"What is it?" asked Manning and Greig eagerly. "Love." Both Britz and Manning were skilled in the art of concealing their emotions. Their brains might be working furiously, their hearts throbbing with excitement, they might be laboring under the greatest stress of mind, yet they were able to command a placid exterior, unruffled as polished ivory.
Greig summoned Manning, and the two followed Britz into the room occupied by the detective. "Sit down and make yourselves comfortable," said Britz, producing a box of cigars and offering it to the visitors. Britz summoned the doorman. "Don't permit anyone to disturb us!" he said to the attendant.
Are you going to aid the murderer of your employer to escape punishment?" But Beard was not to be enticed into speech. Britz might as well have appealed to a lay figure for all the response he received. The detective whispered to Greig, who hastened out of the room. Not a word was uttered while he was gone.
"We ought not to have much difficulty sweating the information out of Beard," observed Greig. "He's not the kind that collapses under third degree methods," opined Britz. "But we'll discover Whitmore's movements and without much difficulty." "How?" Greig eyed his superior in mingled admiration and incredulity. From the inside pocket of his coat Britz produced a photograph.
I cannot speak in too high terms of the coolness and brave spirit with which both officers and men fought on that day. Col. Barlow on this, as on other occasions, displayed qualities for handling troops under fire which are not often met. Capt. Maze, Lieut. W. Keech, Lieut. Grannis and Lieut. T. W. Greig were noticed as behaving in the most excellent manner also Dr.
The lines in Manning's forehead gathered in perplexity between his eyebrows. "What are you going to do?" he asked. "I'm going to put Mrs. Collins to the test." The chief and Greig watched Britz in a sort of dumb bewilderment while he lifted the telephone receiver off the hook and called up the Collins house. After five minutes of anxious waiting, a voice at the other end of the wire responded.
Of the officers in my own regiment, I commend to special notice for bravery, coolness, and every soldierly quality in action, Capt. Walter H. Maze, Co. A; First Lieut. Willard Keech, Co. G; Second Lieut. Theo. N. Greig, Co. C; Second Lieut. F. W. Grannis, Co. B; Lieut. Col. Nelson A. Miles has been distinguished for his admirable conduct in many battles.
Britz nodded encouragingly, but she appeared in no haste to proceed. Instead, she permitted her gaze to alternate between him and Greig, as if trying to read the effect of her words in their impassive faces.
Greig and two daughters by Doctor Somerville. In early life, Mrs. Somerville was a fine musician: the daughters have inherited this talent; and having lived long in Florence, they speak Italian with a perfect accent. "I speak Italian," said Mrs. Somerville; "but no one could ever take me for other than a Scotchwoman."
In the lighted shelter of the booth they paused, silently regarding each other, each waiting for the other to speak. "Now that our most valuable witness is dead what next?" finally asked Greig. "The immediate necessity is to ascertain where Whitmore was during the six weeks of his absence from business," was Britz's unhesitating reply.
