"Chief Inspector Raynham," the man replied, pointing to an officer in plain uniform who was standing a few yards away. "Take me to him," Sabatini directed. "I may be of use in this matter." The crowd opened to let them pass through. They were on the corner of the pavement now, and the street to their right was empty.
One man got in with him and drove away, the others disappeared. I came here." Sabatini reached out his hand for a cigarette. "I have seldom," he declared, "listened to a more interesting episode. You didn't happen to hear the direction given to the driver of the taxicab?" "I did not."
"I went home." "You told no one else but Count Sabatini?" Mr. Weatherley persisted. "No one," Arnold answered. "I bought a paper on my way to business this morning, and read what I have just read to you." "You haven't been rushing about ringing up to give information, or anything of that sort?" "I have done nothing," Arnold asserted. "I waited to lay the matter before you." Mr.
In a way, it was almost pathetic to see his pleasure in being addressed by one of his own guests. Arnold drew a little away and looked across the banks of roses. There was something fascinating to him in the unheard conversation of Sabatini and Starling, on the opposite side of the table.
One so seldom meets any one worth talking to who doesn't know everything there is that shouldn't be known about everybody. About Count Sabatini, for instance, I could tell you some most amusing things." "His castle, perhaps, is in the air?" Arnold inquired. "By no means," Lady Blennington assured him. "On the contrary, it is very much upon the rocks. Some little island near Minorca, I believe.
Did you ever fancy that she was like Sabatini?" "I had noticed it, sir," Arnold admitted, with a little start. "There is a likeness." "I'm glad you agree with me," Mr. Weatherley declared, approvingly. "Splendid fellow, Sabatini," he continued, "full of race to his finger-tips. Brave as a lion, too, but unscrupulous.

Tell me, then, of your ambition! You are young, and the world lies before you. You have the gifts which belong to those who are born. Are you doing what is right to yourself in working at a degrading employment for a pittance?" "I must live," Arnold protested simply. "Precisely," replied Sabatini. "We all must live.

Arnold looked up quickly. Fenella paused with her glass raised to her lips. "Who is the missing man?" Lady Blennington asked. "Mr. Weatherley," Sabatini replied. "We can scarcely call him that, perhaps, but he has certainly gone off on a little expedition without leaving his address." "Well, you amaze me!" Lady Blennington exclaimed. "I never thought that he was that sort of a husband."
"I think," she replied slowly, "that Count Sabatini is the strangest man whom I ever met. Do you remember when he stood and looked down upon us? I felt but it was so foolish!" "You felt what?" he persisted. She shook her head. "I cannot tell. As though we were not strangers at all. I suppose it is what they call mesmerism. He had that soft, delightful way of speaking, and gentle mannerism.
