He believed her word without question; and his relief made him very tender. Gradually, the sobs ceased. She leaned against his arm. "I'm tired, father," she whispered. "Poor little girl. We'll sit down." There was a seat at the end of the terrace. McEachern picked Molly up as if she had been a baby, and carried her to it. She gave a little cry.
Chames?" he whispered. "No; you can go, Spike." "Ye stay where y'are, ye red-headed limb." "Run along, Spike!" said Jimmy. The Bowery boy looked doubtfully at the huge form of the ex-policeman, which blocked access to the door. "Would you mind letting my man pass?" said Jimmy. "Ye stay " began McEachern. Jimmy got up, and walked round him to the door, which he opened.
Guilty or innocent, the first thing a man does when, he finds handcuffs on his wrists is to try to get them off. The action is automatic. Mr. McEachern strained at the steel chain till the veins stood out on his forehead. His great body shook with rage. The detective eyed these efforts with some satisfaction.
You'll be getting brain fever." Jimmy himself was feeling particularly cheerful. He was deriving a keen amusement at present from the manoeuvres of Mr. Samuel Galer, of New York. This lynx-eyed man, having been instructed by Mr. McEachern to watch Jimmy, was doing so with a pertinacity which would have made a man with the snowiest of consciences suspicious.
But I reassured him, and he cheered up, and we walked back to the house together, as happy as could be." McEachern put his hand round her shoulders. She winced, but let it stay. He attempted gruff conciliation. "My dear, you've been imagining things. Of course, he isn't happy. Why, I saw the young fellow "
Nobody minds them. You see, the presents are so valuable that it would be silly to risk losing them." "And are there not valuable things here," asked McEachern triumphantly, "which it would be silly to risk losing? And Sir Thomas is coming to-day with his wife. And you know what a deal of jewelry she always takes about her." "Oh, Julia!" said Lady Jane, a little disdainfully.
"Proofs! Will you deny it?" "No. It's quite true." "I knew it." "But I'm a reformed character, now, Mr. McEachern. I have money of my own. It was left me. I hear you had money left you, too." "I did," said McEachern shortly. "Congratulate you. I'm glad I know, because otherwise I might have formed quite a wrong impression when I came here and found you with money to burn.
Sir: With ref'ce to my last of the 28th ult., I should be glad if you would send down immediately one of your best men. Am making arrangements to receive him. Shall be glad if you will instruct him as follows, viz. I shall then recognize him as old New York friend, and move his baggage from above inn to the abbey. Yours faithfully, P. McEACHERN. P.S. Kindly not send a rube, but a real smart man.
"Eh? Well, here I am." "Just so, your lordship. Miss McEachern entrusted me with this note to deliver to you in the event of her not being h'able to see you before dinner personally, your lordship." "Right ho. Thanks." He started to go upstairs, opening the envelope as he went. What could the girl be writing to him about?
There's really no reason on earth why we should be at one another's throats in this way. We might just as well be friends. Let's shake, and call the fight off. I guess you know why I came in here to see you?" McEachern did not speak. "You know that your daughter has broken off her engagement to Lord Dreever?" "Then, he was right!" said McEachern, half to himself. "It is you?" Jimmy nodded.
