People did not come to the station to be insulted. Three seconds later the dusty-faced little girl and her moue were sped utterly from William's mind.
She had entered the telephone-booth, which she had caused to be installed out of an extra closet of her bedroom for the sake of greater privacy on occasion, and it was during her absence from the drawing-room that Garson again came into the apartment, seeking her.
"This is fair warning," continued Orme. He glanced to the drug store and saw the girl coming out of the telephone-booth. Hastening across the street, he met her at the door. "If father had had any idea of such complications when we came West," she said, "there would have been plenty of men near by to help us. As it is, we shall have to act alone.
At seventeen minutes past three o'clock Bessie Lonsdale hurried into a telephone-booth in Victoria Station, called up a friend, and asked her to tea.

He stared at the red-and-green globes in the druggist's window; inspected a display of soaps, and recollected the fact that for a week now he had failed to take home any shaving-soap and had had to use ordinary hand-soap.

As soon as Redfield replied, he burst forth in question: "Is it true that the chief is out?" Redfield's voice was husky as he replied, "Yes, lad, they've got him." "Good Lord! What a blow to the service!" exclaimed Cavanagh, with a groan of sorrow and rage.
He then returned to the Hotel Sequoia and sat in the lobby until handed a telegram at 4:40; whereupon he entered the telephone-booth and talked to someone, emerging at 4:43 to go to his room. He returned at 4:46 and hurried to the law-office of Henry Poundstone, Junior, in the Cardigan Block.
