"A pain I just took about my heart," said Moriarty, pressing both hands to his heart. "My poor fellow! Wait! you'll be better just now, I hope," said Ormond, laying his hand on Moriarty's shoulder. "I'll never be better of it, I fear," said Moriarty, withdrawing his shoulder; and giving a jealous glance at the rose, he turned his head away again.
On the whole, then, it was best that I should risk the climb. It was not a pleasant business, Watson. The fall roared beneath me. I am not a fanciful person, but I give you my word that I seemed to hear Moriarty's voice screaming at me out of the abyss. A mistake would have been fatal.
There was only one thing to do, and I did it, giving Moriarty's message to the end. "The insolent, conceited idiot!" said the Colonel scornfully.
"Six thousand a year. That's paying for brains, you see the American business principle. I learned that detail quite by chance. It's more than the Prime Minister gets. That gives you an idea of Moriarty's gains and of the scale on which he works. Another point: I made it my business to hunt down some of Moriarty's checks lately just common innocent checks that he pays his household bills with.
This is how all these unaccountable marriages are brought about; though, to be sure, I have the dubious satisfaction of knowing that the enterprise brings me a good many days' march nearer home." The expression of heavenly beatitude on Moriarty's face goaded my mind to activity.
Nicky had not availed himself of the knowledge. "Well, if it ain't Nicky! I just seen you come out of Moriarty's as I was passing." "I'm off 'safternoon." "Are yuh? So'm I." Nicky said nothing. Miss Bauers shifted from one plump silken leg to the other. "What you doing?" "Oh, nothing much." "So'm I. Let's do it together." Miss Bauers employed the direct method. "Well," said Nick, vaguely.
"Well," said the latter, rising from one knee, "even if they are spies, you need not treat them as if they were wild beasts." "Captain Moriarty's orders," said the Boer, whom I recognised as my captor of the previous night. "Bah!" growled the other angrily. "You are soldiers now; act like them."
"I do not, and what's more nobody could. For there's no tune in it, only noise." The doctor hesitated. Moriarty's opinion was in one respect quite satisfactory. Neither Gallagher nor anyone else in Ballymoy was likely to recognise the tune. It might, of course, fail to impress the Lord-Lieutenant as being quite the proper thing. But that was a difficulty which could be got over.
"Only I t'ought I'd let youse know. I was passin' Moriarty's an' got de tip. Say, some guy's croaked Jake Metzer dere." "Aw, ferget it!" observed the Runt airily. "Dat's stale. Was wise to dat hours ago." Jimmie Dale's face fell. "But I just come from dere," he insisted; "an' de harness bulls only just found it out." "Mabbe," grunted the Runt. "But Metzer got his early in de afternoon see?"
There had been no news of him, no one had seen him and this after fully an hour had passed since Jimmie Dale had left Carruthers in front of Moriarty's. The possibilities however were still legion numbered only by the numberless dives and dens sheltered by that quarter of the city. Jimmie Dale turned into Chatham Square, heading for the Pagoda Dance Hall.
