It was on the eighth day of my stay in Bellevue, that, on starting forth from the hotel one morning, I saw Doctor Castleton standing before the Loomis House, in one of his favorite attitudes that is, with his head and shoulders thrown back and his hands upon his hips looking intently at a young man who stood speaking with an aged farmer across the way, near the street curbing a harmless-looking youth, with dark blue eyes, and straight, very dark hair in fact, the clerical-looking young man whom I had seen from my windows.
This insect the 'Glossina moritans' of the naturalists deserves a special paragraph. It is a brown insect about as large as our common house-fly, with three or four yellow bars across its hinder part. A lively, buzzing, harmless-looking fellow is the tsetse.
Or would it be better to wait fourteen more Earth-days, till another lunar dawn? Hell no that would be chickenish procrastination. Rodan and Dutch were a good ten feet away from him he was out of their reach. With the harmless-looking trowel held like a dagger, he struck with all his might at the stellene outer wall of the dome, and then made a ripping motion.
I only want to show you that my assistance is not less necessary to the success of the Armadale speculation now than it was when I made our first important discoveries, by means of the harmless-looking young man and the private inquiry office in Shadyside Place.
They looked like a number of huge hedge hogs rolled up, and presenting on all sides their thorny spikes. On seeing them, I dropped my horse; and, drawing my knife, ran eagerly forward. My companions thought I had gone mad, not understanding why I should have drawn my knife on such harmless-looking objects, and not knowing what they were.
One after another of these returned, empty-handed, covered with dust and mud, their horses exhausted, to be met and passed by fresh posses starting out to continue the pursuit. The sheriff of Santa Clara County sent down his bloodhounds from San Jose small, harmless-looking dogs, with a terrific bay to help in the chase.
Chalmers has just given you concerning myself is entirely confidential." Nigel nodded. "We three will have a little talk to ourselves afterwards," he suggested. "At eight o'clock Number 17, Belgrave Square." Jesson strolled away after a little desultory conversation. Chalmers looked after him thoughtfully. "Harmless-looking chap, isn't he?" he observed.
The "death current" is now almost everywhere, though the care of the men who continually work about "live" wires has grown to be much like that of men who continually handle firearms or explosives, and accidents seldom happen. At first it was apparently difficult for the general public to appreciate the fact that the silent and harmless-looking wires must be avoided.
If the Secret Party wanted to send messengers no one would think of suspecting, who could be more harmless-looking than two vagabond boys wandering about picking up their living as best they could, not seeming to belong to any one? And one a cripple. It was true yes, it was true, as The Rat said, that his being a cripple made him look safer than any one else.
This was a very remarkable personage, his features decidedly Jewish, having a thin aquiline nose and a very piercing eye, as intent on mischief as if it had belonged to Satan himself. I received the strangers, who appeared to be a stupid harmless-looking set, as civilly as I could, giving to one who appeared to be their chief, a nail.
