Fluette was to come at ten o'clock, and Tshen at ten-thirty. I did n't know what to do. I contrived, however, to smuggle all of them up to my room, without anybody being the wiser. The old man was holding a lighted candle in one hand and the small leather box in the other. I know it was the ruby he showed Maillot "
He passed through the bath room during the brief period Burke was in his own room informing Tshen of the state of affairs, entered the hall, where, by the dim light of the solitary candle, the two men were locked in combat. The struggle was so furious that his presence was not noticed.
He's a mute Tshen's slave. Tongue 's been torn out. And truly believe me; you may easily verify what I say Tshen is the properly accredited representative of the king of Burma, invested with full power and authority to dispose of the stone.
"Let the Burmese have it after reimbursing the estate for what your uncle paid for it; it would be only fair at least, in a measure. "I want to hold Tshen and his entourage of mild-eyed cutthroats until I put Burke through; they 're my best witnesses. We can't hang the rascal, but we have an excellent ease against him for burglary, attempted swindling, and attempted blackmail.
His appearance startled the old man so that he recoiled a pace or two. This gave Fluette the opportunity he needed to take the things from me. He set down the iron candlestick upon the floor, and plunged right into Fluette. Quicker than you can think, they were wrestling furiously for the box and the bundle of letters. "'I ran into my room and told Tshen what was going on.
