At Paragon Station he soon singled out Beamish from Merriman's description. "Sorry for asking you to come in, Captain Beamish," he apologized, "but I was anxious if possible to get back to London tonight I heard of you from Miss Coburn and Mr. Merriman, both of whom read of the tragedy in the papers, and severally came to make inquiries at the Yard.
You'll find a sheet and blankets inside. There's a board underneath that turns up to keep you in if she's rolling; not that we shall want it until we get to the Mediterranean. I'm afraid," he went on, answering Merriman's unspoken thought, "the place is not very tidy. I hadn't time to do much squaring I'll tell you about that later.
Merriman's return from a meeting of the Council to which he had been hastily summoned. Hearing a footstep, he looked up, and was surprised to see, instead of Mr. Merriman, as he expected, Bulger hastening up with an air of excitement. "Mr. Burke, sir, what d'you think I've seed? I could hardly believe my own eyes. I was walkin' down towards the fort when I seed two men goin' into a big house.
Walking very slowly until they had safely cleared the lines of the investing troops, the two hurried their pace and about half-past eight reached the Armenian godown. The three boats containing Mr. Merriman's goods were moored at the ghat. A number of men were on board, and bales were still being carried down by the light of torches.
Among the large native population of Bombay there were many who were suspected of being secret agents of the French, and as Diggle was well provided with funds it was not at all unlikely that his jailer had been tampered with. Merriman's wrath was very bitter. He had been waiting for years, as he told Desmond, for the punishment of Peloti.
Zenobia, it appeared, knew not only Merriman's Head, but every rock, down to the smallest and farthest in the Off Islands, where these creatures nested. She spoke to them of the island from which Annet took her name a low-lying ridge to the west of St. Ann's, curved like a snake, in nesting-time sheeted with pink thrift.
We may have to come back, and it would furnish us with an excuse for our presence if we were seen." Hilliard gave a little sigh of relief. Merriman's reply took a weight off his mind, not because of the value of the SUGGESTION though in its way it was quite useful but because of its indication of Merriman's frame of mind.
Merriman's voice being thus so suddenly confirmed, he recalled, as from a far distant past, a scene upon Hounslow Heath; a coach that stood perilously near the ditch, a girl at the horses' heads, a lady stamping her foot at two servants wrestling in drunken stupidity on the ground. "You never gave us an opportunity of thanking you," continued Mrs. Merriman. "'Twas not kind of you, Mr.
The light was dim, and Coja Solomon was old. "Good evening, Khwaja," said Desmond quietly. The man jumped as if shot. "No, don't get up, and don't make a noise. My business with you will not take long. I will ask you to hand over Mr. Merriman's dastaks. I know that they are in your possession. I have come to get them, and to take away the goods Mr. Merriman's goods."
The lid was slowly raised, and to his intense relief he was able to stand upright and greet Hilliard crouching without. "Any news?" queried the latter in the faintest of whispers. "Absolutely none. Not a single thing came out of that boat but props. I had a splendid view all the time. Except this, Hilliard" Merriman's whisper became more intense "They suspect us and are trying to trace us."
