Searles himself, have looked it carefully over. All the walls are intact; there is absolutely no opening anywhere for surreptitious access." "Possibly not. You certainly discourage me very much. I had hoped much from my theory. But we are not done with the matter. Mrs. Packard's mind must be cleared of its fancies, if it is in my power to do it. You will hear from me again, Mr. Robinson.
"For a philanthropist, Parker, you seem to relish rough-house about as well as any one I ever saw, I've heard for a long time that football makes prizefighters out of college boys so much so that they go looking for trouble. Is that so?" "I wish you'd let the matter drop, Mr. Searles," said the young man. "I'm thoroughly ashamed of the whole thing."
I'd try to get the end room, if I were you. Mary Andrews and I had it once. There is a splendid view of Berry Searles's window." "Berry Searles?" "Yes; President Searles, you know; his youngest son. He's an elegant fellow. All the girls are cracked about him, perfectly cracked!
Why I myself!" and he looked at her ruefully enough, but enjoying too his idea that he might embody the social scandal or point to the darkest drama of the Searles.

Searles came from a good family, who lived north of London in Lincolnshire. His father, the Hon. George Searles, had a competency, largely invested in lands, and three per cent consols.

Matt Peasley retorted. "And fifty thousand!" Mann flung back at him. Matt Peasley eyed his antagonist belligerently. "That's doing very well for a young fellow," Searles complimented the last bidder.
