Alfred, however, had but recently made use of the door, when seeking bunches of holly wherewith to deck the board on the occasion of the feast given to King Edwy, and he had omitted to relock it on his return, an omission which now seemed to him of providential arrangement. He had, therefore, only to turn the rusty latch as noiselessly as might be, and the door slowly opened.
Some papers brought to her father by Goslin she had placed in the safe earlier that evening, and these, she recognised, were now in Flockart's hands. She had not read them herself, and had no idea of their contents. They were, to her, never interesting. "Mr. Flockart," she exclaimed very firmly at last, "I ask you to kindly replace those papers in my father's safe, relock it, and hand me the key."
In a couple of hours I will bring you a blanket from the house and a nice warm lunch, and you can be comfortable and safe. I will relock the door on you, and if you want to leave at any time you can unfasten a window and get out." Baker did not reply. Bart heard him mumbling to himself as though debating the proposition submitted to him.
When the man entered my cell, bearing his lantern, he said: "Come with me." The words were both welcome and terrible. I could not know their meaning whether it was liberty or death. I stepped from the cell and, while I waited for the guard to relock the door, I saw the light of a lantern at the other end of a passageway.
The blame for her, the credit for him! From the nettle danger his wits had plucked the flower safety. But for his fears he could have chuckled; and then he heard her leave the room, and relock the door. With a gasp of relief, he retired a pace or two, and waited, his eyes fixed on the doorway through which she must enter.
"Never, with such a face! It is as honest as thine, Robert. Of that I am certain, and if thee will only talk with him, I am convinced thee will think as I do. Nor will thee relock the door that I left open?" "What!" exclaimed the sheriff; "you haven't left his cell-door unlocked, mother, after the strict charges I gave you concerning that very thing?"
"It is one of the best makes, and would resist anything, except, of course, the electric current." "To force it would be to put Henry on his guard," Lady Heyburn remarked, "If we are to know what secrets are there, and use our knowledge for our own benefit, we must open it with a key and relock it." "Well, Winnie, we must do something. We must both have money that's quite evident," he said.
It was the second time Bob had asked that question of himself, but as he was a poor source of information just then, he was forced to pass into the fair-grounds and relock the gate in as mystified a state of mind as before he put the query. A little later, when he reached the big hangar he whirled about again, as if half expecting to see the stranger still skulking behind him in the grounds.
When you have finished, relock both the original and the draft in the desk, and hand them over to me personally to-morrow morning. "I took the papers and " "Excuse me an instant," said Holmes. "Were you alone during this conversation?" "Absolutely." "In a large room?" "Thirty feet each way." "In the centre?" "Yes, about it." "And speaking low?" "My uncle's voice is always remarkably low.
Well, I had thought of that eventuality, too; one must think of everything, you know that is where genius comes in. Then, if possible, relock the safe, so that the maid, on her return, would find everything apparently in order and would not, perhaps, raise the alarm until I was safely out of the theatre. It could be done oh, yes, it could be done with a minute to spare!
