"If you'd had the sense of a six-months'-old goslin' you'd 'a' set still, as I told you, and let me manage that canoe. But you never kin learn a West Pointer nothin'. He'd try to give God Almighty points if he got a chance. Now we've lost our canoe, and we're in a devil of a fix. I feel like throwin' you back in the crick."
What do you mean? Somebody in my own house?" "Yes. The Greek affair is known. They have been put upon their guard in Athens." "By whom?" cried the Baronet, starting from his chair. "By somebody whom we cannot trace somebody who must have had access to your papers." "No one has had access to my papers. I always take good care of that, Goslin very good care of that.
This to old Goslin, who closed the door and returned. "Lady in a heliotrope dress with a lace collar, three flounces on the skirt?" "That's right, Mr. Bennett," agreed old Goslin. "It's the Babe himself!" asserted Harry Bennett. The question of Hamlet's madness was forgotten. "Was in at Stinchcombe's this morning," explained Harry Bennett; "saw the clothes on the counter addressed to him.
They were escorted by the chamberlain of the archbishop, and on arriving at his palace were conducted into the chamber where Goslin, Count Eudes, and several of the leading persons of Paris awaited them. Siegfroi bent his head before the prelate. "Goslin," he said, "I beg you to have compassion upon yourself and your flock if you do not wish to perish.
Old Goslin found Jack Herring the centre of an earnest argument on Hamlet was he really mad? "A lady to see you, Mr. Herring," announced old Goslin. "A what?" "Miss Bulstrode Mr. Bulstrode's sister. She's waiting in the hall." "Never knew he had a sister," said Jack Herring, rising. "Wait a minute," said Harry Bennett. "Shut that door. Don't go."
Robert felt the hot blood mount to his brow. "Say, bumpkin, how did ye get away from your ma's apron-string?" said the other. "He hasn't got the pluck of a goslin," said the first. Robert set his teeth together, but made no reply, and walked away. He felt like pitching them headforemost into the dock, and was fearful he might do something which, in cooler blood, he would wish he had not done.
Goslin, like most other people, had been many times bored by the old man's technical discourses upon his hobby. But he never showed it. He, just the same as other people, made pretence of being interested. "Yes," he remarked, "they must be most instructive to the student. I recollect seeing a great quantity in the Bargello at Florence."
"I must admit, Krail, that what you say is true," declared the well-dressed man. "You are such a philosopher always! I asked you to come here in secret to explain the exact position." "It is one of peril. We are checkmated. Goslin holds the whole position in his hands, and will keep it."
"Well, that's one thing to be thankful for," he gasped. "I was afraid you were going to tell me that the facts were exposed." "They may yet be exposed," the mysterious visitor exclaimed. "That's where lies the danger." "We have been betrayed, eh? You may as well admit the ugly truth at once, Goslin!" "I do not conceal it, Sir Henry. We have." "By whom?" "By somebody here in this house." "Here!

"We ought to know where he's been, Goslin," declared the elder man. "What fool was it who, keeping him under surveillance, allowed him to slip from Paris?" "The Russian Tchernine."
