"Yes; he said he hadn't told her so. It was all very unpleasant, and the police sergeant was as suspicious as you like, by this time. 'What were you doing when the alarm was given? he asked David. 'I was out in the grounds, said David, and that was rather a facer for the rest of us, I must confess.
He knows and never forgets that people talk, first of all, for the sake of talking; conducts himself in the ring, to use the old slang, like a thorough "glutton," and honestly enjoys a telling facer from his adversary. Cockshot is bottled effervescency, the sworn foe of sleep. Three- in-the-morning Cockshot, says a victim. His talk is like the driest of all imaginable dry champagnes.
Robin permitted himself a sly grin as he sauntered into the hotel. He had given that fellow something to worry about, if he had accomplished nothing else. Then he found himself wondering if, by any chance, it could be the Scoville fellow. That would be a facer! He found Quinnox and Dank awaiting him in the lobby. They were visibly excited.
No mistake, it's a facer!" Dr. Knott settled himself back squarely in his chair and pushed his cheese-plate away from him, while his shaggy eyebrows drew together as he fixed his eyes on the young man at the head of the table. "A facer!" he repeated to himself. "Yes, the ancients knew what they were about in these awkward matters. The modern conscience is disastrously anæmic."
Macdonald is going away to-morrow for two or three days and he has some business he wants to talk over with Sheba. He had made an appointment with her, and I didn't think it fair to let your coming interfere with it." Gordon took this facer with his smile still working. "I've got a little business I want to talk over with you, Di." She had always been a young woman of rather a hard finish.
Kittites had need to be confident in the skill of their lither lad. His facer looked granite. Fronting that mass, Kit you might not to lash about for comparisons call a bundle of bamboo. Ay, but well knitted, springy, alive every inch of him; crafty, too, as you will soon bear witness. He knows he has got his task, and he's the man to do it. There was wary sparring, and mirrors watched them.
"What is the matter with you, Sydney?" he asked. "You are duller than ever. I am positively not going to sit here and mumble about the weather. How are the Carooms? Have you heard from them lately?" "They are up in Yorkshire," Molyneux announced, "staying with the Pryce-Powells. I believe they're all right. I'm beastly fit myself, but I had a bit of a facer last week.
The old man struck me as being remarkably clear-headed. By the way, I want to thank you for sending a relief party out to find me, Mr. Selfridge. Except for your help I would have died in the hills." This was another facer for Wally. What the devil did the fellow mean? The deuce of it was that he knew all the facts and Wally did not.
McKnight slid down in his chair until his weight rested on the small of his back, and put his feet on the big reading table. "It is rather a facer," he said. "It's really too good a situation for a commonplace lawyer. It ought to be dramatized.
"It couldn't have happened at a worse time," he muttered, turning white. "What?" "Laura, Mrs. Bentley and Belle Meade are in New York, and will reach here this afternoon. Laura says they have learned that there is a hop on to-night, and they are bringing their prettiest frocks." "Whew! That is a facer!" breathed Greg in perplexity. "Of course I can't take Laura to the hop."
