From the centre window an excellent view might be obtained of Reuben struggling with the cabin-trunk, which the placid taxi-driver had unstrapped and lowered on to the janitor's shoulders without vacating his seat. "I hope he won't break the clock," said Flamby, sotto voce. She turned as Don went up to a little table at which a round old lady, the only occupant of the room, was seated writing.
But the manner in which the taxi-driver looked him up and down penetrated through the veil of abstraction which hitherto had rendered Kerry impervious to all external impressions, and: "Give me another look like that, my lad," he snapped furiously, "and I'll bash your head through your blasted wind-screen."
Letters lingered in it for days and days, as in some wild village of the Pyrenees. When I asked a taxi-driver to drive me to a post-office, a look of far-off vision and adventure came into his eyes, and he said he had once heard of a post-office somewhere near West Ninety-Seventh Street. Men are not efficient in everything, but only in the fashionable thing.
The petrified taxi-driver was gazing wildly at the peasants coming from the distant farms, attracted by the sound of the aeroplane. Don Luis took him by the throat and put the barrel of his revolver to the man's temple: "Tell me what you know or you're a dead man."
The inspector nodded. "Oh, I know Sam Stay all right, sir. We've had him in here two or three times. He used to be a taxi-driver didn't you know that?" Tarling did not know that. He had intended looking up Sam's record that day, but something had occurred to put the matter out of his mind. "Well, he can't go far," he said.

"He took you around the corner, and there a milkman saw you all getting into the taxi. So I grabs another taxi I had money belongin' to Old to Mr. Gordon in my pocket. "That taxi-driver was a keen one, he was. He trailed your machine like he was trackin' a band of Injuns.
"Then that gray car can hardly have been our gray car," commented Theydon, deeming it wise to prevent the sharp-witted taxi-driver from jumping at conclusions. "I'm afraid not, sir. Still, I just took the liberty " "I'm very much obliged to you, of course. I said half-a-crown, didn't I? Here you are. Keep an eye open for XY 1314 and let me know if you hear or see anything of it."
They have never seen San Francisco by week-day sunlight. Then there are home women and leisure women to whom San Francisco is always afternoon, down-town in the shopping district with ladies in pretty clothes passing each other on the street or in and out of the sweet-scented stores.
