At this insult to my professional ability as a physician, I got on my ear, and said with a grouch: "Well, if you don't think he's dead, just see whether you can detect any heart-beat there, smart as you are." Holmes was bending down over the apparent corpse, when we heard some one walking along the corridor outside.
I used to lie awake at night sometimes thinking `supposing it bad been Ann and me! I'd sort of work it out as it might have happened in New York at the office of the Sunday Earth. Supposing some fellow that'd had a grouch against me had managed it so that Galton thought I'd been getting away with money that didn't belong to me fixing up my expense account, or worse.
Austin's lumbago and knew exactly what was the matter with James D. Austin. The next time he ran across Cynthia's son he hailed him. "Look here, Knight, what you been doing to James D. lately? Been turning his nice little church all upside down, ain't you? Driven him right into a fearful case of grouch and an I-am-through-with-the-things-of-this-world attack, that's what you have."
"I have it! We'll extend the agreement until noon to-morrow. You have that appointment with her father in the morning." "That's square! Just like you, Jimmy. Course I knew you'd play fair It's only my grouch. I remember now. Madam G. gave you a bid to dine with her." Lord James drew out his monocle, replaced it, and smiled. "Er quite true; but possibly the daughter may be a compensation."
So the next morning I took her out to this moving-picture joint that they call a studio not a bit like Metta Bigler's studio in Red Gap and sure enough here's the grouch ready to put Vida on a job. The job is in a room about ninety feet long filled with boxes and sewing machines and shelves full of costumes, and Vida is to be assistant wardrobe mistress. Yes, sir; a regular title for the job.
"Yes, SIR! Loses what little sense he's got. Why, the last time him and m' girl friend got to scrapping was when he was going on to Pittsburg to play, about a month ago. He'd been out with her the day he left for there, and he had a grouch or something, and he started making low, sneaky cracks about her Uncle Sigsbee.
I can get you a steamer-trunk wholesale, anyway. Look, it's nearly two o'clock already! Come on and be game! Think of it out in the park a day like this! Grass growing, birds singing, and the zoo and all. Aw, be game, Miss Miriam!" "If I thought Ray would help mamma; but she's got a grouch on and " "Sure she will!
I was working off a grouch; I needed speed." "Where did you go?" "Straight down the peninsula on the main highway to Palo Alto, made the sweep across to the sea, and then up the coast road. I ran into the garage about dawn." "No stops anywhere?" He shook his head. "And that's your alibi?" "That's my alibi." Worth looked at me a long while before he said finally,
"Oh, dry up and blow away," muttered Han, dragging himself painfully down the companion on his way to the galley. Phil Street smiled. "Seems to me we're starting our adventure rather inauspiciously," he said. "If we have a grouch before we leave the dock what's going to happen later?" "Maybe it's a good thing to have it now and get over it," laughed Steve. "It was hot, though!
The coast must be kept clear or the scheme falls through." Grouch went heavily out, and Holmes called me back into the room. "Jenkins," said he, "that man is one of the biggest scoundrels in creation, and I'm going to give him a jolt." "Where are you going to get the retired burglar?" I asked. "Sir," returned Raffles Holmes, "this is to be a personally conducted enterprise.
