'A cook and housemaid I wonder if that would be enough? 'Don't ask me, that's all' 'I know you don't like to be teased, she said, submissively; 'but one or two things I do want to know. Is James to be in the house? 'Why, yes; he is a handy fellow. We will have him down for Simmonds to give him some training. 'Then ought we to have two maids or three? He held up his hands, and escaped.
What was the intrigue, of which it seemed to be the centre? Who was this man, that Godfrey should consider him so formidable? Why should he have chosen Philip Vantine for a victim? Godfrey came back while I was still groping blindly amid this maze of mystery. "It's all right," he said. "Simmonds is sending two of his best men to watch the house." He stood for a moment gazing down at the cabinet.
She was quite in the dark as to the cause of her son's extraordinary behavior the previous evening, but she was beginning to suspect that this meddlesome Fitzroy had contrived, somehow or other, to banish Captain Devar as he had outwitted Marigny on the Mendips. Talented schemer that she was, she did not believe for a moment that Simmonds had told the truth at Bristol.
"And, Parks." "Yes, sir?" "Don't let anybody in the house no matter what he wants unless Mr. Grady or Mr. Simmonds or Mr. Goldberger accompanies him. Don't let anybody in you don't know. If there is any trouble, call me up. I want you to be careful about this." "I understand, sir." "How is Rogers?" I asked. "Much better, sir.
I echoed, and glanced at the dead man and at the quivering girl. "I've got to run over to my place to get a few things and do some telephoning," he explained. "We must get a doctor up here at once; and then there's the police I'll try to get Simmonds. Will you stay?" "Yes," I said, "of course. But please get back as soon as you can."
"I have done you a good turn, Simmonds are you prepared to do me one?" "Just try me, sir." "Put your car out of commission. Stick a pin through the earth contact of your magneto and jam it against a cylinder, or something of the sort. Then go to Miss Vanrenen and tell her how sorry you are, but you must have another week at least to pull things straight.
A gentleman at the hotel, a French gentleman, who said he had met these these persons with whom my son is gadding about the country, told me that they had left Bristol this morning for London, because a car that was expected to meet them here had broken down." Suddenly his lordship, a county magistrate noted for his sharpness, glanced at Simmonds.
"Well," smiled Godfrey, "perhaps that was a little exaggerated. Suppose we say one of the greatest great enough, surely, to walk all around us, if we aren't on guard. I think I would better drop a word to Simmonds and get him to send down a couple of men to watch the house. With them outside, and Parks on the inside, it ought to be fairly safe." "I should think so!" I said.
Vanrenen " "That doesn't cut any ice I mean there would be no ill effect for Simmonds," explained Cynthia hurriedly. "Father will meet us in London at the end of our run, and Simmonds could come to us then." The steel-gray eyes narrowed. Their owner was compelled to decide quickly. As opposition was useless, she laughed, with the careless ease of one who was in no way concerned.
Coroner, for I knew that the case would interest you. Dr. Hinman arrived perhaps half an hour ahead of you, and had Miss Vaughan put to bed at once. And I guess you know the rest," he concluded. We had all listened intently. I was pretty sure that Simmonds would make no inferences which Godfrey wished to avoid; but I feared the more penetrating mind of the coroner.
