"Isn't that a knife-handle sticking out of the end of the bundle?" asks the Lieutenant. So it was; a butcher knife, at that. He has stopped opposite the double gates and is scowlin' around.

"Why, my dear child, I haven't done anything so absurd as this since since I was forty, and and it has done me a world of good, I'm sure." What do you know about that? Admits she carried on as late as forty! And here I'd supposed she was born scowlin' about the time tabasco sauce was invented.
They're used to that. She stares back at me just as cool, and then remarks, "I guess you know who I am well enough." "Sure!" says I. "You're the long lost Duchess of Gainsborough, ain't you?"
