I felt more than a little guilty while listening to this duet on the subject of the man whom I had lured from the straight and narrow path. But the professor would listen to no defence. My attempts at excusing him were ill received. Indeed, the professor shewed such signs of becoming heated that I abandoned my fellow-conspirator to his fate with extreme promptness.
He and his fellow-conspirator, not being aware of the custom of English troops to perform their marches during the cooler hours of the day that is to say, in the latter part of the day and early in the morning had not calculated on the possibility of their prey escaping them.
Dale filled the room with his clear young laugh, and turned on every light in the place. Lola and I exchanged glances she had adopted her usual lazy pantherine attitude in the armchair and her glance was not that of a happy woman to whom a longed-for lover had unexpectedly come. Its real significance I could not divine, but it was more wistful than merely that of a fellow-conspirator.
This intense adoration that informed his whole being, and which could neither be suppressed nor concealed, was instantly detected by both Mírzá Yaḥyá and his fellow-conspirator Siyyid Muḥammad.
That it had been her fellow-conspirator who usually undertook the carrying out of the deeds of derring-do, and that upon her had fallen the humbler task of keeping guard against any possible surprise covering his tracks averting suspicion even occasionally taking the blame, though this was without his knowledge, made no difference to her intense enjoyment.
What more simple for her than to warn her fellow-conspirator of the danger that awaited him if he approached this man Medhurst? However, I was too much frightened by the episode of the cheque to say anything of my nascent suspicions to Charles. I waited rather to see how events would shape themselves. After a while Medhurst's vigilance grew positively annoying.
In the absence of Frescobaldi's fellow-conspirator he restored himself in the caterer's esteem by adding whatever he suggested; and Fulkerson, after trembling for the old man's niggardliness, was now afraid of a fantastic profusion in the feast.
"I've got him," he said, eyeing his fellow-conspirator triumphantly. "Got who?" demanded Triffitt. "That taxi-cab chap you know who I mean," answered Carver. "Ran him down at noon today." "No!" exclaimed Triffitt. "Gad! Are you sure, though? is it certain he's the man you were after?" "He's the chap who drove a gentleman from near Portman Square to just by St.
"I'd like to talk business with you for a moment." He cocked his eye at me. I sidled off and went below. At the foot of the companion-steps I met Voules, "I beg your pardon, sir," said Voules. "If it would be convenient I should be glad to have the afternoon off." I'm bound to say I rather liked his manner. Absolutely normal. Not a trace of the fellow-conspirator about it.
"P.P.? That means P's, I suppose." "It means that, and more. P. for Pelham, and P. for peas. If they get one right, they can't very well get the other wrong." "That's true," answered Shuffles, silenced, rather than convinced, by the tactics of his fellow-conspirator. It was settled that he who knew peas must certainly "know beans." "When shall the fellows vote?" asked Shuffles.
