In that time something must turn up." Examining his pocketbook he found that he had two dollars and a half left. Of that sum, two dollars must be reserved to pay the balance of his week's board. Out of the remaining fifty cents he must pay for his meals until the next morning, when he would take possession of his new boarding place.
"Sure it's convenient?" For answer, Dupontel showed him his pocketbook, with still half a dozen thousand-franc notes in it. "I see," said the Prince. He still hesitated for a moment or two, as if touched by some compunction, before he put the notes into his pocket.
I heard Jim roll over on his bunk, and he said: "Bet ten dollars, pard, that you lost all you had." "Jim, I won't bet with you. I have sworn off betting intirely." "Help yourself," said Jim, as he reached over his greasy old pocketbook to me. "Take all you want, now that you have come to your senses. But you must admit that what I said about your being a fool, was true."
"Only two out of 21,219 I think you ought to call it a long shot instead of a snap shot," I whispered, after I had dodged behind a tree on the lawn. She went in the house without saying a word and I took out my pocketbook and looked at it wistfully. Say, did you ever spar a few hot rounds with a real attack of grip?
The other villain nodded, winked and leered. "I'll bet you a horn of brandy," said the first, "that the chap has either a pocketbook or a snug little hoard of small change stowed away amongst his shirts. And if not there, we will find it in his pantaloons pocket." "But how if he wakes?" said the other. His companion thrust aside his waistcoat, pointed to the handle of a dirk and nodded.
"Small or large?" the latter inquired. "Small." "Right this way." He stepped behind a show case in which was a display of automatics and revolvers. Mr. Perry selected one of the former and a box of cartridges and took out his pocketbook to pay for them. "I believe I'll take one, too," interposed Mr. Baker, also producing a purse. The storekeeper looked somewhat curiously at the two men.
Female pickpockets, in stages, often rob gentlemen while the latter are raising or lowering a window for them. A watch, or pocketbook, or a valuable pin, is easily taken then, as the attention of the victim is entirely given to the act of courtesy he is performing. Women even carry their thieving into the churches.
Max took out the stout little pocketbook which was intended for silver. As he opened this he remarked: "Hold your hand, Bandy-legs." "Good gracious! two, three beautiful pearls! Say, are they ours, the first one as well as the other two? And how did you get hold of them, Max?" cried the other when he could catch his breath. So, of course, Max had to tell him the whole story.
I noticed that he had three or four thousand-dollar bills, and there didn't seem to be anything of the sort upon him when he was found." The Inspector made a note of this. "You believe yourself, then, Mr. Coulson," he said, closing his pocketbook, "that the murder was committed for the purpose of robbery?" "Seems to me it's common sense," Mr. Coulson replied.
Here was a subliminal reminder which my perception was dull to read. Filled with the idea, I thrust the strip of parchment like paper back into my pocketbook, and started eagerly upon another tour of the entire establishment. I paused in one room after another, examined each article in turn, but ended not a whit wiser than when I began.
