He opened the clock-case with some difficulty, and pushed the longer hand to the figure of half-past three. The clock struck eleven! "Good," cried M. Lecoq, triumphantly. "That is the truth!" and drawing the lozenge-box from his pocket, he excitedly crushed a lozenge between his teeth.
They had enough to do to catch the regular wild animals, and these at last they found in some number. They were all seized, and with difficulty put into a wooden lozenge-box. There was great delight; there must be all; the ark surely could have held no more. Lions, tigers, leopards, panthers, lynxes, wildcats, all the animals necessary for a respectable ark, all in twos.
As everyone was getting up, he took the opportunity to offer M. Plantat his lozenge-box. "Monsieur perhaps uses them?" Plantat, unwilling to decline, appropriated a lozenge, and the detective's face became again serene. Public sympathy was necessary to him, as it is to all great comedians. M. Lecoq was the first to reach the staircase, and the spots of blood at once caught his eye.
Meanwhile he had taken out his lozenge-box, and was intrusting a hundred secrets to the portrait. "Well," said the doctor, "there remains nothing more to be done except to retire." "I was just going to ask permission to do so," said M. Lecoq. "I have been fasting ever since morning." M. Plantat now took a bold step. "Shall you return to Paris to-night, Monsieur Lecoq?" asked he, abruptly.
Farebrother, seeing her small sister moving about the furniture-legs distressfully, "what is the matter?" "I have lost my tortoise-shell lozenge-box. I fear the kitten has rolled it away," said the tiny old lady, involuntarily continuing her beaver-like notes. "Is it a great treasure, aunt?" said Mr. Farebrother, putting up his glasses and looking at the carpet. "Mr.
His eyes opened; he fumbled with his lozenge-box, said "Good morning," and went on up the pier. I watched him go English-Americano- Germano-Franco-Prussian-Russian-Chinese-New Zealander that he was. But he was not a man of genius; you could choke him off by talking.
It is clear that Guespin, if he is not an accomplice, at least knew something about the crime." M. Lecoq had recourse to the portrait in the lozenge-box. It was more than a glance, it was a confidence. He evidently said something to the dear defunct, which he dared not say aloud. "I see that Guespin is seriously compromised," resumed he. "Why didn't he want to tell where he passed the night?
The beasts in the lozenge-box were easily disposed of, for it had a sliding cover, which was dexterously raised high enough to let the beasts all into the squirrel-cage. Then handy Tim Stubbs punched a hole in the bandbox opposite to the entrance of the squirrel-cage, and one by one the leopards and the rest were allowed to make their way into the wiry prison.
Last holidays you licked the paint off my lozenge-box, and the holidays before that you let the boat drag my fish-line down when I'd set you to watch it, and you pushed your head through my kite, all for nothing." "But I didn't mean," said Maggie; "I couldn't help it." "Yes, you could," said Tom, "if you'd minded what you were doing.
It was the tortoise-shell lozenge-box, and Dorothea felt the color mounting to her cheeks. "Mr. Ladislaw," continued the timid little woman.
