But what on earth's up, mother?" Her lips shut closely. "Remember, nine-thirty!" She turned and went back into the darkness of the Gallery. Arthur hesitated a moment in the passage outside. Then he turned back toward the little entrance-room opposite the entrance to the ordinary Ladies' Gallery, where he found another attendant. "Is Miss Glenwilliam here?" he inquired, carelessly.
The other is: 'Inspector Stanley Hopkins, 46 Lord Street, Brixton. Come breakfast to-morrow at nine-thirty. Important. Wire if unable to come. Sherlock Holmes. There, Watson, this infernal case has haunted me for ten days. I hereby banish it completely from my presence. To-morrow, I trust that we shall hear the last of it forever."
He looked at his watch. "The limited leaves at nine-thirty. That gives me nearly an hour." "You're not going to-night?" "I'm going to-night. I must, dear. Those are the orders and I've got to obey them." "But suppose I give you different orders. Surely I have some rights, to-night of all nights. Why, we haven't been engaged ten minutes. Business doesn't always come first." James hesitated.
And a fat boy rolled out of a second-story window in the Princess flats, but caromed off on an awnin' and wasn't hurt. Also a few young hicks started some rough stuff when the ice-cream freezers were opened, but a squad of Junior Naval League boys soon put a crimp in that. And when we had to leave, along about nine-thirty, it was as gay a scene as was ever staged on any West Side block, bar none.
"But you have told me nothing of it! If you had told me But not one word, my dear." "When one is with a woman !" He seemed gloomily and hopelessly to reproach her. "What o'clock your train?" "Nine-thirty." "But you can catch it. You must catch it." He shook his head. "It's fate," he muttered, bitterly resigned. "What is written is written."
I needn't say that what happened I mean the thing that made me forget all about Jevons and his half-crown was Viola Thesiger. I had his address, but the next day the day after the match was Sunday, so I couldn't get the postal order I had meant to send him. And on Monday she walked into my rooms at ten in the morning. The appointment, I may remark, was for nine-thirty.
Otherwise, she would have taken the latchkey." "Good. I will call upon her about ten o'clock. What time are you supposed to return?" "About nine-thirty or ten, but I could go back earlier." "You must not do that on any account. It might arouse suspicion if you did not stay out till the usual time. Be back by nine-thirty. I will arrive at ten. Mr. Hersheimmer will wait below in a taxi perhaps."
We've all yearned to climb The Ghost, or as much of it as we dared. Now you two, with Mousey and a servant, are to go on the nine-thirty. I'll finish my destruction of the social system and catch the eleven o'clock train. We'll have picnic lunch. They say there's a dreadful cavern at the base of The Ghost that is corking for picnics, and then we'll explore until we have to return. Any objections?"
"A testimonial from you," exclaimed the Judge "what could possibly be better!" "But the hour?" gently insisted the other. Judge Harvey stared; his eyes narrowed. Then, suddenly "Nine-thirty," said he. "Thank you, sir," said Mr. Bradford; and slipped a hand through Miss Gardner's arm. But before he could turn to go, Mrs. De Peyster, from over the shoulder against which she leaned Mrs.
In inverse order of importance, the shutters had come down, the toiler had been out, dinner-pail in hand, for hours, when Milady yawned over her morning coffee and the magnates of finance appeared in their triumphal procession down Broadway to Wall Street.
