"I tell you what, Mallow, this case may turn out to be a bigger thing than either of us suspect." "It's quite big enough for me as it is," retorted Cuthbert, "although I don't know what you mean.

All I desire is to get to the root of the matter and marry Juliet.

Find Miss Loach's assassin, Jennings, and don't bother about this dead-and-gone coining case." "There's a connection between the two," said Jennings, obstinately; "it's impossible to say how the connection comes about, but I feel that a discovery in one case entails a discovery in the other.

If I can prove that Miss Loach was killed by one of the old coiners--" "What will happen then ?" "I may stumble on the factory that is in existence now." He would have gone on to explain himself more fully, but that Mallow's man entered with the information that a young person was waiting and asked for Mr.Jennings.

Mallow ordered the servant to admit her, and shortly Susan Grant, nervous and blushing, entered the room.
"I am glad to see you," said Jennings, placing a chair for her.
