He had the eye of a lynx for the detection of any crookedness in driving, and his voice would ring out over the track like the trump of doom, conveying fines and penalties to the luckless trickster who was trying to get some unfair advantage in the start. His voice, a deep basso, rarely was heard, in fact, anywhere else. Though excessively social, he was also extremely silent.
There was alarm in his voice, which the sagacious Tom detected at once, and, strengthened in his suspicion, he replied: 'Nothing about the diamonds, and the Lord knows I hope she won't. 'What do you mean! Harold asked, in a frightened tone. 'Don't you worry, Tom replied. 'I wouldn't harm Jerrie any more than you would, but Well, Hal, you are a trump!
