In the manuscript Miss Lamar is supposed to have a peculiar pendant at her throat. There was none." "Oh yes!" The promoter remained a moment in thought. "The doctor took it off and gave it to Bernie, the prop. boy, who's helping the electrician." "Is he outside?" "Yes." "Now try to remember, Mr. Manton." Kennedy leaned over very seriously.
"Why didn't you tell this to O'Neil?" "I tried to, but he wouldn't listen. When I said I was a detective he laughed in my face, and we had a scene. He told me I couldn't find a ham at a Hebrew picnic. Since then I've been working alone. Poggi has been lying low lately, but " Bernie hesitated, and a slight flush stole into his cheeks. "I've become acquainted with his wife we're good friends."
"I'll murder him!" exclaimed Dreux, with more savagery than his friend believed was in him. "Now, don't start all over again," Blake cautioned them. "You are mad about each other " "Nothing of the sort," declared Felicite. "At least Bernie worships you." The girl fell silent and beamed openly upon her lover. "Why don't you two end this sort of misunderstanding and marry?"
And I wanted to study the characters of my two nieces. Now you know you can't judge much of girls, unless you see them with their comrades, their chums; or at least with other girls of their own age. So I asked you each to bring a girl friend with you. As it happened, Bernie brought two, and Alicia none, but that didn't matter. And I'm exceedingly glad to have met and known the two D's."
But my decision, which I have made, is not entirely based on worthiness, or even on desirability. And I'll tell you frankly, had I tried to choose my favourite between Bernie and 'Licia, I should have had a hard time! For I have come to love both girls very dearly, and would have not the slightest objection to adopting them both." "And us two also?" asked Dotty, mischievously.
Bernie fell into a sudden panic of excitement. His face paled, he blinked with incredible rapidity, his lips twitched, and he clasped his thin, bloodless hands nervously. "Why are you really going and alone?" Norvin nodded. "If they have spies among our own men the least indiscretion may give the alarm. Besides, there is no time to lose; it would be madness to go there after dark. Will you come?"
It's just as bad to let the deceased members of your family support you as to allow the live ones " "Bernie!" Blake interrupted, gravely. "I'm afraid I won't marry Myra Nell." "You think she won't have you, eh? She has been acting queerly of late; but leave it to me." Norvin was spared the necessity of further explanation by the arrival of the girl herself.
I've always wanted to be a detective." He looked very grave, and at the same time a little shamefaced. "Do you suppose Donnelly could make me one?" "Well! This is rather startling," said Blake, with difficulty restraining a desire to laugh. "I I can wear disguises wonderfully well," Bernie went on, wistfully. "I learned when I was in college theatricals. I was really very good.
I don't trust any of them. Say! The more I think about that letter, the more I think it's a bluff." "You can't afford to ignore it." "Of course not. I'll plant O'Connell and another man outside on Thursday night and see if anything suspicious turns up, but I'll take my dinner elsewhere." The two men had finished their meal when Bernie Dreux strolled in and took the seat which Maruffi had vacated.
But he told you in spite of me, and when I saw your heart was set on it I I just couldn't refuse. I allowed him to loan me the money." "Bernie! Bernie!" Myra Nell rose and, turning her back upon him, stared out of the window into the dusk of the evening. At length she said, with a strange catch in her voice, "You're an anxious comfort, Bernie, for an orphan girl."
