We have the evidence of his law-breaking here," and I pointed to the bottles that we had placed on the table. They did not move, however, and I think they rather considered the whole thing a joke. We proceeded to describe the East River Hotel and similar resorts that a few days previously had been described as immaculately clean by the captain of the precinct.
One of them was obtrusively a clergyman that is to say, he was cased in a frock-coat that flapped against his calves, wore a white necktie, and carried a book under his arm. Dodd was attired immaculately in gray, and as he walked he whipped a thin cane nervously. They began to stroll soon after they had hurried past the stoop, and were sauntering leisurely when they turned into Rose Alley.
Warmth lay in that room, and a conservative mahogany elegance a great mahogany double bed, immaculately covered in white, with a large monogram heavily hand-embroidered in its center; a mahogany swell-front dresser, with a Honiton lace cover and a precise outlay of monogramed silver. Over it a gilt-framed French engraving with "Maternal Love" writ in elegant script beneath.
As instinctively P. Sybarite bristled between the two. "Well?" he snapped at the intruder. An impatient gesture of a hand immaculately gloved in white abolished him completely as far, at least, as the other was concerned. "Ah Miss Lessing, I believe?" The voice was strong and musical but poisoned with a malicious triumph that grated upon the nerves of P. Sybarite; he declined to be abolished.
Craig and Clare, who were slightly ahead of me, turned quickly into a little alcove, or reception room and Craig placed a chair for her. Farther down the corridor I could see the office, and beyond a large main dining-room from which strains of music came and now and then the buzz of conversation and laughter from gay parties at the immaculately white tables.
"Where is the woman whose ring was found on that man there in the chair? And where is the package that you two men had with you in the taxicab to-night?" Jimmie Dale glanced from the tall, straight, immaculately clothed figure of the speaker, from the threatening smile on the set lips that just showed under the edge of the mask, to the dead man in the chair.
In one a children's party pretty children in white, girls with great tails of dark hair they were pulling crackers and all wore coloured paper hats next door in a room with chintz covered European furniture and photographs, a pretty girl just a little dark, played a concertina to an immaculately dressed youth, who twirled the latest thing in straw hats.
As they passed down the steps, a slim young man, dressed immaculately in the height of fashion, came tripping up to them and addressed Miss Annabel in the most abjectly polite manner. "Good morning, Mr. Wilbur," said the lady coldly, "I am sure you must welcome Sunday. I suppose you are working so hard these days."
If it were the master to whom you wished to pay your respects, one glance at the Honorable Howard Douglass Seymour would have convinced you that he was precisely the kind of man who should have had charge of so well-ordered a home: so well brushed was he so clean-shaven so immaculately upholstered the two points of his collar pinching his cheeks at the same precise angle; his faultless black stock fitting to perfection, the lapels of his high-rolled coat matching exactly.
He seemed fairly to bubble whenever he came into her presence, never to have any cause for depression or gloom such as sometimes seized on her when she was alone. He was always immaculately dressed, and had great affairs, so her mother said. They discussed him once at table at Daleview, and Mrs. Dale said she thought he was charming.
