"Not quite, because we shall have lessons when we get there," corrected Nora. "Well, at any rate it'll be ever so much nicer than being in London." "Hurrah for the old Manor!" shouted Marjorie Butler, clapping her hands. Miss Russell had indeed been much alarmed by the sanitary inspector's report.
The fact remains that they went out after De Bar and died. I am not superstitious, but I am beginning to think that DeBar is more than a match for any one man. What do you say? Will you go with Moody, or " "I'll go alone, with your permission," said Philip. The inspector's voice at once fell into its formal tone of command. "Then you may prepare to leave at once," he said.
The inspector's reply was merely to warn the prisoner that anything he said might be used in evidence against him at his trial. "He had nothing whatever to do with it he knows nothing about it," protested the girl. "If you let him go I'll tell you who murdered Sir Horace." "Who murdered him?" asked the inspector. "Hill," was the reply.
"Quest," he said, "I'll have to ask you a question." "Why not?" Quest replied, looking quickly up. "Where were you at eleven-fifteen?" "On tower Number 10 of the New York Central, scrapping for my life," Quest answered grimly. "I've reason to remember it." Something in the Inspector's steady gaze seemed to inspire the criminologist suddenly with a new idea.
However, the beautiful Norman felt afraid of appearing timid, and so one day she herself went to the inspector's office and sat down on the second chair, while Muche was having his writing lesson. She proved very suave and complimentary, and Florent was by far the more embarrassed of the two.
At the time, this fall did not seem of much consequence; but it was rendered fatal, the doctors say, by the presence of some internal complaint, and the man's own habit of drinking. The large dark eyes, gazing straight into the inspector's face, dilated a little. Otherwise there was no motion perceptible to his experienced observation.
However, by whatever name he called himself, or others called him, he understood his business, and so effectually watched the young lady that he discovered her frequent absences to be for the purpose of meeting a man who, after walking some distance with her, managed, despite the inspector's boasted abilities, to give him the slip.
"If you had had an inspector's brains you would have easily guessed it." The Frenchman's resentment proved very useful to me, because he related the circumstance to everybody. The result was that from that time those who wanted the patronage of the senator applied to me.
"Well, I suppose we can do no more tonight. I have little else to tell you " "The skull the ivory skull!" put in Furneaux. For an instant an expression of annoyance flitted across the chief inspector's good-humored face. Theydon did not see it, because Furneaux's odd-sounding words caused him to look with astonishment at the man who uttered them. "An ivory skull!" he cried.
It struck him as peculiarly significant, now that he had suffered no injury in the short struggle on the trail, that no threats or intimidation had been offered after his capture. This was a part of the game which he was to play! He became more and more certain of it as the minutes passed, and there occurred to him again and again the inspector's significant words, "Whatever happens!"
