On that first ridge he paused but a moment, lest his figure be outlined against the night for the keen gaze of some hidden foe. Steadying the keg with one hand and holding his gun alert, he descended into the first trough and climbed to the next ridge, meaning to traverse the mile of broken surface, thus setting a granite wall between him and the telltale wagon.
Minutes later it faced the long runway, a tinny voice from the control tower spoke out of a loud-speaker under the instruments, and the plane roared down the field. In seconds it lifted and swept around in a great half-circle. "Okay," said the pilot. "Wheels up." The co-pilot obeyed. The telltale lights that showed the wheels retracted glowed briefly.

Carlsen left the cabin. The main room was empty when Rainey entered, but there was a place set at the table.

"I must send you over a supply of wood from the box factory. We have more waste than we can use in the furnaces. Is this your little man, Nan? Sturdy little chap, isn't he? Come here, bub, and let me heft you."

In her face, too, was a telltale riot of colour which the deep tan partly concealed in his own. "I I am a little late, am I not, Joanne?" he asked. "You are, sir. If you have taken all this time dressing you are worse than a woman. I have been waiting fifteen minutes!"
Tell him yourself afterwards, if you like." In the quiet street the detective suddenly linked arms with his companion. Probably he smiled sardonically when he felt a telltale quiver run through Ingerman's lanky frame. "You've brought down Norris, I see?" he began. "Yes." "Meaning to make things hot for Grant tomorrow?" "Meaning to give justice the materials " "Cut the cackle, Isidor.
She felt herself blush for the dismay she had not been able to conceal, and to hide this embarrassment she lifted to her face not the handkerchief or the bouquet with which beauty is wont to cover the telltale signal in the cheek, but a wee dog, as white as a handkerchief and no less sweet than a bouquet.
