On reaching the police station, Harish found the Sub-Inspector recording the statements of the witnesses. He looked on in silence until Nagendra arrived. Then he asked the Sub-Inspector: "Do these people mean to say that the brass vessel belongs to Nagendra Babu?" "Certainly," was the reply. "Here are three witnesses who have identified it."
"Yes, it's quite true, Wilhelm Warshauer is a sub-inspector of police in Berlin. But I feel sure he is a perfectly respectable man." She fortunately did not see the expression which flashed across her questioner's face. Not so the Dean. Mr. Reynolds' look stirred Dr. Haworth to a certain indignation.
Whatever war the sub-inspector might wage against run spirits in the mountains and bogs, he always appeared on good terms with it at Ballycloran, and as the Macdermots had but little else to give in the way of hospitality, this was well.
"Certainly, if you can get Rs. 75 from the defendant you may keep Rs. 15 as commission." Gobardhan returned home, took the required amount from the Rs. 200 paid him by Debendra Babu, and handed it privately to the Sub-Inspector, who swore by all the gods that he would take no further steps against the inculpated men.
"I should make it easy for him, Miss Hawkins, if I was in your place. Let the old gentleman please himself." Thus the officer, whose sedateness of manner acts beneficially. She accepts the suggestion, standing back from her father with a stupid, bewildered gaze, between him and the exit to the roof. "Give him time," says Sub-Inspector Cardwell. He takes the time, and his speech dies down.
Nalini was about to return home too, when the Chaukidar came in and told him that he had reported Siráji's death to the Sub-Inspector of police, who had ordered him not to permit the corpse to be touched by any one until his arrival. About three o'clock on the same day Nalini heard that the police had come to investigate the cause of Siráji's death.
With a soft, melodious laugh she came forward. "Why didn't you say you were a trooper?" she said. "I thought " "I am Sub-Inspector Durham," he said quickly. "Oh, indeed," she replied. She met his glance without a suggestion of recognition in her own. "I have ridden out to ask you one or two questions in regard to the robbery at the bank, of which I understand you have heard," he said.
Well, perhaps he had been part of the machinery of justice, a clerk in the office to which the executioner sends in his accounts, so much for providing black veils for parricides, so much for sawdust, so much for pulleys and cord for the knife. Or he might have been a receiver at the door of a public slaughter-house, or a sub-inspector of nuisances.
In 1783 the Chevalier Keralio, sub-inspector of the military schools, selected him to pass the year following to the military school at Paris, to which three of the best scholars were annually sent from each of the twelve provincial military schools of France. It is curious as well as satisfactory to know the opinion at this time entertained of him by those who were the best qualified to judge.
Sam obeyed, and handed the address to the official. "Very well," said the latter, folding the paper up without looking at it, and putting it into his waistcoat pocket, "if we want you, we'll fetch you." "I suppose I had better put my statement down in writing?" said Samuel, making a last effort at pomposity. "Can if you like," said the sub-inspector, yawning, "when you've nothing else to do."
