A lad who can win the hearts of criminals and coax them into voluntarily returning their ill-gotten gains would be an immense asset in our business." Shaking hands all round and clapping Christopher affectionately on the shoulder, the chief went out. "Better put that ring back in the show case, Hollings," concluded Mr. Burton. "I don't need to caution you to keep an eye on it, I guess."
There's always goin' to be a big killing made in Wall Street to-morrow, only to-morrow never comes. Reminds me of Hollings's old turtle out at Spokane Hollings that keeps the Little Gem restaurant. He's got an enormous big turtle in his cellar that he's kept to my knowledge fur fifteen years.
Poor Hollings drew a breath of relief. "I know it. They've done it before. They had their pistols and a waiting motor car, and had no mind to be caught." "Then if I'd yelled from the balcony " "It would have done no good and would, perhaps, have done much harm instead. You would merely have furnished an alarm on which they would instantly have acted. As it is, we know them, and our nets are out.
We're to go down to headquarters and identify the chap." "Then it really was Stuart!" "Sure thing!" Hollings was actually trembling with joy. "Oh, I hope they'll find those diamonds on him! At least, they'll probably be able to make him tell where they are. If we can only get that ring back, I shall die happy." "So you were right after all, Christopher," McPhearson put in. "Apparently!"
"Met them before, have you?" interrogated Mr. Burton, his disapproval mollified to some degree by his pride in his son. "Oh, I know all about that pair," replied the inspector; "if they prove to be the couple I think them. No wonder your clerk failed to suspect them. They are very polished gentleman." "They were indeed, sir," Hollings put in. "They had a million-dollar air about them."
One day she all but declared her disappointment that the Mumfords saw so few people. Emmeline, repeating this to her husband, avowed a certain compunction. 'I almost feel that I deliberately misled her. You know, Clarence, in our first conversation I mentioned the Kirby Simpsons and Mrs. Hollings, and I feel sure she remembers.
Norcross were beginning to be discouraged, and feared the culprits would never be captured; even Christopher's hope of seeing his adventure brought to a favorable climax was fading. As for poor Hollings, he was another man altogether and it seemed as if he would never be able to hold his head up again.
But I like the look of it. I like this house, too. I suppose you know a lot of people here, Mrs. Mumford? 'Well no. There's only one family we know at all well. Our friends live in London. Of course they often come out here. I don't know whether you are acquainted with any of them. The Kirby Simpsons, of West Kensington; and Mrs. Hollings, of Highgate
The destinies of all of us are so entangled with other persons that there is no such thing as living only to ourselves. Consider, for example, how many individuals this Stuart came in contact with your father, yourself, Hollings, Rhinehart, and these unlucky French people. He might as well have touched those lives for good as for evil.
