The colonel had something on his lips to say, but swallowed it. "We'll meet here to-night at eleven. I told Lollie to come. Now, Crewe," he said in a more gentle tone, "you're in this up to the neck, and you've got to go through with it. After all, your life and liberty are at stake as much as ours. If Lollie's played us false, we've got to be "
Maybe Lollie's speaking the truth, but it is just as likely she's lying. I'm not going to take your corroboration, you know, Crewe," he said. "We've got to depend on her word. There's nobody else can speak for her, is there?" Before Crewe could speak the colonel was answered: "Jack o' Judgment! Poor old Jack o' Judgment! He'll speak for Lollie!" The colonel looked up with a curse.
Thyme! Well, well, Mr. Fayre, do you raise thyme in your kitchen garden? No? What a pity! But, luckily, I have time right here!" He took up Lollie's watch. "Ah, just, the thing!" He threw the watch in the hat, and began to beat it with his heavy fork. He looked anxiously in the hat. "Wants to be crushed," he said; "can't get the flavour of time unless it's crushed.
She's at a little place at Putney Heath, a house I took specially for her, surrounded by loving guardians " "Like Pinto?" asked the man, looking down at the silent Silva. "Like Lollie. Now you can't deny that Lollie's a very nice girl," said the colonel. "Sit down, Solomon, and talk things over." "When I've got my girl I'll talk things over with you. Where is this place?"
"I know she has been trying to get out of the country, to break with the gang, but that she has given you or any of us away is a lie. Lollie's had a rotten life, and she's just sick of it, that's all. Do you blame her?"
It was a very ordinary clerk's office, with a small counter, the flap of which was raised. Inside the flap he saw something white on the floor, and, stooping, picked it up. It was a lady's handkerchief. "L," he read. "That sounds like Lollie. Do you know this, Crewe?" Crewe took the handkerchief and nodded. "That is Lollie's," he said shortly. "I thought so.
"That gentleman business is played out, Crewe," stormed the colonel, "and I'm just about tired of hearing what you won't do and what you will do! If Lollie's put us away, she has got to go through it." "What use will it be, supposing she has?" said the other doggedly. "I don't for a moment believe she has done anything of the sort. But suppose she has given you away, what are you going to do?
