I was so absorbed in my own thoughts that I did not at first notice Dicky's embarrassment when Mr. Brennan asked him if he knew Grace Draper. It was only when the man, who had all the earmarks of a gossiping countryman, repeated the question, that I realized Dicky's confusion. "Did you say you knew her?" "Yes, I know her; she works in my studio," remarked Dicky, shortly. "Oh!"
He's a good man for you to know, because if we're not mistaken he's going to start something that will keep him on the front page for some time to come." Brennan came hustling out of the phone booth. "She asked if you were here wants to speak to you," he said. "To me? Who?" asked John. "Miss Carrillo. I telephoned her place to try to reach Gibson.
She said" something like a spasm shook the slender body and her face quivered "that she, Mrs. Wade, was gone away. Do you know what she called her, Lady O'Gara? She called her my mother my mother." The suffering eyes were full upon her. Lady O'Gara found nothing to say that could serve any useful purpose. "Yes, I know," she said aimlessly. "It was old Lizzie Brennan.
"You boys might as well have these." He hesitated, a half-smile on his lips. "You may need them," he added. John saw Brennan look at Gibson with what he thought was unbounded admiration. The commissioner held out his hand. "Well, Brennan," he said. "What do you think of it?" "It's a peach," Brennan said, taking Gibson's hand. "And here's luck, Mr. Commissioner.
Month after month he bought them and read them, comparing the styles of the many writers against the style of the manuscript copy left behind by James. Brennan naturally assumed that James would use a pen name. Writers often used pen names to conceal their own identity for any one of several reasons.
The mayor swung the automobile into the first street intersecting Spring street, toward Main, stopping it at Brennan's instructions so that it could be driven into the alley without difficulty. Brennan, Smith, Murphy and John left the machine and hurried into the alley. Murphy carried a brace and bit hidden under his coat.
"I'm willing to write out a check right now for $1,000 to be given to charity the minute I announce myself as candidate for mayor or for any other public elective office," Gibson declared. "No need, Mr. Commissioner," Brennan said. "We'd like you to stand for a photograph, if you have no strenuous objection." Gibson smiled. "I suppose I'll have to," he said. "How do you want me?"
It was incomprehensible information, about in the same way that the printing press "knows" the context of its metal plate. So if the delicate heart of his father's machine were utterly destroyed, Paul Brennan would be extremely careful about preserving the life of James Quincy Holden. He considered his position and what he knew: Physically, he was a five-year-old.
The mayor's secretary ushered them into his office immediately. He greeted them both warmly and opened the conversation with a question directed to Brennan. "What do you make of Gibson's raid yesterday?" he asked. "We'll answer that by telling you something mighty interesting," said Brennan. "Gallant here has some information that will knock your eye out."
I heard the sliding doors shut behind us, and almost with the sound was again upon my feet. "To the stairs!" I panted. "Brennan, take the women to the stairs; those fellows are not in the hallway yet, and we can hold them there a while."
