These boys wass ver' reckless. With all these motors and trains life is risky, the streets too, are dangerous. You never know with these boys." He stopped as Hilbert Torrington drew the telephone toward him. "What are you going to do?" "Ring up the Police, my friend. You will be charged with conspiracy and intent to murder." Van Diest's little eyes glittered threateningly.
Nor could Richard resist the temptation of lifting an exultant cry of, "Good-night, gentlemen," ere he was seized by Auriole and hurried down the stairs. As they passed through the front garden and ran stumbling toward the waiting car they could hear above them the sound of curses and hammer blows echoing through the house. Hilbert Torrington was first to arrive.
A portion of the wave, and an immense mass of spray, dashed up on board the ship, and a quantity equal to several barrels of water came down upon the stairs where Hilbert was ascending. The poor fellow was almost strangled by the shock. He however clung manfully to the rope railing, and as soon as he recovered his breath he came back into the cabin.
"Gentlemen, it's come to our ears that a certain Mr. Barraclough is taking grave risks tonight to get home." Cranbourne flashed an eye at the bedroom door. "Go on!" he said. "Talk straight, man." Hilbert Torrington held up a hand. "One minute," he suggested. "I imagine Mr. Hipps is reluctant to speak out before so many witnesses. It would be better perhaps if Mr.
He also subscribed himself, and then drew both the tickets. He gave one of them to Mr. Chauncy, and the other he kept himself; and then the two friends walked away. Mr. Chauncy's ticket was 66, the number immediately below that which Hilbert had drawn. Mr. Chauncy, being now tired of walking, went to sit down upon one of the settees next to where Hilbert and Rollo had just gone to take a seat. Mr.
"Well," said her husband, "I am going." "I wish you could tell me something about Hilbert," said the lady. "I feel very anxious about him. I am afraid that he will get into some trouble. He is so careless." "O, no," said her husband. "Don't disturb yourself about him. He's safe enough somewhere, I dare say." So saying, the gentleman went away.
Madame Hilbert and the forewoman in Great Titchfield Street consulted each other only when crises occurred; the girls knew that if Madame came to the doorway, saying, "Miss Rabbit, just half a second, please," and the forewoman was absent for half an hour, then some matter of supreme importance was being discussed.
As for Hilbert, there were no bounds to the vexation and anger which he experienced in the failure of all his hopes and expectations. "What a miserable fool I was!" said he. "I might have had that very ticket. He as good as offered to exchange with me. Such a stupid dolt as I was, not to know when it was upside down!
"O, no," said Hilbert, "I can't go at all. Go tell her I can't come." Rollo was greatly astonished at receiving such a message as this from a boy to his mother. "Hilbert," said his father, in a very stern and threatening manner, "go to your mother directly." "No," said Hilbert, in a sort of begging and whining tone. "No. If I do, she'll make me stay there all the afternoon."
Close upon his heels was Hugo Van Diest, smiling ingratiatingly and bowing to the company. Hilbert Torrington rose and returned the courtesy. "An unexpected pleasure, gentlemen. And what precisely do you want?" "I guess it's a talk to the man who shoots the bull in the ring," Hipps replied, and added: "That substitute trick has exploded and the chap who pulled it has done a guy." Mr.
