Then we can get back to that empty apartment in the house on the next street, and before they can get around to start anything, we shall be prepared for them." Garrick stopped to speak to the hall-boy again as we left, carrying the other box. What he said I did not hear but the boy nodded intelligently.
He recalled the hall-boy's statement that Mr. Dyckman was often there. His wife was lying to him, plainly.

I could put you a folding bed in the room where you wrote, and we could even have one in the parlor." "Behind a portiere? I couldn't stand any more portieres!"
