Trent turned to the inspector, who met his eye with a look of answering intelligence. Not sorry to show his understanding of the line of inquiry opened by Trent, Mr. Murch for the first time put a question: "Then you left him telephoning by the open window, with the lights on, and the drinks on the table; is that it?" "That is so, Mr. Murch."
Edward Eggleston Murch not overmuch genuine urbanity. Urbanity of the surface he had, of course; he called on it at need in very much the same way that he called on his stenographer. But of true courtesy or consideration Mr. Murch's makeup was singularly and flawlessly free.
Murch that things could not have turned out better if he had ordered them himself. "Gunterson is the very man for our purposes," he said. "He's a stuffed shirt if there ever was one. I couldn't have made a better appointment for us myself. We can bleed the Guardian of every desirable agent they've got, and he won't know how to stop us." And Mr.
Do you feel as I do, Murch, about all this; that it is very, very strange and baffling? 'That's how it looks, agreed the inspector. 'And now, said Trent, rising to his feet, 'I'll leave you to your meditations, and take a look at the bedrooms. Perhaps the explanation of all this will suddenly burst upon you while I am poking about up there.
Belknap signified that he had succeeded in his task of securing on satisfactory terms a purchaser for the Salamander, and if the necessary executives of that company would be in Mr. Murch's office at two-thirty that afternoon, he would bring the contracts for signature.

That particular make of revolver is common enough in England.
Not more than twenty persons came to it mostly prosperous farmers or lumbermen, who intended to buy the place as a speculation if it should go at a low price. The old Squire was not there; he had gone to Portland the day before; but Addison went over, as he had planned, and Willis Murch and I went with him.
"You'll know in a moment, because, unless I'm wrong, the boy is bringing Belknap's card now." The boy entered with the card in question. "Ask them to come in," said Mr. Murch. O'Connor stood looking out the window.
The old clearing was, as I have said, a great place for foxes; and the preceding fall Addison and I, wishing to add to the fund we were accumulating for our expenses when we should go away to college, had entered into a kind of partnership with Willis Murch to do a little trapping up there. Addison and I were little more than silent partners, however; Willis actually tended the traps.
Manderson had dressed himself fully before going out there, but he forgot his false teeth. Now how could a suicide who dressed himself to make a decent appearance as a corpse forget his teeth? 'That last argument hadn't struck me, admitted Mr. Murch. 'There's something in it. But on the strength of the other points, which had occurred to me, I am not considering suicide.
