If Swain answers the call, if he enters the grounds, he will separate him from you once for all by causing him to be found guilty of killing your father. He hastens back to the house, tears the leaf from the album of finger-prints and prepares the rubber gloves.
He felt strongly about property, and might prefer to show her over himself. On the other hand, he had told her to keep in the dry, and the porch was beginning to drip. So she went in, and the drought from inside slammed the door behind. Desolation greeted her. Dirty finger-prints were on the hall-windows, flue and rubbish on its unwashed boards.
"Have you given any attention to the subject of finger-prints?" "Yes. A great deal of attention." "Have you seen it before?" "Yes. I saw it at Scotland Yard." "Did you examine it thoroughly?" "Very thoroughly. The police officials gave me every facility and, with their permission, I took several photographs of it." "There is a mark on that paper resembling the print of a human thumb?" "There is."
No, the romantic setting is not like Boulnois. It's more like Champion." "Ah!" she said, and looked at him with eyes like diamonds. "And the trivial thing was this," said Brown.

"Tell us about your visit to the forward house." "It was between two and three. I met no one. I had a bunch of keys from the trunks and from four doors in the after house.
We are faced by mysteries which are, so to speak, absolute and compact, which offer no gap through which the keenest eyes can see and which it is useless to hope to clear up by ordinary methods, such as inspection of the scenes of the crimes, police enquiries, searching for finger-prints and so on.
I wanted to make sure that the man was really dead, and, especially, I wanted to examine his hair and to compare his finger-prints with the set that I had in the museum. However, it could not be helped.

There could be only one person for whom he was willing to make such a sacrifice Lady Eileen Meredith." "Yes, I understand that. But the finger-prints on the warning?" "They puzzled me for a while.
