Our disappearance would divert the police into a search for us instead of for them. In the meantime, they could get quietly away and vanish. And besides, I was supposed to have that notebook the most incriminating evidence we possessed at that time." "But see here," now broke in Tierney. "Why did you let that guy think he had a chance to get away, when you had the goods on him?
Not only did the feet keep time, but every limb and every muscle had each its own work, and twisted, shook and twirled itself in perfect unison and measure, the arms performed their figure with as much accuracy as the legs. "Take a sup of punch now, Miss Tierney; shure you're fainting away entirely for the want of a dhrop."
Marsh placed Wagner, who was the smaller of the two men, over his shoulder, and Tierney and Nels, carrying the other man between them, followed Marsh back to the house. They put the two men in chairs in the library, and lifting the other man from the floor placed him in a chair near them. Marsh then turned to Morgan. "Have you fixed everything up?"
She suggested the Newbridge Barracks, where the dragoons were; and the Curragh, where perhaps some stray denizen of pleasure might be found, neither too bad for Grey Abbey, nor too good to be acceptable to Lord Kilcullen; and at last it was decided that a certain Captain Cokely, and Mat Tierney, should be asked.
Indeed I have no dislike to Grey Abbey at present; though I own I have no taste for the sugar in which my kind mother has tried to conceal its proper flavour." "Well, make the best of it; they'll all be gone in ten days." "Ten days! Are they to stay ten days? Will you tell me, Fanny, what was the object in asking Mat Tierney to meet such a party?" "To help you to amuse the young ladies."
Then settling back in his chair, he looked at Tierney. "Got any theories?" he asked. "No," replied Tierney. "I haven't any theories but I've got a couple of suspicions." "Well?" "One," continued Tierney, "is this flat across the hall.
The body is missing, and there is no trace of how it got out of the flat or where it is now. Here is a report of all that we know so far. By the way, your partner Tierney made this report. He happened to be on the job last night, so I told him to stick to it." The Chief handed the typewritten sheets to Morgan.
Find out whether or not Marsh has left the house tonight. Telephone me what you find out." "Sure thing," answered Tierney, and picking up his hat, hurried away. Morgan sat down in his chair and began to refill his pipe. After lighting it, he settled back into his chair and meditated on the case.
He seemed to be somewhat in dread, to be cowed, and ill at ease; he tried, however, to assume his usual manner, and followed his father into the book-room with an affected air of indifference, which very ill concealed his real feelings. "Kilcullen," began the earl, "I was very sorry to see Tierney with you last night.
The startling shattering of the net, which they believed they had drawn around Marsh, for once stunned Tierney into silence. When their hunger had been partly satisfied, Morgan reminded Marsh that they had not yet analysed the peculiar situation discovered in the Atwood apartment. "I hurried you fellows out so we could talk over that suitcase," Morgan explained.
