Little girls in Alsatian costume, and the eternally sublime Red Cross nurse played upon their sentimentality; the slacker inspired them with disgust; they shrieked with delight at the nouveau riche; and their enthusiasm knew no bounds when towards eleven-fifteen arrived the "Stars and Stripes" accompanied by a double sextette of khaki-coloured female ambulance drivers.
Across it was stamped the name of Sanford Quest. "This yours, Quest?" "Of course it is," Quest answered. "Everything in the room is mine." "The girl would fight to defend herself," the Inspector remarked slowly, "but she could never strike a man such a blow as your valet died from." Once more he stooped and picked up a small clock. It had stopped at eleven-fifteen. He looked at it thoughtfully.
These two facts had aroused the man-servant's curiosity." "What time did the captain return?" "Almost immediately. He changed into his dinner jacket, and went forth again, saying that he intended to dine at the Naval and Military Club, and return to his rooms in time to change and catch the eleven-fifteen train from Waterloo for Salisbury that same night.
If you're waking, call me early there's many a black, black eye, Horrex, but none so black as mine. Call me at eleven-fifteen, bringing with you this gentleman's blood in a bottle. Goo'-night, go to bye-bye. . . ." By the fleeting light of a street-lamp I saw his head drop forward, and a minute later he was gently snoring.
We withdrew for a short time, not knowing we had them whipped. As we were leaving, three ships were burning. At nine-twenty-five, we started again. In a short time the arsenal went up and the Government buildings were in flames. "The battle lasted altogether three hours and some minutes. At eleven-fifteen the white flag was shown, and you might hear us cheer. The ship was hit about six times.
"Mees Garden weel be hear in a meenute," the medieval face of Boris whispers into the Muscovite ears of Serge. Eleven-fifteen, and Miss Garden has arrived. She is armed, having brought along her heaviest shillalah. Mr. Prokofieff is on his feet. He takes off his coat. The medieval face of Mr. Anisfeld vanishes. Tap, tap, on the conductor's stand. Lights out. A fanfare from the orchestra's right.
"Going down to see these people?" he asked, with a jerk of his head towards the West. "Yes, I am going by the eleven-fifteen." "I have been thinking," continued the sub-editor, "we may as well keep the printing-office door locked to-day. That slippery gentleman with the watery eyes meant business, or I am very much mistaken.
"But did you not think it was dangerous?" Again the hesitation. "It may have been foolish, and if I had known how matters were developing I should certainly not have touched them." "You do admit that there were several periods of time from seven in the evening until nine and from nine-thirty until eleven-fifteen when you were absolutely alone in the bank?" "That is true," said Jasper.
That same evening, in accordance with his instructions, he called up from his house a certain number. He had been told to call this number exactly at eight o'clock and to ask for Mrs. Williams. Without delay he got Mrs. Williams on the wire. Over the wire a woman's voice told him to meet her at the McPherson Statue in McPherson Square at eleven-fifteen o'clock that night.
"Well, you see, my conscience would not permit me to meet such a remarkable woman as Miss Landors without becoming better acquainted with her." He swung his cane back and forth. "This is very sudden," said I, lighting a cigar. "When did it happen?" "What time did she come into your office the other day?" "It must have been after eleven." "Then it happened about eleven-fifteen."
