There she was! In the bright, prismatic little circle of the lenses he could see Titania. Heavenly creature, in her white V-necked blouse and brown skirt, there she was looking at a book. He saw her put out one arm and caught the twinkle of her wrist-watch.
Sir Lucien's wrist-watch was broken at seven-fifteen evidently at the time of his death; and this man Mareno does not claim to have left the flat until after that hour." "I know it, sir," said Kerry. "He took out the car at half-past seven. What I want to know is where he went to!" The Assistant Commissioner glanced rapidly into the speaker's fierce eyes.
"I expect I am!" she laughed, and sidelong caught the direction of his glance. "Of course I oughtn't to wear it in the daytime it's an evening thing, for the theater but my day wrist-watch is out of gear. Bobby Lamhorn broke it yesterday; he's a regular rowdy sometimes. Do you want Claus to help you in?" "Oh no," said Bibbs. "I'm alive."
He bent a little as he shot his wrist-watch forward enough to look at the phosphorescent dial. "Twenty minutes past three," he said as if it was the most commonplace hour in the world to be driving through a country road. For a moment she did not take it in. Then she threw dignity to the winds. She was rested enough to have some fight in her again. "I'm going home!
She waited two minutes. She looked at a wrist-watch in a leather band while she tapped her sensibly clad foot. She tried again: "We're waiting, deary!" There was no answer from within, and it was two minutes more before the door was opened.
Fleur whisked round, threw him a wave of her hand. "Good-bye, Mr. M. M.!" she called, and was gone among the rose-trees. She looked at her wrist-watch and the windows of the house. It struck her as curiously uninhabited. Past six! The pigeons were just gathering to roost, and sunlight slanted on the dove-cot, on their snowy feathers, and beyond in a shower on the top boughs of the woods.
Farrel glanced critically at his wrist-watch and seemed to ponder this. "I fear five minutes is all I can permit, sir," he replied. "If he should be unable to walk from his room, Murray, who is the soul of thoughtfulness, will doubtless assist him to the waiting automobile."
For a time this little thunderstorm undoubtedly cleared the air. For a day or two Maud was happier than she ever remembered to have been. Arthur's behaviour was unexceptionable. He bought her a wrist-watch light brown leather, very smart. He gave her some chocolates to eat in the Tube. He entertained her with amazing statistics, culled from the weekly paper which he bought on Tuesdays.
Jeff, if it's that hard to wake up and know that you're no longer a soldier, I reckon your wrist-watch is acting too much like a reminder-string around a Jane's finger! Better hang it from the end of your nose. It's a wonder he didn't give you the bayonet!" "The butt was aplenty, sir!"
"If I can make one nest in two hours, I can make two more in four more, and then I will have time for the rest of the things," I assured myself as I again looked at my wrist-watch, and began to saw with my knee holding the tough old plank in place across a rickety box. It is beautiful how sometimes deserving courage is rewarded if it just goes on deserving long enough.
