One gets spoiled; it's big and silent here. What should I go back to? I don't seem to realise." Scorrier thought of Hemmings. "'Tis a bit cramped there, certainly," he muttered. Pippin went on as if divining his thoughts. "I suppose our friend Hemmings would call me foolish; he's above the little weaknesses of imagination, eh? Yes; it's silent here.
Scorrier, sir who went out for us." These sentences were murmured in a way suggestive of their uncommon value. The director uncrossed his legs, and bowed. Scorrier also bowed, and Hemmings, leaning back, slowly developed the full resources of his waistcoat. "So you are going out again, Scorrier, for the other side? I tell Mr. Scorrier, sir, that he is going out for the enemy.
"She has never been seen from that hour!" "But that was only twenty-four hours ago," said Mrs Morgan; "she may have gone off to visit some of her friends." "Ah, my dear Mrs Morgan, twenty-four hours is a long time for a girl to disappear out of her own home," said Miss Hemmings; "and all her friends have been sent to, and no word can be heard of her.
To disclose the truth would be to incur Bethune's jealousy, natural indignation and too probable violence, and so the convenient idea seems to have occurred to her that by accusing Hemmings of the theft of the jewelry, she would achieve a two-fold success; namely, the one of concealing her own frailty, and the other of snatching her beloved one from a hated supposed rival.
Kale Fisher, the Famous Mazeppa, involved Manager Hemmings charged by Fast-paced Mrs. Bethune with Larceny.
Old man Hemmings is a confirmed old bachelor. He's too mean to support more than one." "And you didn't happen to know any o' that gang, did ye?" continued Bill, with infinite protraction. "Yes.

Detective John Young, of the Eighteenth Precinct Police, was next called, and deposed: I am connected with the Metropolitan Police of this city; I was sent with a requisition issued by Governor Fenton to Pittsburgh to arrest George Hemmings for grand larceny; I went there with Mr. and Mrs.

She had given them, from time to time, money obtained from Barnard's pawn office, through the instrumentality of the unfortunate Hemmings. That is the history; that is all before you, and it cannot be gainsayed.
Scorrier had hinted at excuses; for his part, with the best intentions in the world, he had great difficulty in seeing them. He would go further he did not see them! The explosion...! Pippin shrank so visibly that Hemmings seemed troubled by a suspicion that he had gone too far. "We know," he said, "that it was trying for you...." "Trying!" "burst out Pippin.
His manner to Hemmings was full of flattering courtesy; but his sly, ironical glances played on the secretary's armour like a fountain on a hippopotamus. To Scorrier, however, he could not show enough affection: The first evening, when Hemmings had gone to his room, he jumped up like a boy out of school.
