Barnes, if you consider no more than the feminine side of it. Unfortunate creatures! To be saddled with such ungainly lummixes as De Soto and me! By the way, have you heard when the coroner is to hold his inquests?" "Nothing definite. He may wait a week," said Barnes. "I suppose you'll stick around until it's all over," ventured O'Dowd. Barnes thought he detected a slight harshness in his voice.
"No, no," said the guard; "it will arrive at one but not until two. It is late, mein herr." We dozed in the little waiting-room for what I consider to be the longest hour I've ever known, and then hunted up the guard once more. He blandly informed me that it was still an hour late. "An hour from now?" I asked. "An hour from two," said he, pityingly. What ignorant lummixes we were!
It's bad business, monkeying with stray boys, ever since the Charley Ross kidnapping job last year. So you lummixes have decided to protect him, have you?
