleep beside it, rather than one.
Then, just as she stooped over the oven's mouth, to turn the loaves, the King, seizing his opportunity, pushed her in, and clapping down the cover, locked and double-locked it.
