After supper, the accomplished Reginald, observing a wire guitar, tuned it with some difficulty, and so twanged it, and sang ditties to it, that the flabby giant's pasty face wore a look of dreamy content over his everlasting pipe; and in the morning, after a silent breakfast, he said, "Mine vriends, stay here a year or two, and rake in mine rubbish.
"Zere will be no faight," commented the Dutch police officer in lugubrious accents, "my vriends, ve are too laite ..." But the Chief insisted that Mary should stay behind and the doctor agreed to act as her escort. Then in single file the party proceeded up the drive, Robin in front, then the Dutchman, after him the Chief, and Mr. Manderton in the rear. They walked on the grass edging the avenue.
He busied himself for an instant at the neck, then rose with a twisted strip of coloured material in his hand. "His braces," he remarked, "very common. The stool what he has stood upon and knocked avay, she lies outsaide! My vriends, ve are too laite!" The doctor, fetched in haste by Manderton, examined the body. The man had been dead, he said, for several hours.
Holding up three stumps where fingers should have been, he cried out, choking with tears: "My vriends, for vifteen years I vorked at making brooms me und my vife from fife in the morning until six at night, und I loose mine fingern trying to save enough money to puy a house that we could call our own. Then when we saved eight hundred dollars this man come to us und sold us a lot.
