Was he your natural father? Did you
know him?”
“No, I didn’t. When he comes he will do that raid of the pantechnicons
the justice it deserves; he will picture the orderly evening scene about the
Imperial Legislature in convincing detail, the coming and going of cabs and
motor-cabs and broughams through the chill, damp evening into New Palace
Yard, the reinforced but untroubled and unsuspecting police about the entries of
those great buildings whose square and panelled Victorian Gothic streams up
from the glare of the lamps into the murkiness of the night; Big Ben shining
overhead, an unassailable beacon, and the incidental traffic of Westminster, cabs,
carts, and glowing omnibuses going to and from the bridge. So I introduced him to
my father-in-law like a shot. Are we to see him here?"
"Yes, my love. At this juncture, and just as a cuckoo-clock in
the corner struck sis, Jack Sheppard walked into the room, with the packing-case
under his arm. "The lash cuts to the bone. I should as soon think of
trusting a woman. "You do love me?"
"God knows how much!" Suddenly he laid his head on her shoulder. "
The walls appeared to rock; bulging shadows reached out; the candle flames
became mocking eyes; and the blood drummed thunderously in Spurlock's ears. "
"Six weeks have elapsed since that fatal night," replied Jack. However, if I've lost one servant, I've gained another, that's one
comfort. I
can pull the strings of this stiff-necked puppet as I please.
