Now it was a hospital train which halted at the camp on the way southward, and each red-taped nurse had reminded him of Alice Mellen, and of those last days in Johannesburg. Now it was a two-day trek, as escort for a convoy train whose long lines of bullock-drawn wagons marked the brown veldt with a wavering stripe of duller brown.
His treasure his oracle his book of power, the labelled parcel of Wylder's letters, with the annotated map folded beside them he replaced in their red-taped ligature in his iron safe, and with Chubb's key in his pocket, took his hat and cane the day was fine and walked forth for Brandon and the captain's study. A pleasant day, a light air, a frosty sun.
"I got what I consider a very good price. Sold the whole lot to another Brixton property-owner, got paid, and have brought you the money. All of it ain't even taken my costs, my expenses, and my commission out of it yet." "How much did you sell for?" asked Miss Pett. Christopher pulled his bag to his side and took a bundle of red-taped documents from it.
They tell me he has paced up and down all night outside the prison wall. Being an ex-convict, they have red-taped him out of seeing me to say good-bye. Savages? I don't know. Possibly just children. I'll wager most of them will be afraid to be alone in the dark to-night after stretching my neck. But Ed Morrell's message: "My hand is in yours, old pal. I know you'll swing off game." . . .
I guess by the time they have red-taped and trapesed round and wrangled those two tangles of title out, the logs will be safe down the River; and I guess that will about see the finish of Wayland before the coal cases come up " "That's it, Brydges." Moyese had lowered his voice. "What about Wayland? Have you found out anything? Where the devil is he? He isn't on his patrol!
Here is a Temple barrister, with his red-taped brief under his arm, and at his heels follows a plasterer, and a tiler's labourer with a six-foot chimney-pot upon his shoulders.
Every time I think of the section sanitaire, and A. and his thugs, and the whole rotten red-taped Croix Rouge, I have to laugh. Cummings, I tell you this is the finest place on earth!" A vision of the Chef de la section Sanitaire Ving-et-Un passed through my mind. The doughy face. Imitation-English-officer swagger. Large calves, squeaking puttees.
