"See, Signor Carlo," she said; "I was right. Luigi, you will be a spy no more?" Carlo Ammiani happened to be rolling a cigarette-paper. She put out her fingers for it, and then reached it to Luigi, who accepted it with singular contortions of his frame, declaring that he would confess everything to her. "Yes, signorina, it is true; I am a spy on you. I know the houses you visit.
"What have you done with your tongue?" "Beg pardon, sir? Nothing, sir." "Because you don't talk. Aren't you well?" "Well, sir? No, sir; not quite, sir." "Take some pills!" growled Lacey. "Pills, sir? I 'ate pills!" "More stupid you. Swallow them at once!" "Beg pardon, sir?" "I say, swallow them at once. Best way is to wrap them in cigarette-paper." "Beg pardon, sir! A mistake, sir.

"Say! The cuff-buttons are gone, the cuff-buttons are gone! One pair of them, anyhow. Come quick! The earl is nearly wild about it. Money's no object to him!" the apparition yelled at us.
