It was one o'clock in the morning, and I had been dining with Swigger Morrison at his club. "Hulloa!" "That you, Bunny?" "Yes are you Raffles?" "What's left of me! Bunny, I want you quick." And even over the wire his voice was faint with anxiety and apprehension. "What on earth has happened?" "Don't ask! You never know " "I'll come at once. Are you there, Raffles?" "What's that?"
Let's take a swigger, and then we gwine to go to sleep, like the rest on 'em." With no little difficulty Bird Riley got the bottle to his lips, wasting no little of the liquor in the operation. He was entirely "full" then. He handed the bottle to the engineer, and dropped over on his back, overcome by his frequent potions.
But any sheep would be resolute and rash after dining with Swigger Morrison at his club. "I wonder if he rang me up?" I exclaimed, as if inspired. "You, sonny?" echoed Maguire, decanter in hand. "What in hell could he know about you?" "Or what could you know about him?" amended the secretary, fixing me with eyes like drills. "Nothing," I admitted, regretting my temerity with all my heart.
"It was no credit to me it was rather the other thing," said I, remembering my rashness and my luck, and confessing both in a breath. "You know old Swigger Morrison?" I added in final explanation. "I had been dining with him at his club!" Raffles shook his long old head. And the kindly light in his eyes was still my infinite reward.
Thanks, however, to Swigger Morrison's hospitality, I readily reminded him of our former meeting, and of more that I only recalled as the words were in my mouth. "You'll remember Raffles," said I, "if you don't remember me. You showed us your trophies the other night, and asked us both to look you up at any hour of the day or night after the fight."
You must know what your emergency is before you can decide how to cope with it; and to this day I sometimes tremble to think of the rashly direct method by which I set about obtaining the requisite information. I drove every yard of the way to the pugilist's very door. You will remember that I had been dining with Swigger Morrison at his club.
