As the water dashed up into the lower tier of beds, it was found necessary to lift one of the scuttles in the floor, and let it flow into the limbers of the ship. Fortunately no one was hurt, and Ruby succeeded in gaining the deck before the hatch was reclosed and fastened down upon the scene of discomfort and misery below. This state of things continued the whole day.
He stepped inside, and carefully reclosed it. He was in a garden, a garden of desolation, which nature seemed to have claimed for her own and made beautiful. It was a picture of luxuriant overgrowth. The grass on the lawns had become almost a jungle.
As cautiously as a thief he unlocked the door, stepped out, reclosed it, and boldly and with head erect stalked out upon the street. Much to his astonishment, he found the city in the bustle of the early evening, yet the sky was clear. It was evident to him that he had not been in the saloon as long as he had supposed.
By another of those swift, incalculable processes which at this stage of my apprenticeship I failed often to grasp, Dr. Silence reclosed the circle about the tent and body. "Now it cannot return till I permit it," he said, and the next second was off at full speed into the woods, with myself close behind him.
Coming to the first of the dim shapes, he grasped it and thereby propelled the skiff to another beyond. These indistinct shapes were the piles supporting the structure of a wharf. "Good night, guv'nor!" he cried hoarsely "So-long," muttered Sin Sin Wa. He waited until the boat was swallowed in the deeper shadows, then reclosed the water-gate and ascended to the room where Sir Lucien awaited.
Three seconds later he reopened it, and peering in, was in time to see the boy knock upon the private door. A little wicket, or movable panel, was let down, the card of John Henry Smith was passed through to someone unseen, and the wicket was reclosed! The boy turned and met the wrathful eye of the detective. Bristol reentered, closing the door behind him.
Sin reclosed the false back of the cupboard, which, viewed from the other side, proved to be a door fitted into a recess in the corridor of the adjoining house. This recess ceased to exist when a second and heavier door was closed upon the first. "You know," murmured Kilfane, "old Sin Sin has his uses, Lola. Those doors are perfectly made."
In every instance the envelopes had been opened and reclosed; it is therefore scarcely necessary to add that every instance has borne the stamp of Fraud. There is yet one other dark chapter, perhaps the darkest of all, which my duty compelled me to read. I began with Dr. Mansfield, in Boston; let me end with him there.
At that moment the door opened; at its threshold there stood the man's mother whom he had never allowed to influence his conduct, though he loved her well in his rough way and the hated fellow-man whom he longed to see dead at his feet. The door reclosed: the mother was gone, without a word, for her tears choked her; the fellow-man was alone with him.
The house shall be reclosed, and the funds left in the hands of the same trustee, to be distributed to the rightful claimants on the 1st of June, 1832. "'Villetaneuse, this 13th of February, 1682, eleven o'clock at night. "I protest against this codicil as a forgery!" cried Father d'Aigrigny livid with rage and despair.
