If he'd only have put the capitals to the words 'La Tortue, I might have thought a little more about them, instead of taking it for granted that they meant that wretched tortoise in the basement of the house. Well, I've made a fool of a start, but I'll be after that nigger now." "And I, as I said before," said Hewitt, "shall be after the person that carried off Rameau's body.
"Was anything found the diamonds?" "No. He says there was money two or three five-pound notes, I believe, some small change, a watch, keys and so forth; but there's not a word of diamonds." I paused in my dressing. "Does that mean that the murderer has got them?" I asked. Hewitt pursed his lips and shook his head.
When John Hewitt took charge of anybody they were taken charge of all over; not fussily or so it was a nuisance, but just comfortably, so that every care vanished. They got off the train, into the peace and spaciousness of open country. The station was behind them, a little, neat stone station like a toy dropped down on the old-fashioned New England countryside.
Hewitt, most fervently," Telfer answered; and his looks confirmed his words. We walked in silence through the corridor, down the stairs, and out by the gates into the street. Then Plummer turned on his heel and faced Hewitt. "That man's a wrong 'un," he said, abruptly, jerking his thumb in the direction of the office we had just left. "I'll tell you about it in the cab."
"The leather case has been found, I am pleased to be able to tell you, Lord Stanway, since you left." "Empty, of course?" "Unfortunately, yes. It had evidently been thrown away by the thief behind a chimney-stack a roof or two away, where the police have found it. But it is a clue, of course." "Ah, then this gentleman will give me his opinion of it," Lord Stanway said, turning to Hewitt.
Hewitt knew nothing of the case he had to examine, and so could tell me nothing, beyond the short urgent request that he would come at once, and that the matter involved the loss of bonds to a very large amount; and he dropped me at a convenient spot, whence my walk to the hospital was but a short one.
The incident bothered me a little bit, so I went out into the woods and the Lord showed me that it was just an imposition of the devil to bother me. Brother Krutz was prayed for and the Lord healed him and the next Sunday he preached. Brother Ahrendt and I were holding some meetings in the locality between Bertha and Hewitt, Minnesota. We were staying in a log house just the two of us.
My daughter, as you have said, noticed a change in my habits from that time; my wife did more she knew the reason. Mr. Hewitt, I am an older man, but there is hotter blood in my veins than in yours. My father was English though you might scarcely suppose it but my mother, to whose name I have reverted, was a French Creole.
Cutler, do you remember when the trap-door was last opened?" Mr. Cutler shook his head. "Certainly not for six months," he said. "Ah, very well; it's not very important," Hewitt replied. As they reached the front shop a fiery-faced old gentleman bounced in at the street door, stumbling over an umbrella that stood in a dark corner, and kicking it three yards away.
Meantime the sounds of the battle rose on our extreme left more and more furious, extending to the place where I stood, at the Howard House. I had it carried inside of the Howard House, and laid on a door wrenched from its hinges. Dr. Hewitt, of the army, was there, and I asked him to examine the wound.
