Bribes he leaves under your own paper-weight on your table; in short, it is quite plain that he prefers to cling to you. Then something severe, something unusual must be done. What! surely you will not have him collared by a constable, and commit his innocent pallor to the common jail? And upon what ground could you procure such a thing to be done? a vagrant, is he?
Jefferson Edwardes, head of Edwardes and Edwardes. At first Hamilton said nothing. His face paled a little and he reached out and fingered a paper-weight and a pen, with the gesture of one whose brain takes no thought of what his hand does. Then slowly his eyes kindled into the tawny gleam of a tigerish light. "It was very good of them to wait so long," he said significantly.
"No; I have quite enough weapons and instruments of carnage. I want a small figure, something which will suit me as a paper-weight, for I cannot endure those trumpery bronzes which the stationers sell, and which may be found on everybody's desk."
"You'll excuse my shoving my oar in, won't you? But I should like to say something to you." "Now for a rowing," thought Peter, who had been wondering how it was that he had escaped one. "Something scientific," added the Doctor. "Yes," said Peter, fiddling with the fossil ammonite that the Doctor used for a paper-weight. "Well then, you see. Boys and girls are only little men and women.
Bainrothe, we shall meet no more." I left the room left him in possession of the library, in which he paced up and down for an hour or more, like a caged panther. There was a sealed note for me in his handwriting, under the massive paper-weight on the table, when I entered it again, which he had written and left there before his departure.
"You fool!" said the Doctor, with a withering look. "Don't you see, it's life or death later. That that thing will be as big as this house in half an hour. Don't you know that? As big as this house. We've got to kill it now now." The Big Business Man ran towards the paper-weight. "I'll hit it with this," he said. "You can't," said the Doctor, "you might miss. We haven't time.
"Ha ha, an old acquaintance again," Pyotr Stepanovitch interrupted, pouncing on another document that lay under a paper-weight, something like a manifesto, obviously printed abroad and in verse. "Oh, come, I know this one by heart, 'A Noble Personality. Let me have a look at it yes, 'A Noble Personality' it is. I made acquaintance with that personality abroad. Where did you unearth it?"
Bruce Wright looked at the array of letter-trays. The marble paper-weight had been displaced. The tray in which it had lain was empty. He looked at the sheaf of papers in the girl's hand. "I wanted to see," he replied, "whether there was anything here ... on his desk ... which would explain the mystery of his death ..." The girl spread out the papers in her hand on the big blotter.
"I intended to be here on time, but was unavoidably detained." "I dined with the Bishop to-night," and Dr. Rannage toyed with a small paper-weight as he spoke, "and was forced to leave in the midst of a most important discussion in order to keep my appointment with you." "What were you discussing?" Douglas enquired.
One evening, when all three are together, the doctor picks up a heavy iron paper-weight, and Alexis says that with such an instrument a murderer might break a man's head. This is interesting. "It was precisely the head, and precisely with that thing that I had planned to crush it, and now that same head was telling how it would all end."
