It had been easy for Clay to find out the location of his saloon and the hotel where he lived. The cattleman had done some quiet sleuthing, but he had found no trace of Kitty. Now he knew that she had turned to him in her need and cried for help. That she was in trouble did not surprise him. The girl was born for it as naturally as the sparks fly upward. She was a provocation to those who prey.
Lise demanded, coming toward her. "Who told you where I was? What business have you got sleuthing 'round after me like this?" For a moment Janet was speechless once more, astounded that Lise could preserve her effrontery in such an atmosphere, could be insensible to the evils lurking in this house evils so real to Janet that she seemed actually to feel them brushing against her.
Once upon a time there was a He-Gossip named Cyrenius Bizzy. Mr. Bizzy was Middle-Aged and had a Set of dark Chinchillas. He carried a Gold-Headed Cane on Sunday. His Job on this Earth was to put on a pair of Pneumatic Sneakers every Morning and go out and Investigate Other People's Affairs. He called himself a Reformer, and he did all his Sleuthing in the line of Duty.
"We'll let them go right ahead, and in the meantime the Bulletin will do a lot of real nifty old sleuthing." But the Bulletin's sleuthing brought nothing wrong to light, and work upon the big waterworks contract was begun with a rush. In the meantime Agnes, true to her threat, was doing some investigating on her own account.
Nothing I had done seemed to me "clever sleuthing," nor did my simple discoveries seem to me of any great significance. "I don't like it," said Mr. Goodrich, at last. "Everything so far known, both early and late information, seems to me to point to Gregory Hall and Florence Lloyd in collusion."
But the key met with no resistance from the wards; and in a trice, appreciating this fact, Lanyard was wide-awake again. No question but that he had locked the door securely, on leaving after his adventure with the charming somnambulist.... Had she, then, taken a whim to his room? Or was this but proof of what he had anticipated in the beginning a bit of sleuthing on the part of Roddy?
Old Man "Gid" Rathburn, who cherished for Sprudell the same warm feeling of regard that he had for a rattlesnake, occupied the seat of honor, while John Z. Willetts, a local financier, whose closet contained a skeleton that Sprudell by industrious sleuthing had managed to unearth, was placed at his host's left to enjoy himself as best he could.
Peter, who wanted to complete his education, inquired, "And the third?" "The third is when they're both drunk and in love," was the reply. And Peter was silent, smitten with admiration. This business of sleuthing was revealing itself as more complicated and more fascinating all the time. "Ain't you seen any girl you fancy in that crowd?" demanded the other. "Well it might be " said Peter, shyly.
The small boy stopped and replenished his lungs. Tommy continued to stare at him. At that moment Julius rejoined him. He held an open letter in his hand. "I say, Hersheimmer" Tommy turned to him "Tuppence has gone off sleuthing on her own." "Shucks!" "Yes, she has. She went off in a taxi to Charing Cross in the deuce of a hurry after getting a telegram."
Back again in New York, Craig took a cab directly for his laboratory, leaving me marooned with instructions not to bother him for several hours. I employed the time in a little sleuthing on my own account, endeavouring to look up the records of those involved in the case.
