"It is hard to send these people away, but do you know, they have come from all parts of London? Neither Mr. Flitch nor I can make them understand that we can only deal with cases in the immediate neighbourhood. You must try." Brooks stood up at once. "I am very sorry," he said, "if there has been any misunderstanding, but I want you all to remember this.
"When I wanted very much to go to the Arctic and could not find the necessary money, Mr. Bullard and and another man advanced it, and I made a will in their favour." "Oh, how horrible!" "And yet all that proves nothing with regard to the man Flitch." "No more does this," she quickly rejoined.
"But, what, what! what's the story of this?" cried Sir Willoughby. "What is it?" said Mrs. Mountstuart, pricking up her ears. "It was a vaws," Flitch replied in elegy. "A porcelain vase!" interpreted Sir Willoughby. "China!" Mrs. Mountstuart faintly shrieked. One of the pieces was handed to her inspection. She held it close, she held it distant. She sighed horribly.
I'll start from that hunting episode, though trifling incidents had happened before then, which ought, perhaps, to have put me on the alert. One of the best shots, if not the best, in the expedition was a man named Flitch. Like myself, he joined in place of another man, almost at the last moment.
Don't work yourself into an illness again. The Green Box is gone for good, I fear. We can't call in the police, you know. But there are still things to be done for instance, find out whether the real diamonds are in Grey House and, mark you, I think they are! If I were only certain, I'd act on the will at once. That beast Flitch has been restless lately. Wants to leave the country.
Wise man! But upon my word, you took me aback refusing money! you! When do you want it, then? You had better tell me where to send it, as next week I may " Flitch, having moistened his lips, interrupted quietly with "I don't want yer money, mister, now or ever." "What the devil do you mean?" "I've joined the army." Bullard burst out laughing. "Was the sergeant sober?"
And now Caw's voice was heard calling: "Mr. Alan, Mr. Alan, wait till I get another lamp." At that on Bullard's face the sweat broke thickly. With a gasp he let Flitch drop like a heavy sack, and started to run. Not far beyond the gates Flitch overtook him. Between thick sobs Flitch was moaning: "I heard his voice. 'Twas clear and strong. He's alive! ... I didn't kill him after all.
J.E. Crawford Flitch fortunately imposed upon me in making me revise his translation obliged me to correct these errors, to clarify some obscurities, and to give greater exactitude to certain quotations from foreign writers. Hence this English translation of my Sentimiento Trágico presents in some ways a more purged and correct text than that of the original Spanish.
Flitch! back in your old place? Am I expected?" and he told the colonel his unfortunate situation. "Not back, colonel; no such luck for me" and Colonel De Craye was a very kind-hearted gentleman, as he always had been, and asked kindly after his family.
I did my best to make her and her father comfortable in my uncle's cabin; and Flitch, his steward, soon placed before them such a breakfast as they had not seen for many a long day, to which I, at all events, did not fail to do ample justice. The young lady appeared to think that naval officers were very hungry mortals, as she saw numberless slices of bacon and eggs disappear down my throat.
