In this way, when I was at Bale, I baffled the celebrated Imhoff, the landlord of the "Three Kings." M. Ote complimented me on my waiter's disguise, and said he was sorry not to have seen me officiating, nevertheless, he said he thought I was wise not to repeat the jest.
Pickwick was on the point of delivering some remarks which would have enlightened the world, if not the Thames, when he was thus interrupted; for he gazed sternly on the waiter's countenance, and then looked round on the company generally, as if seeking for information relative to the new-comers. 'Oh! said Mr. Winkle, rising, 'some friends of mine show them in. Very pleasant fellows, added Mr.
"'I've got a little matter to settle with this gentleman, he said, indicating the Winchester constable with a backward jerk of his thumb; 'I'll ring when I want dinner. "I saw the waiter's eyes open to an abnormal extent, as he looked at the constable, and I saw a sudden blank apprehension creep over his face, as he retired very slowly from the room. "'Now, said Mr.
There he wrote a few lines, and ordered a messenger to take a cab to the Parker House and wait for the answer. He then sat down behind another newspaper and tried to calculate how long it would take a cab to get to the Parker House. "The lady was out, sir," he suddenly heard a waiter's voice at his elbow; and he stammered: "Out? " as if it were a word in a strange language.
It seemed a pity to render the waiter's zeal retroactively interested, but in view of the fact that he possibly expected the quarter, there was nothing else to do; and by a mysterious stroke of gratitude the waiter delivered them into the hands of a friend, who took another quarter from them for carrying their bags and wraps to the train.
"Not for more than a few weeks at a time, Joe, unless Rochester counts. Of course, I know Eastbourne very well." "I know Eastbourne from the inside," said Joe discursively. "I was a waiter there once." "An interesting life, a waiter's, Joe, I should think." "Ah! Everything comes to 'im who waits, they say. But abaht farmers you've got a lot to learn, sir."
My opponent, to whom I can give twenty, ran out when I was sixty-seven, and I put aside my cue pettishly. That in itself was bad form, but what would they have thought had they known that a waiter's impertinence caused it! I grew angrier with William as the night wore on, and next day I punished him by giving my orders through another waiter.
I told him all the details of the case, adding that I had only come to Soleure in the hopes of succeeding in my suit. "If that prove an impossibility," said I, "I shall leave Soleure in three or four days; but I will first turn the three ugly companions of my charmer into ridicule. They might have had sense enough to guess that the waiter's apron was only a disguise.
We must not take the waiter's story for granted until we have recovered the knife, and not necessarily then. But that story, as it stands, inclines to support the theory that the murder was committed by somebody in the inn. On the other hand, the theory of an outside murderer lends itself to a very plausible reconstruction of the crime.
It might be said that Hinkle's breakfast crowd was a contingent, but his luncheon patronage amounted to a horde. Miss Merriam sat on a stool at a desk inclosed on three sides by a strong, high fencing of woven brass wire. Through an arched opening at the bottom you thrust your waiter's check and the money, while your heart went pit-a-pat. For Miss Merriam was lovely and capable.
