It turned out to be needless, for so interested as the fellow with the flash-light in his work of inserting a key in the lock, and trying to turn it, that he did not appear to notice anything wrong until Hugh was close at his elbow. Then, as Thad slipped around to one side to cover all lines of retreat. Hugh reached out a hand and caught hold of the fellow by the shoulder.
"I thought you had my sister with you. I've spotted her twice with you in this car.... It may not interest you or your your guest, but I'll add that you're damned lucky not to have Lorna here to-night." Then he snapped off his flash-light, and slamming the car door, he wheeled away.
Merkle interposed. "Will you tell me what has happened?" "It is terrible, incredible, M'sieu," wailed the manager. "Same old story, John. I came out here for a quiet supper with a lady. I've been coming here regularly. They got us into a private room, then took a flash-light, and there you are. I made a rush for the waiter as soon as I realized what had occurred, but he'd skipped.
When Graham helped her up the stairs that night, she startled him by leaning up against him to laugh again. "I was thinking of Claire's picture in the flash-light," she explained, as her brother looked down at her anxiously. "Poor Claire! I'm afraid she felt more like crying than laughing." "'Tisn't every girl that's as plucky as my little sister," said Graham, tightening his clasp about her.
We were all surprisingly vivid it felt, somehow, as though we were being photographed by flash-light... It was the best sitting we'd ever had but unfortunately it didn't last more than ten minutes. It was Vard's secretary who interrupted us a slinking chap called Cornley, who burst in, as white as sweetbread, with the face of a depositor who hears his bank has stopped payment.
Proud of her finery, secretly exulting also that she had a matter of twenty pounds or so put away in her private stocking, she flaunted down the crowded restaurant, followed by the little fat director, only remarkable for a diamond flash-light in his shirt-front, and by Andrew, inordinately long and gawky, in his ill-fitting, short-sleeved evening suit, his ready made white tie already wandering in grievance towards a sympathetic ear.
MacIntyre had determined to have a flash-light picture taken of them, and they had to wait until the photographer could send home for his camera. After they reached the house they could hardly be persuaded to undress.
The tiny red speck in the distance, that goes and comes again, is the flash-light at Setuckit Point, and the twinkle on the horizon to the south is the beacon of the lightship on Sand Hill Shoal. It is on his arrival at this point, too, that the stranger first notices the sound of the surf.
One of the favorite outdoor sports of this preacher for a month was to lie on his stomach on the front mud-guard of a big Pierce-Arrow through the war-zone roads, bumping over shell-holes, with a little pocket flash-light playing on the ground, searching out the shell-holes, and trying to help the driver keep in the road.
Any one could see through the windows or shoot through them. Charley put his flash-light in his pocket and blew out his lamp. The evening was warm, and Charley opened the door and sat down on the sill, leaning against the jamb of the door, and cradling his rifle across his knees. Soon his eyes became accustomed to the darkness.
