"You're a good guesser, Miss," returned the girl, who might have been sixteen or seventeen. "And who might you be and the other pretty lady?" "Why didn't Scorch tell you " "Sarsfield, do ye mane?" asked Norah, her eyes twinkling. "I mean Scorch O'Brien," declared Nancy. "Patrick Sarsfield is his name," declared Scorch's big sister. "Here! P. Sarsfield O'Brien!" she shouted into the house.
The door opened and the red-headed boy looked in. "Pay for 'Scorch's' luncheon, too." "Ye-es, sir," said Nancy, faintly. "Scorch!" commanded Mr. Gordon. "Yessir!" snapped the office boy. "It's about your lunch hour?" "Yessir!" "Take take Miss Nancy Nelson to Arrandale's. Afterward take her to the station and put her aboard the right train for Clintondale. Understand?" "Yessir!" Mr.

I punched a hole with a pin in the crease of the envelope at each end. Squeeze the sides of the envelope together a little and then squint through from one hole to the other. That's an old one. I want you to know I'm on the job.
Gordon is likely to tell anything that is goin' to incriminate you, as the newspapers puts it, take my tip: Get away while you can."
