"He's spying on us and sleuthing for evidence to send us to the pen. Think he'd be a good risk for an insurance company?" Dave thought fast. "I don't reckon you're right. I put the kid through law school. My friends have likely sent him up here to look for me." Rutherford scoffed. "Nothing to that. How could they know you are here? We didn't advertise it."
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.
So now Perkins was a sergeant in the secret service; and just as the carpenters were hammering nails as at home, and the surgeons were cutting flesh as at home, so Perkins was "sleuthing" as at home. "Well, sergeant?" said the lieutenant. "What have you got?" "I think I've got the story, sir." You could see the relief in Gannet's face; and Jimmie's heart went down into his boots.

"I had a 'short' shadow and a 'long' shadow at Wickham's heels all day. You know what I mean. Instead of one man, two the second sleuthing in the other's tracks. If he escaped Number One, Number Two would take it up, and I was ready to move up into Number Two's place. They kept him in sight about all the time. Not a fact.
And then rather strong for a coincidence we all three met again on the express. What is he doing on this side? Shadowing her? Nonsense? And yet he seemed almighty keen about her Oh, hang it! I'm no Sherlock Holmes!" The taxi pausing at this juncture, I willingly abandoned my attempt at sleuthing and got out in the highest spirits compatible with a strictly correct mien. I dismissed my driver.
