And Australia is soplaced on map it might be appropriate end of journey from
Peshawar. You are partially consumed with wonder at my return?
What other
guests did Sir Frederic request? Neither of usmoved from there at any time. In
thecentral room they found Captain Flannery, a gray-haired, energeticpoliceman
of about fifty. Yet you discover apearl beneath the office desk. Hestood before
the two young people, ill at ease. Dont look at me like that,she cried
ruefully.
I only trust, Chan said, he grows up worthy of his name. When he
returned to the hotel to get his bags, Miss Morrow waswaiting for him. Not more
than half an hour, replied the doctor. It was almost as though he had been
expecting it. Yesterday, when delicious lunch was ended, I hear of Li Gung from
SirFrederic. Moment of gentle embarrassment for me, he said. Never been excited
inyour life, I suppose? True enough, I stepped out on the stairs for a
cigarette-Carry, you fool, his wife cried.
All expressed most clearly, approved
Chan.
I dont like to flatteryou, you grinning beggar, but I couldnt do without
you.
A girl who is employed in the office of the Calcutta Importers, on
thisfloor. He noddedtoward a pretty girl in gray, with a cluster of orchids
pinned to hershoulder. He remained in the roadster, while the girl and Charlie
went upto the district attorneys offices. Difficult enough toshadow if he does
not suspect. Same was at thedead mans elbow when he fell.
I had gone out into
the garden- Again she related herexperience.
An American citizen, a future boy
scout under the Americanflag, he should have an American name.
Chan told him,
then turned to the young people at his side. Thedistrict attorney has put this
whole affair in my hands, and its my bigchance.
The woman took another step,
and he stood with the scarf inhis hand. Humbly begging pardon to intrude, said
Chan. Will you kindlydeliver same to my oldest son, who will call for it when
you have dockedat Honolulu? I would arouse inthe night to think about it. With
Kirk and Charlie Chan, she returned to the twentieth floor. Accept my advice,
and take heart bravely.
A fourth lady to require your kind attention. I ordered
the night-watchman to lock thefront door and bring everybody in the building
here.
You shallhave Sir Frederics room, he added. Better men than the Captain
might also pause in yawning doubt.
I had gone out into the garden- Again she
related herexperience. Very interestingcase, but as I have heard my slanging
cousin Willie say, I am not takingany of it.
