I mentally asked myself. And what an odd idea to send me to Paris by that long roundabout sea route! What could be the reason? "I am not deceiving you, Miss Rayne," I said. She only smiled and turned abruptly away. Then, for the first time, I found myself wondering what could be these precious documents Rayne had told me the suit-case contained? That the suit-case was locked, I knew!
Anna Klein stood in her small room and covered her mouth with her hands, lest she shriek aloud. She knew quite well that the bomb in the suit-case would not suffice to blow up the whole great plant. But she knew what the result of its explosion would be. The shells were not loaded at the Spencer plant. They were shipped away for that.
He was apologetic for his unflattering doubt, but of what sort was she? The train was stopping at her station with rattling windows and a despairing grind of the wheels. Carl seized his overnight bag and suit-case with fictitious enthusiasm. He was in a panic. Emerging from the safe, impersonal train upon the platform, he saw her.
Harley P. Hennage had purchased a ticket for San Francisco, but when the train reached Bakersfield and he observed T. Morgan Carey leaving the car, bag in hand, the gambler suddenly decided that he, also, would honor Bakersfield with his presence. He excused himself, hastily quitted his innocent game of whist, seized his suit-case and rode up town in the same hotel bus with Carey.
Celia performed the task required of her with dislike it seemed somehow as if she were inspecting the dead woman afresh. She hurried over the task. "All these things are hers, of course," she said. "That's the suit-case she had with her when she left me at Hull, and that's the coat I gave her and the other things are hers, too. Oh I don't like looking at them. Can't we go, please?"
Lawrence packing her suit-case and taking it, or sending it, from the house during the day and its reappearance a couple of days later. It also explained her willingness that Evelyn spend the night with Hazel Gresham.
He had thought she would like the broad sweeping lawns and the cherubim fountain, the apple orchard and the kitchen garden, and the funny old bronze dog at the end of the box hedge. When he saw how she was occupied, he understood that it was not her intention to stay and explore these things. "Eleanor," he said, stepping into the room suddenly, "what are you doing with your suit-case?
"Any present you'd give me wouldn't cut much figure, I guess," said the boy on the bed contemptuously. "Is that so? Say, what'll I do with this bag?" Steve laid the suit-case in question on his bed and threw open the lid. "The pajamas look clean, anyway," he continued as he viewed them. "I suppose I'll have to wear them." He drew the cap out and set it on his head.
The house was known as the Willow Villa. Any hackman could drive him past it. As Hallam was speaking the New York train came thundering in, and the young lawyer, facing the snowy clouds of steam, swung his suit-case and himself aboard. On the Pullman platform he paused and looked around and down at Ruthven. "It's just as you like," he said.
Then he thrust himself between us, linked our arms in his and made us charge with him down the quiet country platform. A porter followed with his suit-case. "Why didn't you tell me that the Man of Fame was with you?" "I thought I'd give you a pleasant surprise," said I.
