Half-round copper conductors were used, kept in place relatively to each other and in the tube, first of all by a heavy piece of cardboard, and later on by a rope; and then put in a twenty-foot iron pipe; and a combination of asphaltum and linseed oil was forced into the pipe for the insulation. I remember as a coincidence that the building was only twenty feet wide.
Then something touched my hand, and I still thought it was you; but I looked down, and I saw Adam Dishart's black dog. "I did not move. It looked up at me and wagged its tail. Then it drew back I suppose because I had no words for it. I watched it run half-round the room and stop and look at me again. Then it slunk out. "All that time one of my hands had been holding the desk open.
The face was turned half-round, and the effect was that of one of those black silhouettes which our grandparents loved to frame. It was a perfect reproduction of Holmes. So amazed was I that I threw out my hand to make sure that the man himself was standing beside me. He was quivering with silent laughter. "Well?" said he. "Good heavens!" I cried. "It is marvellous."

There was more than a hint of amusement in the black eyes with which the stranger was regarding Racey. The latter felt that the stranger was enjoying a hearty internal laugh at his expense. As probably he was. Racey looked at him from beneath level brows.
The financier swung half-round in his chair, the smile of greeting faded out of his face, and his voice was hard as he replied coldly: "Again?
