The detective fully realized the men were in earnest, and that, unless some fortunate accident intervened. it would indeed be an "up you go" with him. It would be hard to conceive a more embarrassing and critical position. The detective could not appeal to Renie openly as the appeal would reveal his real identity; and no opportunity appeared for a quiet revelation of himself to the girl.
Selton, you must satisfy me that you have an honest right to inquire about that girl before I answer your question." "I have a right." "State the facts, sir." "First tell me your own interest in the girl." Vance told the real facts of his meeting with Renie, and when he had concluded, Mr. Selton said: "So you are Vance the great Government detective!" "I am."
Do you think a girl like you ought to got to be told, on wash-day and with Lizzie in the laundry, to help a little with the housework? Do you think, Renie, it's nice? I ask you." "It's early yet, mamma; the housework will keep." "Early yet, she says! On Monday, with my girl in the laundry and you with five shirtwaists in the wash, it's early, she says!
The further remarks of the old smuggler were cut short by a shrill scream of agony which broke the stillness of the night. The two men stopped and listened a moment, when Tom Pearce started to go toward the door, exclaiming: "Something has scared Renie!" "Hold on! Nothing is the matter with the girl," said Garcia.
I tell you, Renie, as he goes now, it can't lead to no good; sometimes I would do almost anything to get him out West. Not a cent does he offer to " "He only makes " "You know, Renie, how little I want his money; but that he shouldn't offer to help out at home a little that every cent on cards and clothes he should spend!
Rooted, he stood as though face to face with an immense dawn, but with eyes that dared not see the light. "Renie, I can't! I Renie, I can't let you do that for me if if I can't let you marry him for me if you don't " "'Sh-h-h!" Mrs. Shongut's voice outside the door, querulous: "Renie!" Silence. "Re-nie!" "Yes, mamma." "Why you got your door locked?" Silence. "Huh?"
Just because he comes here on a day's business and then comes out to supper with papa don't mean so much." "Don't it? Well, then, if you know more about what's in this letter than I do, I've got no more to say." Mrs. Shongut sat down as though the power to stand had suddenly deserted her limbs. "What what do you mean, Renie?"

It will be impossible for you to stand against them all." "Never you fear for me, Renie; I'll go off in the yacht to-night. She catches a 'liner, and don't you forget."
With my own uncle, my own mother's brother, it it wasn't like I was stealing it, was it, Renie? Was it?" "Oh, my God, Izzy!" "It wasn't, Renie my own uncle! I could have won it back if if " "Won back what, Izzy won back what?" "I I started with a hundred, Renie. I had to have it; I had to, I tell you. You remember that night I I wanted you to go over and ask Aunt Beck for it? I had to have it.
"I tell you, Miss Renie, now since I can afford it, I just don't seem to know how to do the things I got the feeling inside of me for. Even in my grand house sometimes I feel like it it's too late for me to live like I feel." "Nothing's ever too late, Mr. Hochenheimer." "Just since I met you I can feel that way, Miss Renie, if you'll excuse me for saying it just since I met you." "Me?"
