Weatherley felt unaccountably relieved. He felt at the same time a certain measure of annoyance with his junior clerk for his unaltered composure. "I shall be very much pleased, sir," he answered, without hesitation. "About eight, I suppose?" Again Mr. Weatherley's relief was tempered with a certain amount of annoyance. This young man's savoir faire was out of place.
Weatherley's boudoir, but there was no one in the house or apparently within reach who was either likely to have committed such a crime, or who even could possibly have done so. On the other hand, there are this man's companions, desperate fellows, no doubt, within fifty yards all the time. My own impression is that he was killed first and then placed in the spot where he was found.
Already the people were beginning to crowd into the lower room, a curious, cosmopolitan mixture, mostly foreigners, and nearly all arriving in twos and threes from the neighboring business houses. At twenty minutes to one, Mr. Weatherley's beautiful car turned slowly into the narrow street and drove up to the entrance. Arnold hurried forward to open the door and Fenella descended.
Weatherley's disappearance is too serious a matter for me to take such trifles into account." She pointed to the letter which still lay upon the table. "Is it not his expressed wish that you should make no effort towards solving the reasons for his disappearance?" "There is no reason," Arnold answered, doggedly, "why one should not attempt to understand them." Mr.
They were all very hard to place for such a respectable household as Mr. Weatherley's should be." "They were not really, then, Mr. Weatherley's friends?" she asked quietly. "As a matter of fact, they were not," he admitted. "That may have had something to do with it. Mrs. Weatherley was a foreigner. She came from a little island somewhere in the Mediterranean, and is half Portuguese.
Weatherley's disappearance coming on the top of it all simply makes my brain reel. I can't do anything to help straighten things out. Therefore, I am going to do what I am told I am going to mind my own business." "To think only of Tooley Street," she murmured. "I shall find it quite enough," he answered. "I want to understand all the details of the business, and it isn't easy at first. Mr.
She left the room without even a backward glance, closely followed by the cashier. Arnold stood looking after the retreating figures for a moment, then he turned away with a hard little laugh. Once more he read and re-read Mr. Weatherley's letter. Before he had finished, Mr. Jarvis came bustling back into the room. "Well!" he exclaimed, dramatically. "Well!" Arnold looked across at him.
Captain Barton's Volunteer Horse and Colonel Weatherley's troop suffered most heavily, losing no less than 86 men and 12 officers. Among these were Colonel Weatherley himself, Captain Hamilton of the Connaught Rangers, and Captains Campbell and Burton of the Coldstream Guards. The rest of the force succeeded in getting away, and, hotly pursued, fell back upon the camp at Kambula.
Weatherley for any other reason than because he was a rich man?" Arnold was silent for a moment. Somehow or other, he had accepted the fact of her being Mrs. Weatherley without thinking much as to its significance. "I suppose," he admitted, "that Mr. Weatherley's money was an inducement." "There is never anything but evil," Mr.
"We haven't time, nowadays, for luncheon parties. On the whole, I think I should be justified in putting the amount down to petty cash. I might even debit Mrs. Weatherley's account with it." Sabatini took out his cigarette case. "You will forgive me?" he said. "In your offices, I believe, it is not the custom, but I must confess that I find your atmosphere abominable. Last night I saw Fenella.
