"What is the matter?" asked Vauquier. "The safe's empty. We have searched the room. We have found nothing," she cried. "Everything is in the safe," Helene insisted. "No." The two women ran out of the room and up the stairs. Celia, lying on the settee, heard all the quiet of the house change to noise and confusion. It was as though a tornado raged in the room overhead.
"That had no significance! I'd as soon suspect myself or my partner of stealing the bonds, but the safe's being open throws a new light upon the thing. Somebody you haven't thought of yet knew or found out the combination." "Then, in face of what you have heard, you do not believe my son fired the shot that took his life?" "No, sir," said Featherstone, with quiet earnestness.
Wadislaw had himself put the contents of the safe away, had even perverted them to his own use; and that he had injured himself by falling against the sharp corner of the safe's heavy and open door, had been set aside as too trivial for consideration. The hypothesis had been correct, the circumstantial evidence incorrect; yet in the name of justice, the latter had prevailed.
"There's plenty of room the safe's almost empty and it's ridiculously large." "My package isn't small," said Culver. "And on my mind it weighs tons." He reached into his large bag at sight of it Pauline had wondered why he had brought such a bag up from the hotel when his papers for her inspection were so few. He lifted out an oblong, bulky package.
"We'll see what he's made of, though," said one of them; "and, at all events, we'd act very shabbily if we didn't give him a share af what's goin'; but aisy, boys," he added, "take care ay! aisy, I say, safe's the word; who knows but he's a spy in disguise, and, in that case, we'll have a different card to play.
There's been a burglary; the the safe's broken open " "The safe ?" she said, unconscious that she had spoken. For a moment her eyes met his; then hers sank and she shuddered. "Has anyone gone for the doctor?" she asked in a low voice. "Yes, my lady," said Jenkins. "I've sent a groom for Doctor Scott; but I'm afraid " "Give me some water," she said tonelessly.
"You can unhitch and unharness just beyond; but I want that safe unloaded and put in here." "The safe's gone, sir." "What?" "The safe's gone, sir. We never got it. That's what took Sergeant Wing off down the valley, I reckon. I supposed you knew it, sir, and him, too, but he didn't. Those Morales fellows got away with it on burro-back while we were chasing the white wagon."
My poor old safe's been scuttled and her hold overhauled. But I don't mind that so much it's poor old Skipper I'm worried about. But come on up ter the house, lads, and see fer yerselves." Followed by the sympathetic four, the old man hobbled up from his little wharf to a small eminence on which stood his neatly whitewashed hut. He opened the door and invited them in.
On arriving at the dock, the safe was transferred to the ware-house, where it was forced open and to their dismay and disgust found that it contained nothing of any value. It was subsequently found out that the purser, seeing the ship in danger, had quietly transferred the safe's money to himself and when he landed had vanished and so all the hard work of raising the safe was in vain.
"But" with clear logic "when Big Tom's home, and Grandpa's safe's anything, why, even then I ain't ever 'lowed to go for a walk. Big Tom and Mustapha, they're both against me and Aladdin playin' in the street." "What about the roof?" asked Mr. Perkins. Strangely enough, Johnnie had never thought of that, either. "But Aunt Sophie wouldn't 'low me to go up on her roof," he remembered.
