"You did read my letter." I laughed; laughed out loud, it was such a bully thing to watch Moriway's face. But that was an unlucky laugh of mine; it turned his wrath on me. He made a dive toward me. I ducked and ran. Oh, how I ran! But if he hadn't slipped on the curb he'd have had me. As he fell, though, he let out a yell. "Stop thief! stop thief! Thief! Thief! Thief!"
An electric light strung on the tree above the table shone out, and there I stood under it with Moriway's eyes full upon me. "Great !" he began. "Just ring again " Mr. Latimer's voice came soft as silk. My fingers trembled so, the bell clattered out of them and fell jangling to the ground. But it rang. And the light above me went out like magic. I fell back into a garden chair.
She caught hold of my coat. But Lordy! I didn't want to get away a little bit. I let her pull me in, and then I backed up against the door and shut it. "Diamonds! Oh, no, ma'am. I hope I'm not a thief. But but it was something you dropped this." I fished Moriway's letter out of my pocket and handed it to her. The poor old lady! Being a bell-boy you know just how old ladies really are.
Moriway, gentlemen don't swear in my garden. Particularly when ladies are present. Shall we say good evening? Here comes Mulhill now.... Nothing, Sergeant? Too bad the rogue escaped, but you'll catch him. They may get away from you, but they never stay long, do they? Good evening good evening, Mr. Moriway." They tramped on and out, Moriway's very back showing his rage.
It's only a a little business matter that Mr. Moriway's attending to for me. We we'll finish it up this afternoon. I shouldn't like Miss Kingdon to know of it, because because I never like to worry her about business, you know. So don't mention it when she comes to-morrow." "No'm. Shall I fasten your dress?" I simply had to stay in that room till I could get rid of those diamonds.
