The detective placed his hands on his knees, and Gallegher stood upon his shoulders, and with the blade of his knife lifted the wooden button that fastened the window on the inside, and pulled the shutter open. Then he put one leg inside over the sill, and leaning down helped to draw his fellow-conspirator up to a level with the window.
Manuel, his face twisted with pain, and holding his wounded arm, glared at his fellow-conspirator, undauntedly. "My friend," said Cecil to him, calmly, "I have many times instructed you that nothing is to be done until I give the word." The Cuban cursed, but made no other answer.
She had come to him because she thought that he would like to share in her revenge. That, more than anything, hurt him, bringing him down to her base, sordid level, making him fellow-conspirator with her, plotting...ugh! How cruelly unfair that he, upright, generous, should be involved like this so meanly.
She flung the pen to one side in nervous trepidation, and then she searched until she found one that was soft and pliable, and went whispering over the paper like a fellow-conspirator. This was what she wrote: "DEAR MR. DAYTON, "I want to go into the 'Horn of Plenty' again, and I can't get away to attend to it. I enclose your check, and one of my own for $400.
For it was sweet to see her in great assemblies, shining like a queen and like a queen surrounded by homage, and to know that he alone of mortals was enthroned in her heart.

"When we reach the tents I will listen to you," was the short reply, and the little party went on its way in silence for a long time, silent save for the mutterings of the Mexican and his fellow-conspirator, as Nestor believed the watchman to be. Moonlight lay like a silver mist over the stubborn paths the party was following.
The journals of the Hôtel de Ville still attest the anxiety of the court of Catherine and her fellow-conspirator that the massacre should be sweeping and complete. "Very late in the evening" it must have been after dark, for the King went to lie down at eight, and did not rise until ten the provost was sent for.
Then Sophia determined to force herself to make a speech, and she braced her muscles to an unprecedented effort. "Say not a word to the others." She could not bear that the whole household should know of her illness. Jacqueline nodded and vanished, the dog following. Jacqueline understood. She lived in the place with her mistress as with a fellow-conspirator. Sophia began to feel better.
"Oh, we give in," admitted Kurdy. "We know when we've had enough," and he rubbed his head gently where the giant had banged it against that of his fellow-conspirator. "Do you mean that you four came into this shop, at midnight, to damage the Mars?" asked Tom. "That's about it, Mr. Swift," replied Kurdy rather shamefacedly.
