"As a matter of fact," said Stansford, "I get only two guineas. I suppose the other three, if such is the price paid, goes to my employers." "I thought Mr. Heckle was your employer tonight?" "I mean to the company who let me out, if I make myself clear; Spink and Company. Telephone 100,803.
At the end of the corridor he heard the closing of the door, the scraping of the key. He was afraid the detective might follow him to his room to heckle him further. To avoid that he hurried to the lower floor. He wanted to be alone. He must have time to accustom himself to this degrading fate which loomed in the too-close future.
Do you think that I would not tell you now, if I could." Heron, whose every instinct of tyranny revolted against this thwarting of his will, would have continued to heckle the prisoner even now, had not Chauvelin suddenly interposed with an authoritative gesture.
His teeth were clinched, and taking one quick step forward, he smote Heckle fair between the two eyes and felled him to the ground. "You cur!" he cried. "Get up, or I shall kick you, and hate myself ever after for doing it." Young Heckle picked himself up, cursing under his breath. "I'll settle with you, my man," he cried; "I'll get a policeman.
"Get my brother here to talk to you about Colorado, and let the audience heckle him." "We'd be delighted," laughed Miss Holland. "The lady who is to conduct the question box, which is the main thing to-night, comes from Denver. Her name is Carroll Renner; do you happen to know her? Will she be able to hold her own? Sometimes they ask pretty sharp questions."
He is going to heckle Mr. Allen to-night." The girls were keen to take in the political meeting, but Larry objected. "There will be a rough time, likely. It will be no place for ladies. We will take you to the party, then join you again after the meeting." The girls were indignant and appealed to Dr. Brown. "I think," said he, "perhaps you had better not go.
"Which of all these objections am I to answer?" he asked merrily. "Some I'm sure you don't mean." "I mean all those you can't answer. So please don't try. After all, you're not a professional explainer of the universe, that I should heckle you thus." "Oh, but I set up to be," he protested. "No, you don't. You haven't called me a blasphemer once. I'd better go before you become really professional.
Heckle him finely, and spare not; but ere ye have done wi' him, for my sake drop a word in his lug to come nae mair to Vesper. When all's said, the man is of my wife's blood and bears her name; I would not have that name publicly disgracit. They were a kindly folk, the Mitchells. I thought puirly of theem for a wastrel crew when I was young.
Young Heckle slunk away, and Lord Stansford turned to Miss Linderham, who stood looking on, speechless with horror and surprise. "What a brute you are!" she cried, her under lip quivering. "Yes," he replied quietly. "Most of us men are brutes when you take a little of the varnish off. Won't you sit down, Miss Linderham?
Lord Stansford's anxious eyes again seemed to search the rooms through which they passed, and again, on encountering those of Billy Heckle, Miss Linderham's escort shivered slightly as he passed on. The girl wondered what mystery was at the bottom of all this, and with feminine curiosity resolved to find out, even if she had to ask Lord Stansford himself.
