"Ha! our party is complete," said Holmes, buttoning up his pea-jacket, and taking his heavy hunting crop from the rack. "Watson, I think you know Mr. Jones, of Scotland Yard? Let me introduce you to Mr. Merryweather, who is to be our companion in to-night's adventure." "We're hunting in couples again, doctor, you see," said Jones, in his consequential way.
"We must be married to-night. No more uncertainty and indecision and weakness. Let us begin bravely, Anita!" "To-morrow," she said. "But not to-night. I must think it over." "To-night," I repeated. "To-morrow will be full of its own problems. This is to-night's." She shook her head, and I saw that the struggle between us had begun the struggle against her timidity and conventionality.
Did you see to-night's papers?" "There wasn't much in them." Jim smiled wisely. "There would have been if things hadn't gone right. I'm glad for your sake." "Oh, the harm's done, I suppose. But there's one good thing about it Bob Wharton hasn't bothered me this evening." Jim, with an expressionless face, turned to speak to Lilas Lynn, who had just come in.
"It is a pity," Herr Freudenberg said coldly. "Kendricks is responsible for a good deal of the trouble. Did you see that to-night's article is here?" Estermen nodded. "He must have been a day ahead," he explained. "It was probably a later one of the series upon which he was engaged when the thing occurred." "This one will do sufficient harm," Herr Freudenberg remarked grimly.
Do you fancy he will care to trust himself in your hands after to-night's mad freak? But the hour grows late, and the streets are not safe; I will walk a short distance with you." "The citizens are still abroad!" I remarked after a time. "Listen! they are cheering for Guise!" "And there lies the trouble," he said. "But, monsieur, I have a private word for you.
So, if you have any misgivings about to-night's work, go to God and ask for His mercy and protection and help; and then, whatever happens, you will be all right." So saying, the good old fellow halted just abreast the hatchway, which we had reached at this point in our perambulation fore and aft the deck, and, gently urging me toward it suggestively, released my arm and turned away.
"We've got to do to-night's work as quiet as a growing mushroom," someone whispered to me, as we took our way off the road and lined up in the field that, stretching out in front and flanks, lost itself in formless mistiness under the loom of the encircling hedgerows.
But this brilliant suggestion didn't seem to appeal to Simmonds, who merely grunted and continued his examination of the catapult. "Silva had loaded it for to-night's performance," Godfrey went on, "but, as I remarked before, the leading lady failed to answer her cue, and it remained for us to touch it off. There it is, Simmonds; I turn it over to you.
He is easily recognized from that. You couldn't mistake him. He is probably living at Montreal under an assumed name. He may have sailed for Europe. You will say nothing of this to anybody?" "Certainly not. I will leave on to-night's train for Montreal, or on the first train that goes." Young Mr. Brown slipped the photograph into his pocket and shook hands with the banker.
Her inflection was perfectly demure and even casual, but nothing could keep the sudden "richening" that Jimmy Wallace had tried to describe out of her voice, and the light of mischief danced openly in her eyes when she said: "Why, to-night's all right for me." She added, "If that's not too soon for you."
