"I am to trust them also," Alan replied, with a smile, "as well as Mr. Harvie." "Thank you, sir. As you have seen, sir, I have ventured to trust Dr. Handyside and Miss Handyside a bit of my own; in fact I was forced into so doing; and, though I had my master's word for it, if necessary, I am glad to hear it again from you, sir. As for Mr.
Forbes?" said the chief inspector, after a short wait. "Yes." "I am Winter, of Scotland Yard. I want to assure you that your wife and daughter will be under your roof within the next three hours. Mrs. Forbes will probably be escorted by a gentleman named Handyside, an American. You owe him all possible thanks, because it is due to his action alone that Mrs.
Handyside, in which two brothers exhibited this peculiarity; see also a paper by Dr. Bartels, in 'Reichert's and du Bois-Reymond's Archiv., 1872, p. 304. In one of the cases alluded to by Dr. Bartels, a man bore five mammae, one being medial and placed above the navel; Meckel von Hemsbach thinks that this latter case is illustrated by a medial mamma occurring in certain Cheiroptera.
"If I may say so," returned Caw, who would have been happier standing at attention than sitting in Miss Handyside's company, "you take a lofty view of the matter, sir, and you put it in a nutshell when you say that his motives are none of our business. I am sorry to have brought you and Miss Handyside into the trouble " "I rather think I came in," observed Miss Handyside with a smile.
Suddenly he gave a short chuckle, rose, and made for the door in the back wall. Ere he reached it, it opened. A girl came in. He was taken aback, and she was first to speak. "Would you mind shaking hands?" said she. "Miss Handyside, was it you?" he cried, taking her hand with diffidence. She nodded. "At least, I suppose so, for it all happened so quickly that I'm still in a state of wonder."
"Which is a fact, miss. And very welcome, too, if I may say so. Also, Mr. Craig trusted you both." "Wherefore it is up to us to trust his wisdom and respect his wishes," said Handyside. "The green box must remain where it is and take its chance." "If you hadn't told us," said Marjorie to Caw, "that you were the last to see inside the box, I should be imagining all sorts of things.
It was pleasant to know that he had succeeded in rescuing her from some indefinable though none the less deadly peril, yet the insistent question in his subconscious mind was not connected with Evelyn's escape, or the flight of her assailant, or the mysterious presence of the chief inspector, but with the vanishing of Mr. Handyside. What had become of him?
Theydon had forgotten to ask Handyside for his ticket. The girl, of course, had her own ticket, but her companion was not allowed to pass the barrier. He began an explanation to which a busy official paid no heed. In desperation, he produced a sovereign, and his card. "Here," be said, "you can hold this as a guarantee that my ticket will be given up.
"Your revenge, Alan." "No, no, old man, I never wanted his life. It was only his employer I was after." "You've got his employer now if you want him." Alan stared at his friend. "Why do you say if I want him? Don't you imagine I want him?" he cried "not for anything he may have done or tried to do to me, but for what might have happened had Mar Miss Handyside opened that infernal Green Box "
"And if you, sir, would be good enough to give your housekeeper some explanation that would satisfy her without giving away things " "That will be all right, Caw," Miss Handyside assured him. "When you get to know Mrs. Butters, you will realise that she is not as others are, being a woman absolutely without curiosity." "Thank you, miss." Caw smiled faintly and got up.
