While I am very vague about the fourth dimension, I did know that in it doors and walls were not obstacles. But as they would not be obstacles to a spirit, even in the world as we know it, that got me nowhere. Suppose Sperry came down and said Arthur Wells had been shot above the ear, and that there was a second bullet hole in the ceiling?
May it not have been this trait of Rod's that gave her the clue to his character, when she was thinking him over, after the separation? Sperry was gone nearly ten minutes. He came, full of apologies. "Fitz held on to me while he roasted Brent. You've heard of Brent, of course?" "Yes," said Susan. "Fitz has been seeing him off. And he says it's " Susan glanced quickly at him. "Off?" she said.
"Well, with this paid, I guess you could have what you needed, in moderation. Of course " "My name is Duncan Nathaniel Duncan." Sperry made a memorandum of it on the back of an envelope. "Any former business connections?" "None that I care to speak about," Duncan confessed glumly. Sperry's face lengthened. "No references?"
I suspect he suffered the shock of his placid life when he found Sam absent and the shop in the care of this spruce, well set-up young man. "Anything I can do for you?" chirped Duncan cheerfully, dropping off the counter as Sperry entered. "No-o; I just wanted to see old Sam. Is he upstairs?" "No, Mr. Graham's not in at present," Duncan told him civilly.
Something which we had tacitly avoided had come suddenly into the open. Sperry raised his hand. "It is necessary to be explicit," he said, "that the Club may see where it stands. It is, of course, not necessary to remind ourselves that this evening's disclosures are of the most secret nature.
He was evidently accustomed to seeing Sperry there, and he did not recognize my wife. But when he had put down the tray and turned to pick up Sperry's overcoat to carry it into the hall, he saw me. The man actually started. I cannot say that he changed color. He was always a pale, anemic-looking individual. But it was a perceptible instant before he stooped and gathered up the coat.
These two were Number 3 and Number 9 Sperry Street, the latter dubbed "the Pest-Egg" by the "Clarion," as being the tenement in which the pestilence was supposed to have originated. These two last clues, Wayne was sure, would be run down before evening.
Obediently Garrison perused the missive in hand, typed on the steel-plate stationery of the New York Immutable Life Insurance Company: "DEAR SIR: "At the recommendation of our counsel, Mr. Sperry Lochlan, who is still abroad, we desire to secure your services in a professional capacity. Our Mr.
"Sperry tells me he has had that twist in his brain for a long time that he has tried out a dozen girls or more drops them after a few weeks or months. He has a regular system about it runs away abroad, stops the pay after a month or so." "Well, the forty a week's clear gain while it lasts," said Susan. She tried to speak lightly. But she felt hurt and uncomfortable.
"I didn't think this was going to be a bed of roses and it isn't," he concluded. Nat had a busy day or two after that, trying to set things to rights in the store for the better reception and display of the new stock. Sperry dropped him a line saying that the goods would arrive on the third day, and there was much to do to make way for it.
