Merriwell is just the man not to do it. Were he to take so much trouble, what would he prove against me?" "He could prove that you were concerned in a dastardly attack upon him up in the Adirondacks, being at that time the worthy associate of Porfias del Norte, who came to a well-merited death, together with two other ruffians, by being buried by a landslide." Hagan grinned.
At this juncture there came another knock at the door, but this time Felipe knew who it was. He had the door open in a moment, and Bantry Hagan walked in. "Oh, it's company you have, me boy!" exclaimed the Irishman, looking wonderingly at old Spooner. "A gentleman who has the next room. He dropped in to borrow a needle and thread." "It's careful you'd better be, Felipe."
Dawson was very civil and pleasant, but I was in fact as tightly held upon his string as was the wretched Hagan. So I went on to Holland with that quick-change artist, and watched him come on board the steamer at Parkeston Quay, dressed as a rather German-looking commercial traveller, eager for war commissions upon smuggled goods.
Hagan came sometimes, he said, for quiet, to study his parts in Kensington Gardens, and George and the two ladies walked together to Lord Castlewood's door in Kensington Square, Lady Maria uttering a thousand compliments to Theo upon her good looks, upon her virtue, upon her future happiness, upon her papa and mamma, upon her destined husband, upon her paduasoy cloak and dear little feet and shoe-buckles.
"Nor I. I'm doing my best to get at the bottom of it. Neither he nor Bantry Hagan were locked up. Both got away somehow." Frank was more than vexed over this information. "There's something crooked about this, Bronson!" he exclaimed. "Why, you put the irons on Jalisco." "I know I did, and I'm shy a good pair of bracelets."
I believe they begin with shivering. On Monday, as I was going up to school, I saw Eliza Hagan waiting about. Soon I heard "Mumma," and then followed an invitation to four-o'clock tea that day, and as I was going, "Puppa must come too" was called out. Accordingly we appeared punctually at the hour named. A table was spread with a white cloth.
We had planned a cosy evening, but at about six o'clock Mrs. Glass and Rebekah with Mabel Hagan and Florence appeared. They said something about spending the evening with us and stayed two hours much enjoying themselves. Early this afternoon Mary Repetto came in with some wood and told me the party were returning. I ran out to find Graham unsaddling his donkey.
We shall leave the furniture to be put by for any future clergyman. Yesterday we had again to take the harmonium to pieces, as another note had gone wrong. We could find nothing amiss except that the note squeaked when pressed; it, however, came all right after the board had been placed near the fire. To-day old Eliza Hagan had tea with us. She is now without tea and lives mostly on eggs.
One more article followed the other two a letter, which Connie Myers took out of an unsealed envelope. He dropped this suddenly on the table, as Mike Hagan, three feet away on the floor, groaned and sat up. Hagan's eyes swept, bewildered, confused, around him, questioningly at Connie Myers and then, resting suddenly on his bound wrists, they narrowed menacingly.
"Have you got it?" he whispered tensely. "Yes," said Hagan, in a numbed way. "This way, then!" Jimmie Dale caught Hagan's arm, and pulled the other across the room and into the kitchen to the trapdoor. "Quick!" he breathed again. "Get down there quick! And no noise! They don't know how many are in the house. When they find HIM they'll probably be satisfied."
