The girl had forgotten that Knight had hinted at something to tell and something to show her on the morning of their marriage day, and expected to find his two friends with him; but he had come alone. "We've got a half-hour together," he said. "Then Dr. Torrance and the Marchese di Morello may turn up at any minute. Torrance is an elderly man, a decent sort of chap, and deadly respectable.

Bince says, for he seems to feel more strongly on this subject than almost any question that has ever arisen in the plant wherein we differed, and it may be that I am doing wrong to absolutely ignore his wishes in the matter. "As a matter of fact, Mr. Torrance, I have reached the point where I don't particularly relish a fight, as I did in the past.

For the quicksands were fighting to the last ditch, swallowing whole forests of trees and hills of rock, and opening its maw for more. Friends urged Torrance to ask leave to move the grade north or south to sounder bottom. But Torrance was not built that way. Besides, he had great reverence for a survey.

When she saw who was there, she said something else also. 'There's a parcel come for Miss Torrance, if you happen to be going up that way, the postmistress simpered. The student became aware for the first time that his friendship with Miss Torrance was a matter of public interest. He was not entirely displeased. 'I will take the parcel, he said.

Torrance had stood for a moment with an arm still around the girl; but as Murray rose to his feet he pushed her gently behind him, and then as the man was upon him Jimmy ducked easily under the other's clumsy left and swung a heavy right hook to his jaw.

"Madame Torrance, eh? Well, my good girl, take this," offering a bank note. "I really thought that Madame Torrance, I mean Arthur, was an old friend; however, it seems I was mistaken. Now, my girl, go and tell that lady that a gentleman desires to see her, and do not announce me to Miss Arthur yet. May I depend upon you?" glancing at her keenly. "You may, monsieur."

One evening when Conrad had gone to the Police barracks to make a report on recent trifling but significant occurrences, and to complete plans for a more systematic protection of the trestle now that it was nearing completion, Torrance moved his chair to the open doorway and sat dreaming. "You haven't locked the stable yet," Tressa reminded him, breaking a long silence. He laughed recklessly.

He's interfering with our accounting system and I don't want it interfered with just now." "You mean the pay-roll?" asked Krovac. "It might be," said Bince. "You want them two new guys that are working in the office croaked, too?" asked Krovac. "I don't want anybody 'croaked'," replied Bince. "I didn't tell you to kill Torrance in the first place.

I would prefer not to have to dress like this, but not because I deplore our aims. It is the misfortune of the class of men for whom I fight. Miss Torrance" he slid abruptly down the trunk and leaned forward to look in her eyes "I'm talking to you as I never talked before, as I scarcely dared to think. Any one else would hand me over to the Police. You won't.

I'm off to-morrow to Mile 135. Torrance says the ticker is set up there. I want to talk to Saskatoon." Constable Williams shrugged his shoulders. "Those speeders were up to something they're not telling Saskatoon or any one else that we're apt to get any information from." "That's what I'm going to find out. They couldn't go far without being seen, and they'd have to stick to the railway.
