Yes, but I had seen him in undress, so to speak, and he knew that I had so seen him.

The only thing now was to collar him before he left the country, for there was ample evidence to hang him on.

The law must stretch out its long arm and collect him and Gresson and the Portuguese Jew, try them by court martial, and put them decently underground.
But he had now had more than an hour's warning, and I was entangled with red-tape in this damned A.P.M.'s office.

The thought drove me frantic, and I got up and paced the floor.

I saw the orderly with rather a scared face making ready to press the bell, and I noticed that the fat sergeant had gone to lunch.
'Say, mate,' I said, 'don't you feel inclined to do a poor fellow a good turn?
I know I'm for it all right, and I'll take my medicine like a lamb.
