'Thank you, sir, replied Summertrees quietly, and with that I took my leave. From the corner of an alley on the other side of the street I saw him put up the shutters with his own hands, then he emerged with overcoat on, and the money satchel slung across his shoulder.
If you will allow me to use your telephone for a moment, I will ask Mr Summertrees, who has not yet begun dinner, to bring with him here the volume for 1893, and, within a quarter of an hour, you will be perfectly satisfied that everything is quite legitimate.
Ah, indeed. 'I shall be glad to leave the books with you, Mr. Webster, and if you care to make an appointment with Mr. Summertrees, I am sure he will not object to say a word in my favour. 'Oh, I do not in the least doubt it, and should not think of troubling the gentleman.
The absent-minded league, as one might call them. Most ingenious. Summertrees, if he had any sense of humour, which he hasn't, would be rather taken by the idea that his innocent fad for Christian Science had led him to be suspected of obtaining money under false pretences. But, really, there are no pretensions about the matter at all.
'You think that Darsie Latimer is in danger of his life? 'Me! I think nothing about it, Mr. Alan; but if he were, as I trust he is not, he is nae drap's blood akin to you, Mr. Alan. 'But here your friend, Summertrees, said the young lawyer, 'offers me a letter to this Redgauntlet of yours What say you to that? 'Me! ejaculated the provost, 'me, Mr. Alan?

But, before running into politics, give me leave to say, that I am surprised to find a gentleman of your opinions in habits of intimacy with Mr. Maxwell of Summertrees and Mr.
'I can give no reason except that my opinion of the acuteness of Summertrees has been gradually rising all the while you were speaking, and at the same time my estimate of Podgers' craft has been as steadily declining. However, bring the man here tomorrow, that I may ask him a few questions. Next day, about eleven o'clock, the ponderous Podgers, hat in hand, followed his chief into my room.
'Why, then, it follows, that if I am to help you at this pinch, if cannot be by and through my ain personal knowledge, but through some fitting agent or third person. 'Granted again, said Fairford. 'And pray who may this third person be? 'Wha but Pate Maxwell of Summertrees him they call Pate-in-Peril. 'An old Forty-five man, of course? said Fairford.
The Laird of Summertrees seemed studious to prevent any further communication between him and the provost, and remained lounging on the landing-place of the stair while they made their adieus heard the provost ask if Alan proposed a speedy return, and the latter reply that his stay was uncertain, and witnessed the parting shake of the hand, which, with a pressure more warm than usual, and a tremulous, 'God bless and prosper you!

'You are quite right in that guess, Valmont. How did you hit it? 'Merely a surmise, Hale.

I have also a suspicion that Ralph Summertrees knows perfectly well what the estimable Podgers is there for. 'What makes you think that?
