I believe he moved here yesterday." "Oh, that feller!" The woman started inside. "Wait a minute," she said crossly, and shut the door in their faces. While they stood waiting, Leverage glanced keenly up and down the street, and his eye lighted on the muscular figure of Cartwright, the plainclothes man, shivering in the partial shelter of an alley across the way.
Destructive to the forest is the passage of a troop of elephants! Small trees he can tear up with his trunk alone, but to the larger ones he applies the more powerful leverage of his tusks.
So the "good fellow" did catch hold, but he was too experienced an eel-fisher to try to lift a couple of dozen pounds weight of eels out of the water by a perpendicular string; so he tied it to a flax-bush near, and, stooping down in order to get some leverage over the bank, very soon drew the ball, with its slimy, wriggling captives, out of the water.
This mighty moral leverage obtained, the whole substratum of society will be raised to a higher level. The mothers of America fought the late war through to its glorious end. They sustained the army by their labor, their sympathy, their heroic devotion. The mothers of India are keeping the idols on their pedestals." Personal accidents in India were minor and amusing, mostly.
Leverage looked up with pleasure at the sound of relief in his friend's voice "Leverage?" "Yes?" "You say this case is mine absolutely? To handle as I see fit?" "Yes." "You agree that we have enough against William Barker to arrest him?" "Gosh I said that the first day we met him." "You also agree that he knows whatever connection the Lawrences have with the Warren murder?" "I do."
He inserted it in a crevice of the door and, leaning his weight upon it, obtained an irresistible leverage. There was a slight crack, and it swung inwards as the screws of the hasp drew. The two men stepped within and, closing the door, stood absolutely still for a matter of ten minutes. Not a sound betrayed that their burglarious entry had alarmed any one.
He did not yet essay the short, stiff-legged action of the typical bucker, but made long, reaching, low-headed plunges, seeking his own freedom in that way, perhaps half in some equine wonder of his own. None the less the wrenching of the girl's back, the leverage on her flexed knee, unprotected, were unmistakable. The horse reared again and yet again, high, striking out as she checked him.
Instantly the mind of the detective leaped to the tragic figure of Naomi Lawrence. "She wants to see me?" he questioned. "Yes, sir." "Show her in." He motioned to Leverage to remain. The orderly disappeared and in a minute, the door opened and a woman entered. Carroll sprang to his feet with an exclamation of surprise. "Miss Gresham!" Hazel Gresham nodded. She advanced toward Carroll.
"What'cha do, kid?" "What?" "Moe, what did this kid sell you?" "You and your rusty jacks," grunted Moe. "Jimmy James here told us how to put a long hunk of pipe on the handle." "Jimmy James, who taught you about leverage?" demanded the driver suspiciously. Jimmy Holden believed that he was in the presence of an educated man. "Archimedes," he said solemnly, giving it the proper pronunciation.
Well then, if we must!" but sit always still. Nowhere in Political Mechanics have I seen such a Problem as this of hoisting to their feet the heavy-bottomed Dutch. The cunningest leverage, every sort of Diplomatic block-and-tackle, Carteret and Stair themselves running over to help in critical seasons, is applied; to almost no purpose.
