'Now come along and see the inside, said Reggie, leading the way.
"The man in that taxi is a white slaver who just tried the poison needle on a girl, and you and I are going to capture him." The undeniable sporting blood surged in the veins of Reggie Van Nostrand, be it said to his credit. It was not the threat. "I'm with you, Officer!" He pressed a little lever with his foot and the big racing machine sprang forward like a thing possessed by a demon of speed.
I shall be wearing bifurcated stockings next, I suppose." "Etiquette, Madam, etiquette," said Mr. Buxton. "You must do as the Romans do, remember, or else be thought extremely rude." But there was no time for argument and the party hastily distributed themselves in the two boxes. Yoritomo Ito kept close beside Nancy while Nicholas Grimm and Reggie Carlton sat tailor fashion in the back of the box.

She tried not to look at the group, in which there were two women of very attractive appearance, and another man.
Lady Cromarty sighed, and then her thin lips tightened. "You are hopeless, Reggie. I sometimes feel as though I were here merely as matron of a home for lost Cromartys!

"I say hello, Reggie, old man I say, it's a funny thing, but we can't find Ponsonby anywhere."
"They say Hugh has changed that he wants to settle down," said Farwell. "If you'd ever gone to church, Reggie," said Mr. Shorter, "you'd know something about the limitations of the leopard." That night was Honora's soul played upon by the unknown musician of the sleepless hours. Now a mad, ecstatic chorus dinned in her ears and set her blood coursing; and again despair seized her with a dirge.
