Battleships are not in the habit of blowing themselves up, and it is the expectation that the establishment of American authority in Cuba will be followed by the unraveling of this murderous plot. "He should have reduced the forts, seized the city, discovered the assassins, and hanged them." "But that would have been defiance of the orders of the Navy Department," responded his auditor, aghast.
"I confess," said he, "I have sometimes succeeded in unraveling mysteries that the cleverest detectives have renounced; yet I do not claim to be Sherlock Holmes. Moreover, I know very little about the affair of the Queen's Necklace." Everybody now turned to the count, who was thus obliged, quite unwillingly, to narrate all the circumstances connected with the theft.
The judgment is, I think, a characteristic judgment of that man of formulas often so brilliant and often so mistaken who, in the famous History of English Literature, taught his English readers as much by his blunders as by his merits. He provoked us into thinking. And what critic does more? Is not the whole fraternity like so many successive Penelopes, each unraveling the web of the one before?
Outside the pizzicato of the crowds, the Great City, shining, dragon-eyed, through the mist the City That Has No Heart. And here under our nose, twinkling up at our eyes, a huge tray full of 10-cent wedding rings. End of Act One. Act Two, now Madge, the sharp-tongued, weary-eyed young woman behind the counter.

Neither Paris hospital confession, nor Mary Dodge's story, nor strange romance of Oswald Langdon has been hinted at by me. "There is no telling how much such information, promptly communicated, might have affected plans of these sleuths in unraveling such complicated villainies.
I have great hope of your success in unraveling this mystery of the necklace." "With your permission," Ned replied, "and in your presence, I would like to ask your man a few questions." Pedro turned a pair of venomous eyes toward the speaker for just an instant. Then he stood respectfully looking at his master again.
"That would show guilt and cowardice. I'd much rather remain here and take what comes."

They will not consider any theory other than your guilt.
Waring sat next him, unraveling one of the old cotton-flannel over-shirts, and twisting the fibres into large wicks; while La Salle made a cover of the last remaining sheet-iron decoy, with holes for six wicks.
