He was on the verge of making inquiries as to this shortly before the afternoon performance, when, as he walked across the circus lot, he saw a man who had been with the circus the previous season as a juggler. The man was standing near a motor-cycle, and neither looked particularly prepossessing.
"You're all right in good hands," said Mr. Swift. "Are you much hurt?" "Not much mostly stunned, I guess. What happened?" he repeated. "You and your motor-cycle tried to climb a tree," remarked Tom with grim humor. "Oh, yes, I remember now. I couldn't seem to steer out of the way. And I couldn't shut off the power in time. Is the motor-cycle much damaged?"
The lad lighted match after match, and made a rapid tour of the shed. The motor-cycle was not to be seen. But what puzzled Tom more than anything else was how he had been brought from the church shed to the one where he had awakened from his stupor. "Let me try to think," said the boy, speaking aloud, for it seemed to help him.
Lizzie did not get out again, and Joe went through his turn successfully, though he did not quite equal his former endurance. "I must be out in the air more and increase my breathing capacity," he decided. "The motor-cycle for me!" Joe's life was now a busy one busier even than when he had traveled about with Professor Rosello.
"All right," answered Tom non-committally. "Go ahead. It's a free country." He stood his motor-cycle up against a tree and went toward a group of persons who were surrounding the auctioneer. The time had arrived to start the sale. As Tom edged in closer he brushed against a man who looked at him sharply.
When Tommy indulges in the use of the French language, he abbreviates it as much as possible. One hot summer's day, driving from Boulogne to Fort Mahon, halfway down a steep hill we came upon two Tommies endeavouring to extract a motor-cycle and a side-car from a somewhat difficult position. They had side-slipped and run into a small tree.
There had mounted in him, as he rode through the damp night on his motor-cycle, such an inexplicable and intense exhilaration, that this ugly hall which was at the end of his journey, with its stone corridors in which a stream of people wearing mackintoshes and carrying umbrellas made sad, noises with their feet, seemed an anti-climax.
Frank Langdon jumped off his motor-cycle as he shouted these words, and there was a scurrying among the other three boys, who had gathered at the house of Will, which had been mentioned as a place of meeting. Each motor-cycle had numerous small packages secured about it after the individual fancy of the owner.
Chief-inspector, a personal investigation and a most exhaustive investigation it was, as I will explain to you presently has revealed the fact that, on his return from Suresnes, the murderer, after replacing the motor-cycle in the shed in the Avenue du Roule, ran to the Ternes and entered this house." "This house?" "Yes." "But what did he come here for?"
A distracted squeeze, a heavy sigh, and soon after sounds from the young man's motor-cycle called up visions of flying dust and broken bones. 'The younger generation! he thought heavily, and went out on to the lawn. The gardeners had been mowing, and there was still the smell of fresh-cut grass the thundery air kept all scents close to earth. The sky was of a purplish hue the poplars black.
