Lauriston, almost out of breath with excitement, turned and pointed to the open door of the little parlour. "There's an old man lying in there dead!" he whispered. "A grey-bearded old man is it the pawn-broker Mr. Multenius?" The man stared, craned his neck to glance in the direction which Lauriston's shaking finger indicated, and then started forward.
"I might want to let you know something." "Great Western Hotel," answered Purdie. "I shall stay there until Lauriston's return, and until this matter's entirely cleared up, as far as he's concerned. Come there, if you want me. All right," he continued, as he and Melky walked away from the police-station. "They took my word for it! they'll do nothing until Lauriston comes back.
Then he turned to Zillah with another set of questions. "How long have you known the last witness Andrew Lauriston?" he enquired. "Since one day last week," replied Zillah. She had flushed at the mention of Lauriston's name, and Mr. Parminter was quick to see it. "How did you get to know him?" he continued. "By his coming to the shop on business." "To pawn his watch, I believe?" "Yes."
Meanwhile the Russians on the allied left barely kept off Lauriston's onsets, and on that side the day ended in a drawn fight. Macdonald, however, seeing Lauriston's rear threatened by the advance of the Prussians over the Katzbach, retreated during the night with all his forces.
He used to have a shop, years ago, in the City I'm not quite sure where, exactly and this is part of the stock he brought from it. But, how could Mr. Lauriston's rings bear those marks? Because, from what I know of the trade, those are private marks my grandfather's private marks!" "Well, just so and you can imagine what our people are inclined to say about it," said the detective.
As she supposed, it was from Lauriston, and had been handed in at Peebles at eleven o'clock that morning. "Got necessary information returning at once meet me at King's Cross at nine-twenty this evening. Zillah looked at her watch. It was then ten minutes to nine. There was just half an hour before Lauriston's train was due.
The emperor also often asked if the telegraph had not yet announced the approach of the French squadron; his adjutant, Lauriston, was with the squadron, and the emperor seemed only to be awaiting Lauriston's arrival and a favorable wind, in order to set sail. "The eight days' absence accorded me by my husband had expired, and I took leave of the emperor. I journeyed through Calais and Dunkirk.
As Lauriston's instructions purported that he was to address himself to no one but Kutusoff, he peremptorily rejected any intermediate communication; and seizing, as he said, this occasion for breaking off a negotiation which he disapproved, he retired, in spite of all the solicitations of Wolkonsky, with the intention of returning to Moscow.
Meanwhile the Russians on the allied left barely kept off Lauriston's onsets, and on that side the day ended in a drawn fight. Macdonald, however, seeing Lauriston's rear threatened by the advance of the Prussians over the Katzbach, retreated during the night with all his forces.
With the help of Lauriston's corps, he again slowly pressed on, began to envelop the allies' right, and threatened to cut off their retreat. Blücher was also furiously assailed by Marmont and Bertrand.
