I may have smiled myself. Anything but a smile was on Phil Stacey's normally cheerful face when, some three days thereafter, he came to my rooms. "Dominie," said he, "I want to tap your library. Have you got any of the works of Harvey Wheelwright?" "God forbid!" said I. Phil looked surprised. "Is it as bad as that? I didn't suppose there was anything wrong with the stuff."
Failing in that she tried to destroy Stacey's store itself, twice. She was one of the few that could get into the office unobserved. Oh, it's a clear case now. To my mind, the heavy vapours of ether they are heavier than air, you know must have escaped along the surface of the floor last night and become ignited at a considerable distance from where she expected.
'Do you know, Stella, I have come to the conclusion that people never do what you expect them to do; anyway, you and Mr. Stacey don't, announced Vava when she heard Mr. Stacey's advice. 'I don't? What have I done or not done that you expected? said Stella, amused at Vava's moralising, though she understood and agreed with her surprise at Mr.
Mills put Stacey at one end of the table, near a young woman who looked like a teacher, and he had full sweep of the table, which was surrounded by bright and sunny faces. The station hand was there, and a couple of grocery clerks, and a brakeman sat at Stacey's right hand. The table was very merry.
Stacey's office, in answer to a message from him requesting her to call, she saw her sister, whom she had missed for the last hour, sitting beside Mr. Montague Jones in his motor, being whirled past her at a terrible speed, or at least so it seemed to her. Whether Vava saw her or not Stella could not be sure; but she took no notice of her, neither did Mr.
In spite of Stacey's invidious criticism of its intrinsic value, this theatre of savage dissension, violence, and bloodshed was by some irony of nature a pastoral landscape of singular and peaceful repose. The soft glacis stretching before her was in spring cerulean with lupins, and later starred with mariposas.
In my misery and doubt, I determined to take counsel with Dr. Stacey. I stood up, and passed out on to the deck. Those passengers whom I met on my way to his room regarded me in respectful silence. By contrast, Stacey's attitude surprised and even annoyed me. "I'd be prepared to stake all I possess although it's not much," he said, "that this was not the work of your hidden enemy."
Terrific was the fire they all this time endured; and for some moments it seemed impossible that the intrenchment could be won under it. There was a temporary check; but soon persevering gallantry triumphed, and the whole army had the satisfaction of seeing the gallant Brigadier Stacey's soldiers driving the Sikhs in confusion before them within the area of their encampment.
This talk of an arson trust is bosh yellow journalism. More than that, we have been systematically robbed by a trusted head of a department, and the fire at Stacey's was the way the thief took to cover er her stealings. At the proper time we shall produce the bookkeeper Douglas and prove it." Kennedy fumbled in the drawer of the desk, then drew forth a long strip of paper covered with figures.
Stacey's, so I was sure you would not mind; and what do you think? they are going to drive us up to London in their car! the girl cried, pouring out the words so fast that her sister could hardly follow her. 'Drive us to London? Indeed, they are going to do no such thing!
