In order to commence the second hole, the point of the pin being broken, they have used the point of a pen-knife, then have finished the hole with the hat-pin. The second hole is still nearer the bolt than the first one. Don't move like that, madame." "But they are going to come! They are going to come!" "I believe so." "But I can't understand how you can remain so quiet with such a certainty.
When he fell asleep in the drawing-room in summer, his consort would sit beside him and brush away the flies; in winter she would be careful to cover him up lest he should catch cold; at mass she could prick him with a hat-pin to keep him awake; as for the rest, she would bear one of the oldest names in Europe, her husband would be a strictly religious and moral person, and she would be very rich.
I wonder if you can understand my feeling when I pulled the hat-pin out of my old gray Stetson yesterday, uncovered my head, and looked straight up into the blue firmament above me. Then I said, "Thank you, God, for such a beautiful day!" Dinky-Dunk promptly said that I was blasphemous he's so strict and solemn!
Madame, the point is there yet, filling up the little old hole and the piece of metal is very sharp and very bright." "Now I understand the examination of the hat-pins. Then it is so easy as that to get through a door with a hat-pin?" "Nothing easier, especially if the panel is of pine. Sometimes one happens to break the point of a pin in the first hole. Then of necessity one makes a second.
You are the only person who can witness for the guilty. If I should let you go, the police would not. Then why not tell at once whose hand drew the hat-pin from your hat and " "Stop!" she shrieked; "stop! you kill me! I cannot bear it! If you bring that moment back to my mind I shall go mad! I feel the horror of it rising in me now! Be still! I pray you, for God's sake, to be still!"
Perhaps you didn't know that you have had a hat-pin sticking in you for some time." I began feeling myself, nervously. "For more than a month," she cried, "and to think that you have never felt it." My action was too much for her gravity, and she fell back against the skylight in a fit of merriment, which threatened to wake her father. And I hoped it would.
On the last word she compressed her mouth to a mere line, and stabbed the unrepentant sinner with her eyes; since it was unhappily impossible to stab him with a hat-pin, which she would infinitely have preferred. "I have never in my life heard any man express such improper ideas upon a serious subject," she remarked with icy emphasis.
You see," he went on expansively, settling back in his chair, and swinging his foot with the characteristic swing of the boy of two years before "you see, Clara needed a hat-pin, the kind that would stay in and keep a hat on. None of them do, Clara said. So I made one foh huh, and Clara's brothah saw it and thought it was a good thing. He's a lawyer, you know.
"Excuse me," I said, "for deviating a moment from the matter in hand, but have you a hat-pin?" "No," she answered; "but I have a brooch, if that will serve your purpose. What do you want it for?" "I wish to run it into my arm for a moment," I explained. "It won't help you any," she answered, smiling divinely.
"The second stab will be serious. Stand aside." He stepped into the gutter, biting his lips and straining his uninjured hand over the hurting throb in his wrist. The hat-pin as a weapon of defense he had hitherto accepted as reporters' yarns. He was now thoroughly convinced of the truth. He had had wide experience with women.
