"I'll go with you to find that out, and that only. But I'll not do any spying." Hilliard was satisfied with his diplomacy. "I quite see your point," he said smoothly, "and I confess I think you are right. We'll go and take a look round, and if we find things are all right we'll come away again and there's no harm done. That agreed?" Merriman nodded. "What's the program then?" he asked.

He had all along nourished a bitter animosity against Kruger, and in regard to him, as well as Messrs. Schreiner, Merriman, Hofmeyr, Sauer and other one-time colleagues, he carried his vindictiveness to an extent so terrible that more than once it led him into some of the most regrettable actions in his life.
He gave Miss Merriman a significant look; but his only response was, "Well, unless you want another job that of bringing back to life people who have starved to death you had better get us a bite to eat and some of your strong coffee. My internal anatomy ..." "Oh, I plumb forgot. You haven't had a thing to eat nor poor granddaddy, either. I'm so ashamed I could die."
"A big man, sir," the sergeant answered. "Tall, and broad too. Clean shaven, with heavy features, very determined looking." Willis had food for thought as he returned to his hotel. Merriman had been thrilled when he learned of the proximity of the distillery to the syndicate's depot, seeing therein an argument in favor of the brandy smuggling theory.
It happened that Merriman was not engaged that evening, and shortly after ten the two men were occupying the same arm-chairs at the same open window, their glasses within easy reach and their cigars well under way. "And what is your great idea?" Merriman asked when they had conversed for a few moments. "If it's as good as your cigars, I'm on."
He suddenly brought his doubled fist down upon the Prophet's knee. "No," cried Hennessey. "Certainly not!" "Why, sir, how can I be when I tell you that Merriman & Saxster of Regent Street are my tailors, and have been since my first pair of trouserings? Do I bear myself prophetically?

"Of course, Miss Frost would be the right person," said Lucy, suddenly raising her voice, for it seemed to her that she saw the very opportunity she wished for in this unexpected absence of Rosamund. "I shall probably only be away for a day.
"Sometimes, dear! Sometimes! But I am going to see Mr. Merriman on that very point this evening. I want you to be constantly with her." "How can I be if I have to do all my lessons?" "I will write to your mother. Something will have to be done. I can't lose this one chance. It was Heaven directed me; and, oh, your face in church so like your mother's, and withal so spirited and so sweet!
Under these circumstances his anxiety as to the progress of the case was very great, and on several occasions he had written to Willis asking him how his inquiry was going on. But the inspector had not been communicative, and Merriman had no idea how matters actually stood. It was therefore with feelings of pleasurable anticipation that he received a telephone call from Willis at Scotland Yard.
