"If Tom was in the city, he probably kept him closely hidden, on account of the number of Southerners who have recently arrived; and after the hint the police-officer gave him, he doubtless hustled him out of town in the quickest manner." "I want to hurrah for that policeman," said Flora; "but Mamita would think I was a very rude young lady, or rather that I was no lady at all.
Ah! then and there was hurrying to and fro, and eagerness and delight on every countenance, and a ring formed, and the prospect of a lovely "row," and I did it; but a police-officer sprang up, full-armed, from somewhere underground, and undid it all, and enforced a reluctant peace. And so we are at Saratoga. Now, of all places to stay at in the summer-time, Saratoga is the very last one to choose.
After two days' stop in the prison the journey was continued as before, a soldier sitting by the driver, a police-officer taking the place of the soldier who had before accompanied him. He began to speak to Godfrey as soon as they started. "We are not so strict now," he said.
And the gigantic hippopotamus, looking perfectly huge and out-of-place in a gondola fit for a sultana, appeared to her, floating down the calm stream, a red fez with a golden star on his head, puffing away at a peculiar double-bowled pipe, the pride of the collection of a retired police-officer in the village, who had it from the real cousin of a sea-captain from Marseilles.
Another couple dropped out, the woman actually falling with exhaustion. She was dragged aside and left unnoticed in the wild excitement. Now were only three pairs left in the center of the floor. The police-officer found himself speculating as to which would be the winner of the contest.
This was in the month of February, and the Turkish police-officer sent back word from Scutari, that Boghos, being an invalid, was too feeble to bear the fatigues and exposures of such a journey in that inclement season; but positive orders were returned to carry him to Cesarea, either dead or alive.
The tone of the man's voice and the man's face combined to betray him to the skilled police-officer. Andrew Larkspur knew that the man had told him a deliberate falsehood. "Are you certain you bolted this door on that particular night?" "Oh, quite certain, sir." The police-officer examined the bolt.
"And who may you be?" said the police-officer, turning to Hyde. "I know this gentleman," put in the attaché whom Hyde had seen at the Embassy. "He is a British officer Mr. Hyde." "I know better!" cried Ledantec, with a scornful laugh. "I denounce him as Rupert Gascoigne, the perpetrator of the murder in Tinplate Street, fifteen years ago. The case cannot yet be forgotten at the Prefecture."
"Because," replied Thorndyke, "there would then have been a set of tracks leading out of the Bay without a corresponding set leading into it; and this would have instantly suggested to a smart police-officer such as Sergeant Payne a landing from a boat." "Your explanation is highly ingenious," said the magistrate, "and appears to cover all the very remarkable facts.
As soon as the Chief of Police entered, he recognized me under arrest, and dismissed my guards with a wave of the hand all save the officer who had brought me there. The Finnish driver and the old wood-cutter were in another room, therefore I stood alone with the police-officer of Helsingfors and the Chief of Police at Abo.
