Inspector French I recall him as an uncouth, illiterate bungler who subsequently tried to get a lot of publicity out of my arrest as if he himself had detected the whole concern, instead of having it thrust under his nose by the London chemical company was preparing to ride over me roughshod.

"But I'm mighty glad he turned old Baxter down. That villain would ride over us roughshod." "I think, all told, we have gained a point," continued Dick.
