Impaled on a sharp file was a sheet of note-paper. The note was brief, typewritten, even to the signature that of Doc Tripp. It ran: DEAR JUDITH: I am afraid of a new trouble. Have spotted another one of T's gang working for us. Also have got a bullet-hole in my right hand. Nothing serious so far. Come down right away. Don't let any one see you as I want to spring a surprise on them.
Indeed, I soon found in his epistles all the variety of the grab-bag at a country-fair, in which the purchaser of the right of grab fumbles with pleasing uncertainty as to whether he is to draw forth a hymn-book or a shaving-brush, a packet of note-paper or a box of patent polish for stoves.
"After walking, as usual, in the most unfrequented place I could pick out, and after trying, not very successfully, to think to some good purpose of what I am to do next, I remembered that I needed some note-paper and pens, and went back to the town to the stationer's shop. It might have been wiser to have sent for what I wanted.
He dipped the pen into the ink and selected a sheet of note-paper; then, as he bent to write, impatience seized him, he tore the paper across and took up a telegraph form. On this he wrote the simple message: Will you allow me to meet your sister? It was brief, it was informal, it was entirely unjustifiable.
And he arose and produced a shabby leathern desk. It opened without the formality of unlocking, and displayed the thick cream-coloured note-paper on which Mr. Pitman was in the habit of communicating with the proprietors of schools and the parents of his pupils.
Fred was sorry she had not come for sermon paper; if she had it would have been easier to inquire her opinions regarding the second coming. But the opportunity, such as it was, was not to be resisted. He said "Your mistress seems to use a great deal of paper; it was only a day or two ago that I served you with four quires." "That was for her books; what she now wants is note-paper."
That evades his agreement with me.... What's the price of a full-page advertisement in your paper?" "First, what's the idea?" returned the journalist. Matheson led the way to a hotel near at hand, and on a sheet of hotel note-paper wrote these words: "The use of my name on the Hudson Bay prospectus is absolutely unauthorized.
With the national heartiness they blazon their note-paper with heraldry and the hues of Gothic windows; with the national high spirits they assume the fancy dress of friars; but any one who should essay to laugh at them instead of with them would find out his mistake.
It was the gun they used to keep loaded and hanging in straps in a room of the kitchen ready for a shot at a cunning old hawk that they called ''Tarnal Death', and that used to be always after the chickens. When Mary lifted her face it was as white as note-paper, and her eyes seemed to grow wilder when she caught sight of me. 'Oh, you did frighten me, Mr Barnes, she gasped.
More likely, Orme reasoned, it concealed information for or about some person "S. R. Evans," probably. And who was this S. R. Evans? The better to study the mystery, Orme copied the inscription on a sheet of note-paper, which he found in the table drawer. From the first he decided that there was no cipher. The letters undoubtedly were abbreviations.
