"What you glimpsed in your casual snooping was the details of the one business in this community that is prospering. Out in your family's old farm, Doctor David Allen, formerly of St. Louis, is preparing, mixing, bottling, and labeling 'Allen's Stomach Bitters' that has been famous in the South and Southwest for many years. He is now pushing sales in the North and East.
"I wonder whether I locked these windows?" muttered Jennings, pausing in the hallway. "I guess I'd better make sure." He had taken only a step toward the library again, when Dan watchfully caught sight of him. It would never do to have Jennings snooping around there now. Quick action was necessary. Dan knocked over a costly Sevres vase.
"We're going to hang those herders, and drive the sheep all over a cut-back somewhere, like Jesus done to the hogs, and then we're going over and murder old Dunk, if he's at home, and burn the house to hide the guilty deed. And, if the sheriff comes snooping around, asking disagreeable questions, we'll all swear you done it. So now you know our plans; shut your face and go on to bed.
Pete leaned against a tree, held his mouth shut and shook inwardly. Mrs. Comstock came back panting. "The old scoundrel made me lose that!" she said. "If any one else comes snooping around here I'll just blow them up to start with. I haven't time to talk. Suppose that had been yellow! I'd have killed that man, sure!
Celibacy was listed with Arson and Manslaughter. Rufus was destined to be an Early Victorian Rummy, but he could lift a Saw-Log, and he would stand without being hitched, so Susan nailed him the third time he came snooping around the Toll-Gate. Rufus did not have a Window to hoist or a Fence to lean on.
"Now, you long-eared walrus, you're in a position to play fair. What are you going to do about it?" He reined away, out of Dirk's reach, took his handkerchief and wrapped his own gun tightly to protect it from sand, and threw it after Dirk's gun and the knife. "Am I a snooping coyote?" he demanded watching Dirk. "You air. More 'n all that, you're a damned spy!
Jerry missed the Cathy he used to know. The way she was now made him mad. One thing was sure. The attic was no longer a safe place for Mr. Bartlett's money. Not with Cathy snooping around, for she was a good finder. Jerry went to the garment bag, got the money out of the white shoe my but there was getting to be a lot and put the bills in one pants pocket and crammed the silver into another.
After a meal of bacon, coffee, bread and preserved fruit, cooked on the gasolene stove of the Golden Eagle, the boys professed themselves ready for bed. "Better sleep aboard the galleon," said Ben. "Why?" asked Frank. "Why, we don't want any of those devil-fish coming snooping around in the night, do we?" asked the old sailor, "and they might, if we slept so near the water."
"Oh, I'm just snooping around to see what I can find for my breakfast," he told her with a grin. Miss Kitty Cat bared her teeth in a snarl. "Snooping!" she cried. "You'd better be careful what you say to me! I heard some mice talking last night." "Ah!" said old Spot. "Now you know that listeners seldom hear anything good about themselves."
It must have been the noise they made that attracted the nurse, for she suddenly knocked on the door and tried to open it. Edith sprang out of bed, and put the rabbit in his box before she opened the door. "Why was that door locked?" asked the nurse severely. "Because," replied Edith saucily, "I didn't want you snooping in here in the night to steal bunny." "Well, of all things!
