"Oh, my lord, the Marquess is dead!" stammered Simcox. "Dead!" echoed Heyton, his face livid, his whole form shaking as if with palsy. "Well, Jenkins thinks so, my lord. If so, it's murder." "Murder!" echoed Heyton, his voice again hoarse. "Yes, my lord. There's been a burglary; the safe, the safe in his lordship's dressing-room, has been broken into.
I presume it is a religion to offer up hecatombs to the autumnal gods, who must surely take a keener delight in blood and slaughter than those bloodthirsty gods of old." "You should talk to Gerald about that, sir." "Has Gerald been so great at his sacrifices? How will that suit with Plato? What does Mr. Simcox say?" "Of course they were all to have a holiday just at that time.
He had a kind of strong desire to pick things up and put them away somewhere. Of course he couldn't; but he did pick up one thing, a cigarette case. He showed it to me. It was one of those long-shaped, flat white metal cases which fellows carry because they hold about thirty cigarettes. Simcox says he doesn't know why he picked it up. He didn't want it in the least.
I am glad you have so good an ear; it may be a means of your earning your own honest livelihood when you leave me." "When I but I never intend to leave you, sir!" said Alice, beginning fearfully and ending calmly. Maltravers had recourse to the meerschaum. Luckily, perhaps, at this time, they were joined by Mr. Simcox, the old writing-master.
After twelve hours as head of a business, they had temporarily ceased to interest him.

And the image of Florence Simcox, the clog-dancer, floated through his mind.
She stood and looked at him, frozen with horror; then she became conscious that her husband was standing beside her. "Is he dead?" she asked, almost inaudibly. "Who who has done this?" At the question, he drew back a little, and lifted his eyes from the reddened face to hers. "What do you mean?" he demanded, almost shouted. "It's pretty plain, I should think. Didn't you hear what Simcox said?
Male and female created he them, cumbered with all imaginable risks, and darkly brooding upon all manner of contingencies; and male and female, cumbered and perplexed, they were studied and advised upon by insurance companies earnest beyond measure to show Mr. Simcox what astounding and unparalleled benefits could be obtained for them. At the time when Rosalie joined him, Mr.
Heyton threw himself down on the bed and closed his eyes with the preposterous idea of getting a little sleep; but he lay and listened, and presently he heard Miriam's maid knocking at the bedroom door; then he rose and rang for his man. "Early this morning, eh, Simcox?" he said. "Been for a swim. Feel jolly fit.
Simcox looked and always continued to look while Rosalie knew him, and probably always had looked. Men of "about fifty-six" one never says "about thirty-six" or "about sixty-six"; it would be "about thirty-five" or "about seventy" men of "about fifty-six" are almost certainly born at that age and with that appearance and they seem to continue in it to their graves.
