Ooma, so instead of describing you to him I described Mr. Hume-Frazer from what my husband told me of his appearance in the dock. He was the first man I could think of, and it seemed to be best, as the quarrel was between them. Only I gave him a beard and moustache, so as to puzzle him more. Didn't I, Nummie? I told you when I came home." So Mrs.
Brett left them under no doubt from the commencement. He addressed his remarks wholly to the Japanese. "You have an acquaintance perhaps I should say a confederate residing at No. 37 Middle Street, Kennington " he began. "I do not understand," broke in Jiro, whose sallow face crinkled like a withered apple in the effort to display non-comprehension. "Oh yes, you do. The man's name is Ooma.
Brett motioned to Holden to open the door, and the footman gladly made his escape. In response to a wave of the barrister's arm the other servants disappeared from view, though they probably only retreated to a greater distance, and could see well enough all that happened. "Yes," continued Ooma, "I killed Capella. It was a mistake. Everything is a mistake.
It was a fatal mistake to attack the readiest means of exit. Had he used his human battering ram against Holden and David he might have escaped. But now he looked into the muzzle of another revolver, and heard Brett's stern demand: "Hands up, Ooma! If you move you are a dead man?" Nevertheless, he did move. He seemed to have the agility as well as the semblance of a carnivorous animal.
If this man threatens the life of any person, maim him if possible, but try to avoid hitting him in the head or body." To the Frazers he handed the heaviest sticks he possessed. He himself pocketed the second revolver, and picked up the peculiar walking-stick which Ooma dropped in Northumberland Avenue. "Now," he said, "let us be off.
"You and Holden," he said to Hume, "go round to the main entrance, proceed at once to the library door, enter the room, and lock the door behind you. Be ready with your stick, and do not hesitate to lunge hard if Ooma attacks you. You, Holden, keep the revolver handy. It must only be used to save life. The moment you appear at the door we will rush to the window, which is open.
He is a small, dark-complexioned gentleman, with wavy black hair and a very pale face. He " But Ooma turned away from the man, and looked through the window, with the lambent glare of a wild animal in his eyes. He instantly saw the three motionless figures, Brett, Winter, and Robert Hume-Frazer. They sprang forward. Robert was quickest, and reached the open window first.
The detective did not trouble to extract the exact meaning from this remark. He understood that Brett would never think of entering the witness-box. That was all he wanted to know. "Are you quite certain," he asked, with a last tinge of anxiety in his voice, "that Ooma will be arrested to-day?" "Quite certain, if we can accomplish that highly desirable task."
David's second trial when the first missed fire. I can string Mr. Ooma on that little lot." "Winter," said Brett sternly, "you make me tired. Have all these stunning items of intelligence invaded your intellect only since you went to Middle Street?" "No, not exactly, Mr. Brett.
The same blood flows in our veins, yet you are my enemy. I wish I could once get my fingers round your throat before my strength fails." "Come from behind that table and try," was the quick rejoinder. Ooma made to accept the challenge, but Brett intervened.
