"You're a fine lot," declared Jake, something about Trenwith's manner seeming to steady him so that he could talk intelligibly. "You tell me I won't get into any trouble if I come here, and then I find it's a trap!" "No one told you anything of the sort, my lad," said Trenwith, sharply. "You promised to go to Mr. Jamieson and tell him what you knew.
And I don't see any use wasting time on him while he's in this frame of mind." And so Jake, whining and protesting, was taken away. As soon as he was out of sight and hearing Trenwith's manner changed. "By George," he said, excitedly, "that's a good piece of work! There's something mighty interesting coming off here pretty soon.
"Better not let her catch us whispering about her," she went on. "She wouldn't like it a little bit." "It isn't a nice thing to do anyhow, Dolly. You're perfectly right. I do think Mr. Trenwith's a nice man. Maybe he's good enough for her. But I think I'll always like Mr.
At the sight of Eleanor he paused, looking a little sheepish. "I heard that Doctor Black was coming here I was afraid something might have happened to you," he stammered. "Why, whatever made you think that?" said Eleanor, honestly puzzled. Then she turned, surprised again by a burst of hysterical laughter from Dolly, who, staring at Trenwith's red face, was entirely unable to contain her mirth.
"You're not going to do yourself any good by getting fresh to this lady, I can tell you that. You're pretty well scared, aren't you? You told her that you were afraid of what Holmes would do to you?" But Jake, alarmed by Trenwith's mention of the name of the man he feared, shut his lips obstinately, and wouldn't say a word in answer. Trenwith smiled cheerfully.
The look in Trenwith's eyes, and the sheepish, hangdog expression of his whole face made Eleanor gasp. So he had betrayed them! After all, despite his fine talk, he had been tempted by the money that Holmes seemed prepared to spend so lavishly! And he had led Bessie and Zara right into a trap a merciless trap, as she knew, from which escape would be most difficult, if not utterly impossible.
