He became an expert detective and sleuth-hound, discovering and reporting Angus's movements each day to the enterprising Clan and its resourceful Chief. At Alan's suggestion, the Clan took for its motto "We must be canny," and canny they certainly were.
Until I had killed or shook him off, I was quite divorced from my companions alone, in the midst of England, on a frosty by-way leading whither I knew not, with a sleuth-hound at my heels, and never a friend but the holly-stick! We came at the same time to a crossing of lanes. The branch to the left was overhung with trees, deeply sunken and dark.
That doesn't happen with me and the Haste. But I saw it. 'They obviously mean business, don't they. The sleuth-hound touch. I expect to be asked for my photograph soon, for the Pink Pictorial and the Sunday Rag. I must get a nice one taken. I suppose I looked as I felt, for he said in a different tone, 'Don't worry, old man. There's nothing to be done.
Either you shouldn't have come to me at all, or you should deny yourself the gratification of these slurs." "Slurrrrs?" he repeated loweringly. "Both of you you and Miss Andriaovsky, or Maschka as I call her, tout court. Don't suppose I don't know as well as you do the exact worth of my 'sleuth-hound, as you call him.
I started up I grasped my sword firmer in my hand; but the howls departed not wi' the disturbed sleep from which I had been startled; but they broke upon my ear, louder and nearer the howls of the savage sleuth-hound, that had been sent to track me. I heard the horrid beast snuff the air, and break into short, hurried, and savage howls of delight, within a few yards of me.
There was no mystery about it. My enemy had come with sleuth-hound Indians at his back to run me down. The savages were, no doubt, that band of over-mountain Cherokees pledged by their chief to pilot the powder convoy; and by their help the baronet had tracked me. This was the first thought, caught at in passing; but when I came to look again I saw what had been done.
Warwick, is a blundering machine upon its own affairs, but a cruel sleuth-hound to rouse in pursuit. 'So now you have me chased by sight and scent. And if I take wing? 'Shots! volleys! You are lawful game. The choice you have made of your friends, should oblige you to think of them. 'I imagine I do. Have I offended any, or one? 'I will not say that.
Add his sleuth-hound scent for what he was after, and his untiring pertinacity, to his priority in perceiving the one great truth and you fully justify the popular estimate of him as one of the world's geniuses, in spite of the fact that the "temperament" of genius, so called, seems to have been so lacking in him.
They have tried all ways with me. They have sought to bribe me; they offered me hills and valleys. And to-day that sleuth-hound told me how I stood, and to what a length he would go to butcher and disgrace me. I am to be brought in a party to the murder; I am to have held Glenure in talk for money and old clothes; I am to be killed and shamed.
But he was still in high spirits when Eve came back into the room. "The sleuth-hound has fled," said he. "I must have given him something to think about." "I've tried all the keys and none of them will fit," Eve complained. "And yet you're always grumbling at me for not keeping my keys in order.
