To be sure, merries might be bought any day of the week at Briar Alley, and were hawked up and down Friarswood so cheaply that any one might get a mouth as purple as the black spaniel's any day in the season; but that was nothing to the fun of going with numbers, and numbers never could go except on a Sunday.
"Take the case next," Sir Richard continued, "of my friend Merries here. Merries is an Earl, it is true, but he never had a penny to bless himself with. He's tried acting, reporting, marrying anything to make an honest living. So far, I am afraid we must consider Lord Merries as something of a failure, eh?" "A rotten failure, I should say," that young nobleman declared gloomily.
"See you this evening." "Right O!" Merries replied, with a brave effort. Peter Ruff, summoned by telephone from his sitting room, slipped down the stairs like a cat noiseless, swift. The voice which had summoned him had been the voice of his secretary a voice almost unrecognisable a voice shaken with fear. Fear? No, it had been terror!
Then the pitcher tried some wide ones on the big first baseman of the Merries. Bruce had a good eye, and he let the wide ones pass. Two balls were called. Bender attempted to curve one over, but missed the plate by fully six inches. "Three balls!" came from Carker. "Smash it if he puts one over!" called Frank. Browning gripped his bat and stood ready. The crowd was silent and breathless.
Muttering to himself, the captain of the Rovers walked in from the field. Things simmered down at once. At last the visiting players and the sympathizing crowd of thugs realized that the sentiment of the crowd would not tolerate such conduct as McCann's. The Merries were not frightened by it, and Frank had prepared to quell any outbreak of ruffianism.
"I still do not see," Peter Ruff argued, "why you should have brought him here and deposited him upon my perfectly new carpet." "You are Peter Ruff," Merries declared. "'Crime Investigator and Private Detective, you call yourself. You are used to this sort of thing. You will know what to do with it. It is part of your business."
These Dust-heaps are a wonderful compound of things. A banker's cheque for a considerable sum was found in one of them. It was on Merries & Farquhar, in 1847. But bankers' cheques, or gold and silver articles, are the least valuable of their ingredients. Among other things, a variety of useful chemicals are extracted. Their chief value, however, is for the making of bricks.
"Der ball meant to strike me twice as far as dot." There was great anxiety on both sides as Bart Hodge walked out. "You can dood it, Hotch!" shouted Hans. Bart smashed the second ball pitched him, driving it out on a line. Little Bob Bubbs thrust out his left mitt, and the ball spanked into it. It stuck there. The game was over, and Sparkfair's team had defeated the Merries by a single run.
'I do want to be good, sighed Harold. 'If I'd only been confirmed; but 'twas all along of them merries last summer! 'And I was such a plague to you I drove you out, said Alfred. 'No, no, I was a brute to you! Oh! Alfy, Alfy, if I could only get back the time!
Der ball was chust gittin' control uf me ven he tookt me oudt." Farnham Hall did not score in the first half of the ninth. Diamond was the first batter up for the Merries, and he laced out a clean single. "That's the stuff!" cried Frank. "Only three scores! We'll get 'em right here!" Browning lifted a fly to left field, and Bemis scooped it. Diamond reached second.
