"She weighs about one-eighty," said the General speculatively. Eddie glanced at him sharply. "One hundred and eighty pounds in gold. Quite a pile, eh?"

Poor Captain Campion must have thought a lot of it to protect it so thoroughly." "He might have been taking it to the New World as a gift for some influential friend," Rick ventured. "It looks like Spanish work." Scotty looked at Rick speculatively. "Are you making a claim on this?" Rick knitted his brows. What was Scotty driving at? "You found it," he said.
He continued to look at her speculatively. "Well," he said at length, speaking with something of a twang, "I guess your father knows what he's about, but it beats me to understand why he has me here to study. I guess I'd better shunt." "Oh, please don't!" she said quickly. "It isn't you at all. It's only Nap." "Damn Nap!" said Bertie, with some fervour. "Oh, does that shock you?
Grinaldi eyed him speculatively. "You say they're 'ere now? So close as that?" he demanded in a low voice. "I passed them on the mountain. I tried to make the railroad ahead of them. There was a bridge down back there. There were two of them, officers from the county seat. They won't have any mercy if they find me. They'll take me back and I'll be hung.

He measured the distance speculatively between his own fist and the man's jaw and upper cut to the point as neatly as you could please. It happened so quickly that the onlookers thought the man had fallen from sickness. Barraclough was gone when they helped him to his feet. He was in a taxi speeding out of the yard.
