"I know this was a put-up job, and Bruce Browning was in it. He got us to come here. Frank Merriwell knew something about it, or he'd never been so ready to come. And I know you, too, Tad Horner." The little fellow fell back a step, and then, with a sudden angry impulse, he tore off his mask, showing a flushed, chubby, boyish face, from which a pair of great blue eyes flashed at Diamond.
"A conspiracy, if you like, between Cotherstone and the authorities. Cotherstone, he's got the smartest solicitor in Norcaster and the shrewdest advocate on this circuit you know 'em, Mr. Mallalieu Stilby's the solicitor, and Gradston the barrister and it strikes me it's a put-up job. D'ye see through it?
He confided to him what had occurred, and his fears regarding the safety of his son, and he was by no means reassured when that official at once exclaimed that "the whole thing was a put-up job." "Keep quiet," he advised, "for a day or two, and we will see what we can do."
Is not some prearrangement suggested, a put-up job, as they say: a definite plan formed, and a definite end aimed at? Then by whom?
Mills, darkly. "I'll wait till I do see, and then I sha'n't believe," was the reply. "It is a put-up job between you and some other precious idiot, I expect. But you can't deceive me. If your black-haired friend comes here, he'll get it, I can tell you." She slammed the door on his protests and, returning to the parlour, gazed fiercely into the glass on the mantelpiece.
"We are planning a foursome and Miss Dangerfield has chosen you for her partner," began Thomas, who knows exactly how I feel about such matters and who delights to lure me into trouble. "If you and Miss Dangerfield will give Miss Ross and me two strokes," proposed Thomas, "we will play you for the dinners." I felt sure it was a put-up job, but what could I say?
"If you can give over holdin' your belly an' listen, I don't mind tellin' you my opinion o' this here War; which is, that 'tis a put-up job from start to finish, with no other object than to annoy folks." The corporal sat up, wiping his eyes.
But we are satisfied now he was in the conspiracy from the beginning," translated Crosby painfully. "Look at his strange disappearance a regular put-up job," broke in Brace, in English, without reference to the Padre's not comprehending him; "so that he and Perkins could shut themselves up together without suspicion." "Never mind Hurlstone now; he's GONE, and we're HERE," said Banks angrily.
"Then the Glasgow tale was all lies?" he exclaimed. "It came from this man, too, that's lying dead it's been a put-up thing, d'ye think, Mr. Hugh?" "It's all part of a put-up thing, Chisholm," said I. "Hadn't we better get the man in here, and see what's on him? And what made you come here yourselves? and are there any more of you about?"
This one bucked an' kicked an' reared up an' tried to fall over on its back, the same as a mustang; while I held on with my teeth an' wondered if it was a put-up job. Then I began to feel as though I had partakin' of a balloon. I gritted my teeth an' swallered hot water constant; but it wasn't no use; purty soon that beautiful breakfast began to fight its way to liberty.
