As I could not prevent that without telling them what we have to dread, I did not protest against it; but if you think it will be safer to return them to the safe after my daughters have gone to bed, Mr. Narkom " "Not at all necessary. If our man gets in, their lying there in full view like that will prove a tempting bait, and well, he'll find there's a hook behind it.
As blue as what Dollops calls the 'Merry Geranium Sea. I'd give a Jew's eye for a handful of those apple blossoms they are divine!" Narkom hastened from the room without replying. The strain of poetry underlying the character of this strange, inscrutable man, his amazing love of Nature, his moments of almost womanish weakness and sentiment, astonished and mystified him.
"That some time you'll come for the guv'ner to investigate a crime wot's been committed in a cookshop, sir and then, wot ho! But," he added lugubriously, "they never comes to no violent end, them food-selling jossers; they always dies in their beds like a parcel of heathen!" Narkom made no reply.
"Well, to make a long story short, my dear Cleek," went on Narkom, "the household was roused, the door of the duchess's room was found to be both locked and bolted on the inside so securely that, all other efforts to open it proving unavailing, an axe had to be procured and the barrier hacked down.

"And that'll be as soon as Dollops can pack my things and get 'em off to the station." The question of packing was a very small matter altogether, and it was barely seven o'clock when, this finished, Cleek and Mr.
