You think I'm not in earnest too. I know you think it, though you tell me you don't. Stop; before we say another word, your own eyes shall convince you. Come here only for a minute only for one minute!" I followed him into his bedroom, which opened out of the sitting-room. At one side of his bed stood a large packing-case of plain wood, upward of seven feet in length.
"I think there are lots of funnier things than that would be." "That's where you're wrong," retorted Deede Dawson, and he laughed again, shrilly and dreadfully, a laughter that had in it anything but mirth. "Can you carry that packing-case downstairs if I help you get it on your shoulder?" he asked abruptly. "It's heavy, but I might," Dunn answered.
"He has been 'The Kid' almost ever since he came to this district." "It pays," remarked Stanley jocularly; "they give me sugar." "And he lives with The Bear; how comical! Instead of the lion lying down with the lamb, in Rhodesia you have The Kid feeding with The Bear." "Who is The Bear?" Ailsa Grenville asked, from the packing-case cupboard, where she was reaching down cups and saucers.
It is known that he came here. A box goes out of here to be taken to the medical school, a long box that might hold a man. You and I are the ones who hire the men who carry the box." "Who said a long box that might hold a man? It will be a short, rather tall box, packing-case shape. Remember, he is as limber as you are and can be accommodated to any position.
He did not believe a word of what the other said, for he knew well the utter falseness of the man. None the less, the accusation troubled him and chilled him to the heart, as though with the touch of the finger of death. "You remember that packing-case," Deede Dawson added. "The one you helped me to get away from here the night you came.
She had only found her way into it by mistake and so travelled across with it." "That's what you may call travelling first-class," said the wood-mouse, laughing. "One may indeed," said the house-mouse. "I should have no objection to travelling round the world in a packing-case like that. However, she was a young bride expecting her babies every day.
"Bring the box in here, Norah," said Miss Terry, holding open the door for her servant, who was gasping under the weight of a packing-case. "Set it down on the rug by the fire-place. I am going to look it over and burn up the rubbish this evening." She glanced once more at the letter in her hand, then with a sniff tossed it upon the fire. "Yes'm," said Norah, as she set down the box with a thump.
I need scarcely ask whether you've executed your appointed task, my dear? You're never behindhand." Thames turned away at the question, which he felt might be construed into a reproach. But Sheppard answered for him. "Darrell's job was done early this morning," he said; "and if I'd attended to his advice, the packing-case would have been finished at the same time."
But, judging from the wing, it looked to me that when he see the ghost in the queen's apartment, he might have made more of his stockings." I modestly assented, and we all fell through a little dirty swing door, into a sort of hot packing-case immediately behind it. Here Mr.
Then suppose we clear the people out to-day, get the packing-case to-night, and to-morrow I hire a carriage or a cart that we could drive ourselves and take the box, or whatever we get, to Ringwood or Lyndhurst or somewhere; we could label it 'specimens, don't you see? Johnny, I believe I've hit the nail at last." "Well, it sounds more feasible," admitted John.
