They were too clever! They gave out that they'd had a split and they say nobody ever sees them together. All the same, even when they were seeming to ignore him, the Brown papers have been making Fowler." "And you want to clear your brother's name," said Enoch thoughtfully. "That ought not to be difficult. You could probably do it yourself, if you could give the time, and were clever at sleuthing.
I have got just five more days and you must be a good little scout and go driving with me, so he won't catch on that I am sleuthing him. He will think I am just beauing you around in the approved Mount Mark style.
Comical little beggar!" "But, Ken," Emily Tweksbury followed her companion from the room, "you are like that you really are! You just take life by the throat and you are sure of yourself in a way that frightens me." "Oh, come, Aunt Emily, that girl has caught you by her nonsense. See here, let us do a bit of sleuthing!
You'll have to do your own sleuthing in future." "You realize what it means? I've never bluffed in my life, Vernon, and I'll push this thing to the limit!" "Go as far as you like." Vernon waved his hand airily. Then his expression hardened. "But whatever happens, leave my cousin out of your future plans. Do you understand?
Yes, she would be that silly, it was plain to see. She gave away everything she had; so of course she would be a "free lover!" Peter went away from his rendezvous with McGivney, thrilling with a new and wonderful idea. You couldn't have got him to give up his job now. This sleuthing business was the real thing!
James made one dry, ironic comment. "I rather think you have too much imagination for sleuthing. You let your wild fancies gallop away with you. If I were you I'd go back to bronco busting."

She was waiting in the tower room for him.
"It would stop their deviltry all right," he thought "but I might never find out what they're after. About the only way is to give 'em enough rope to hang themselves, and I'm blowed if I don't believe I could do that better by leaving the outfit and doing a little sleuthing on my own." Yet somehow that did not altogether appeal to him, either.
"Grimm saw us out late, you remember, and if all of you joined in saying it wasn't I who did it, they wouldn't believe you. I guess they want to make an example of someone. No sir, I'm going to do some sleuthing on my own hook. I've got a good line and a bit of evidence to start with. I'm pretty sure I can make some folks around here sit up and take notice about this time to-morrow."
This Perkins before the war had been an "operative" for a private detective agency what the workers contemptuously referred to as a "sleuth". The government, having found itself in sudden need of much "sleuthing", had been forced to take what help it could get, without too close scrutiny.
He has been sleuthing about the corridors all the morning, watching me; and his mission to this room was to make sure that my business in San Francisco is with Ned that we are working together." "He's sure doing a lot of Sherlock Holmes stunts," Jimmie declared.
