Stirring things had begun to occur in the neighbourhood of his ankles, where Bill, the fox-terrier, had encountered an acquaintance, and, to the accompaniment of a loud, gargling noise, was endeavouring to bite his head off.

Marcia nodded understandingly. "Do you ever have any fun?" she asked. "What do you mean by fun?"

We were very close to Nature that night, but in the early morning still closer.

"Very well," said the first voice. "That will be all right, but we must act to-night. The damned thing must be finished to-morrow.

The latch of the alley gate clicked once more, and his hand was on his revolver; but in a moment the two had passed on down the alley.

Tell me, Wilhelmina, when did you and Mr. Peters meet?" "Why, in in Sir Mallaby Marlowe's office, the morning you came there and found me when I was talking to Sam."
