The rifle had been discharged. In looking about for evidence witness had found a cap lying by a stump ten feet or so down hill. He identified the cap. He also took a seat where Bobby and Johnny could see him a short thickset man with a swarthy complexion and very oily long black hair. A witness was called who identified positively the cap as belonging to Mr. Kincaid.
The service, which he read in a clear manly voice, was soon over, and we returned to the house in groups. I threw myself in the way of the two free servants, and asked, "Pray, which of you is William Lee?" for I had forgotten him. The short thickset man I had noticed before touched his hat and said that he was.
Ralph, who was a thickset clownish figure, arrived at his full strength, and conscious of the most complete personal superiority, laughed contemptuously at the threats of the slight-made stripling. "It may be the same wand," he said, "but not the same hand; and that is as good rhyme as if it were in a ballad.
Betty, returning to the office one afternoon, found Smith in the doorway, just parting from a thickset young man. There was a rather gloomy expression on the thickset young man's face. Smith, too, she noted, when they were back in the inner office, seemed to have something on his mind. He was strangely silent.
Something of the resolution, the deliberateness, the stern power, and the enduring strength of his spirit shows itself, I think, in the short thickset body, with its heavy shoulders, its deep chest, its broad firm upright neck, and its slow movements, the movements as it were of a peasant.
But farther on we came into the lower land of a creek bottom, and here a thickset undergrowth robbed us of any view and made the march a toilsome struggle with the bushes. It was in the densest of this underwood, when we could hear the purring of the stream ahead, that Jennifer stopped suddenly and began to sniff the air. "Smoke," he said, briefly, in answer to my query.
Colwyn, you had better hear the report of Police Constable Queensmead." The chief constable touched a bell, and directed the policeman who answered it to bring in Constable Queensmead. The policeman who appeared in answer to this summons was a thickset sturdy Norfolk man, with an intelligent face and shrewd dark eyes.
Some trees appeared very large and tall, and the bays by the seaside are well stared with cocoa-nut trees, where we also saw some small houses. The sides of the mountains are thickset with plantations, and the mould in the new-cleared land seemed to be of a brown-reddish colour.
I dare not show the light too long." Darkness followed. I clambered up the bank and sought for the opening of which Carneta had spoken. "The light here a moment," I whispered. "I think I have it!" Out shone the white beam, and momentarily fell upon a black hole in the thickset hedge. The light disappeared, and as I extended my hand to Carneta she grasped it and climbed up beside me.
The other was a short, thickset, heavy-jowled man, with a great shock of sandy hair, and small black eyes that looked furtively out from overhanging, bushy eyebrows. "Well," Hamvert was saying, "the details are your concern. What I want is results. We won't waste time. You're to be back here by daylight only see that there's no come-back." "Leave it to me!" returned the Weasel, with assurance.
