At the police-station he learnt that Inspector Marley was still on the premises. Marley came forward gravely. He had a few questions to ask, but nothing to tell. "And now perhaps you can give me some information?" David said, "You are advertising in to-night's Argus a gun-metal cigar-case set with diamonds." "Ah," Marley said, eagerly, "can you tell us anything about it?"
That's the reason I hate to see her drifting about, all at loose ends." "Dennison," Reed spoke with masterful abruptness; "would you mind doing a letter or two at my dictation? Duncan is busy in the laboratory, this afternoon; and these things must go out on to-night's mail."
Foreseeing what was likely to come, I have lately fought shy of taking new ones. Here are heavy orders from Rafter & Son, the Builders' Company, and others. We must decline them by to-night's mail." "Is it really necessary?" asked Mr. Slocum, knitting his forehead into what would have been a scowl if his mild pinkish eyebrows had permitted it. "I think so." "I hate to do that."
"And in it you said that you were called to Boston by an accident to your son Willie in his automobile: that you might not be able to get back in time for to-night's affair and wouldn't I take it over," protested Mrs. Van Raffles, vehemently. "I?" said Mrs. Shadd, showing more surprise than was compatible with her high social position.
He'll oversleep himself, especially after to-night's supper. The other will be before him..... Oh, my poor head, you've suffered too much to fail in the end! Josephine reappeared to offer to remove her mistress's things. The latter, in her desire to reassure herself, asked the first question that occurred to her. 'Was M. le Vicomte alone?
The theft was committed at Troyes, at the fair.... Our men are persuaded that to-night's search has to do with this bear-stealing case!... All the more so because, just as we started on this expedition, one of my men, whose home is at Sceaux, told us that his brother, a driver down there, had been ordered to go in five days' time, with two horses, and at five in the morning, on the road to Robinson, and take a gipsy van twenty kilometres from there!... He thought there was something very queer about such a rendezvous as that!"
"Chram, the son of the King of the Franks, arrived there this morning with his bodyguard; we come from the pond where we caught this mess of fish for to-night's supper." "As true as my beard is grey that is a good windfall for a poor man like me. I shall be able to amuse the noble seigneurs exhibiting my bear and monkey to them.
It looks as though to-night's business had been engineered on purpose to dissuade Mr. Emerson from investing money in my enterprises. If that is true, it is a matter of conspiracy, and I cannot hold out any hope to you that I shall allow anyone to escape just punishment." "Do you threaten my son?" demanded the elder Melville, a menacing frown clouding his face.
"And the marquis has no need to hide; he can leave that to the conspirators," remarked the count, with a piercing look. Aslitta met the gaze fearlessly, and indifferently answered, evading the question: "Count, have you a box for to-night's performance?" "No, every place was taken when my servant went to the box-office." "Then do me the honor to take a seat in my box."
"Never mind what anyone thinks of them!" raged Bert Dodge. "We've nothing but our own side of the affair to settle!" "What do you mean?" asked Bayliss curiously. "Bayliss, what do you think I am?" "Oh, I guess you're a pretty good sort of fellow, Bert." "Do you think I'd let business like to-night's go by without resenting it?" "Are you going to try to take Prescott on again?"
