In the semi-light of the little windows in the enclosed sides of the pier, under the steel girders of the arched roof like a vast hall, there was a panorama of a huge mass of open luggage. At last Number 140 came down, alone, to the roped-off dock. He walked nonchalantly over to the little deputy surveyor's desk, and an inspector was quickly assigned to him.
"I gave myself leave, sir," replied Trimmer, nonchalantly. "And what right have you to take holidays without my permission?" "You discharged me, sir but I thought better of it." A grunt was the only answer to this impertinence. "You seem to have been muddling things nicely in my absence," observed Trimmer after a moment, with cool audacity. "Have I? That's all you know.
Suppose that the Carolina trigger-finger slipped, as Hunter had nonchalantly admitted might happen: what then?

"Very well," answered Lance nonchalantly, "I am sure I have no objection; and, now that you have mentioned it, I confess I feel curious to see the result of so novel an experiment."
