His brother bent over him. "The boy's fast asleep," he said. Finucane passed the card to Randal. "'George Bruffin," he read out. "Better ask him up, superintendent, if you don't mind." Sir Gregory had been feeling himself pushed aside. He had taken the sow, it seemed, by the wrong ear. And now, the great Bruffin and his millions!
Finucane on the back seat, drove away from Paternoster Row, as the owner of the vehicle threw triumphant glances at the opposite windows at Bacon's. "It won't do the Captain any good," thought Bungay, going back to his desk and accounts, "but Mrs. B. becomes reglar upset when she thinks about her misfortune. The child would have been of age yesterday, if she'd lived.
Finucane, his colleague at the Pall Mall Gazette; or in a visit to the summer theatres across the river; or to the Royal Gardens of Vauxhall, where he was on terms of friendship with the great Simpson, and where he shook the principal comic singer of the lovely equestrian of the arena by the hand.
Finucane wore various rings, and talked rather largely about his father's demesne. But the whole thing was new, and by no means dull. As Neville had not left Ennis till late in the day, after what he called a hard day's work in the warrior line, they did not sit down till past eight o'clock; nor did any one talk of moving till past midnight.
"She is, Sir Gregory thanks entirely to the extraordinary rapidity of Mr. Richard Bellamy's intuition and action," said Finucane, speaking with unruffled respect, which yet did not hide, nor was intended to hide, a note of reproof. "Without him the Department would have been too late for the show. As it is, we are acting effectively on information supplied by Mr. Bellamy."
"And these," he concluded, "are the dope and the book-o'-the-words." Both Finucane and Sir Gregory started forward as if to take possession, but Dick drew back. "No," he said, "I didn't go looting for my country's sake, nor the world's. I just happened to pick up two little things belonging to a friend of mine."
"That's my brother's argument," said Randal, adding his word of comfort. There was a tap at the door, and a constable entered. "Sir Randal Bellamy's chauffeur, sir," he said to Finucane. "He has brought this letter. Says it's from Mr. Richard Bellamy." Randal glanced at the note and then read aloud: "Melchard's the man we want. Get his address. 'Phone cut outside. Wire me address P.D.Q."
I gave him the first of my two shots before he jumped, the second I put through his head as he lay scrabbling in the car."

The officer who went thither with an escort, and Captain Devers and Corporal Finucane and Troopers Boyd and Howard, had had pointed out to him the scene of the massacre itself, then, far up the spur, the spot where Mullen and Phillips were shot, and from thence the trail of Davies's little squad as it marched away on its fatal errand toward the Springs, and the trails of the various parties.
"There look down to your left, where you see the lights shining so brightly, that is Father Malachi's house; as sure as my name is De Courcy Finucane, there's fun going on there this night." "Why, there certainly does seem a great illumination in the valley there," said I. "May I never," said the doctor, "if it isn't a station " "A station! pray may I ask "
