No, I have not; I'm staying here in Mallorysport until I either find them or am convinced that they aren't in the city. And I am offering a reward of two thousand sols apiece for their return to me. If you'll wait a moment, I'll have descriptions ready for you...." Victor Grego unstoppered the refrigerated cocktail jug. "More?" he asked Leslie Coombes. "Yes, thank you."
This precipitates the blue coloring matter, which is filtered off, washed with alcohol, and finally dissolved in a small volume of water and diluted until about three drops of the solution added to 50 cc. of water just produce a distinct color. This solution must be kept in an unstoppered bottle. It should be protected from dust by a loose plug of absorbent cotton.
My action was hardly justifiable, perhaps, but I thought it better that the police shouldn't get on the track of matters that haven't much bearing on Clarke's death. I found two things, and they're both of interest to us. We'll take this one first." He drew out a metal flask, and when he unstoppered it a pungent smell pervaded the tepee. "Crude petroleum," he explained.
The smaller ones were about eight inches long. All were torpedo-shaped, but had flattened bottoms, which enabled them to stand upright. Two of the smaller ones were empty and unstoppered, the others contained a colourless liquid, and possessed queer-looking, nozzle-like stoppers that were connected by a thin metal rod with a catch halfway down the side of the bottle.
The washstand problem was even more complicated. A small, tapering brass tank, holding about two quarts of water, with a faucet which dripped into a diminutive cup with an unstoppered waste-pipe, was screwed to the wall in our little corridor.
Little noticed even in the poor light that this was a different Gordon from the shattered wreck he had first seen. There was no tremor, no uncertainty, in the fingers that unstoppered a small bottle and poured out a draft; when the man leaned over him, drawing aside the curtains, the eyes that looked down at Little were bright and clear, true windows of a healthy soul.
Some have ingenious theories about letting the jug stand, either tightly stoppered or else unstoppered, until it becomes "hard." In our experience hard cider is distressingly like drinking vinegar. We prefer it soft, with all its sweetness and the transfusing savour of the fruit animating it.
The weight of twenty fathoms of this linked iron mass hanging outside, aided by the momentum already established by the anchor's fall through a hundred feet, of course drags after it all that lies unstoppered within. I need not tell those who have witnessed such a commotion that the orderly silence of a ship of war breaks down somewhat.
"Chee!" says I. "Willie, take off the other one, so you can get a good healthy circulation through the belfry." The words seemed to daze him some; but he tumbled to my motions and unstoppered his south ear. "Now," says I, "what's this about your Cousin Bob? Where'd you lose him?" Watcher think, though?
The eyelids were gradually opening the blind white was horrible to see. Each breath was a convulsion that shook the frail body. It was murder. Her hand shot out like lightning and seized the small bottle. Let anything come, love, shame, heaven, damnation; it should not be murder. She forced the unstoppered bottle into the dying woman's mouth with a desperate hand.
