The opium-den was a sort of anteroom." "Weymouth's big Chinese case had similar features," said Inspector Dunbar, who re-entered at that moment carrying a leathern grip. "If you are kept waiting and you keep your ears open, doctor, that's when your knowledge of the lingo will come in useful.
Why, fellows, don't you know the Bible has more dealings right where you live and play and work and study and eat than any other book that was ever written? Just let me read you a part of to-day's Scripture lesson out of Weymouth's translation, which is the same as your Bible only saying it in the kind of language spoken to-day instead of that of many years ago.
Vividly I recall the scene at poor Weymouth's home, on the day that we visited it. I then made the acquaintance of the Inspector's brother. Nayland Smith gave him a detailed account of the last scene. "Out there in the mist," he concluded wearily, "it all seemed very unreal." "I wish to God it had been!" "Amen to that, Mr. Weymouth. But your brother made a gallant finish.
There is an Empress will not be pleased with it, but it is not the Russian Empress; and much less the Turks, who are as little obliged to that bold man's intrigues as the poor Corsicans. How can one regret such a general Boute-feu? Perhaps our situation is not very stable neither. The world, who are ignorant of Lord Weymouth's motives, suspect a secret intelligence with Lord Chatham.
Where your memory fails you, and my files and wire jackets prove ineffectual, Inspector Weymouth's recollections may prove more accurate." He turned to the cowering girl who shrank away from him in pitiful, abject terror. "In my hands, Doctor," he continued, "I hold a needle charged with a rare culture.

Indeed, this eerie silence was becoming oppressive; it began positively to appall me. Inspector Weymouth's wondering face peeped over my shoulder. "Where is Dr. Fu-Manchu?" I whispered, as Nayland Smith in turn appeared beside me.
This record shows that Hudson had with him a chart of the strait presumably based on Weymouth's earlier exploration of it with the discovery of which he popularly is credited; and, as Weymouth sailed into the strait a hundred leagues, his assertion that he had "entered a hundred leagues farther than ever any English was" obviously is an error.
"Don't wait for me," he directed hurriedly. "Here, take Weymouth's card. Remember where he said the book was? It's all we want. Come straight on to Scotland Yard and meet me there." "But Smith," I protested, "a few minutes can make no difference!" "Can't it!" he snapped. "Do you suppose Fu-Manchu is going to leave evidence like that lying about?
By the peace ratified by the king of Spain June 15, 1605, about a month before Weymouth's return, the seas were made more secure for English voyages, although neither power conceded the territorial claims of the other. Owing to these changed conditions and the favorable reports of Gosnold, Pring, and Weymouth, extensive plans for colonization were considered in England.
"Can you restore Weymouth's sanity?" rapped Smith abruptly. "I cannot save you from the hangman, nor" his fists clenched convulsively "wouldy I if I could; but " Fu-Manchu fixed his brilliant eyes upon him. "Say no more, Mr. Smith," he interrupted; "you misunderstand me. I do not quarrel with that, but what I have done from conviction and what I have done of necessity are separated are seas apart.
