"Did you catch them, Dick?" his sister inquired breathlessly. "Did you have them arrested?"
"No, I lost them," announced Dick in a disgusted tone; "I couldn't have them arrested anyway on the little we know; this is a free country. But I sure would have liked to see their faces. All the time they had their backs towards us, and I merely glanced at them when they first came in. I do wish I'd been more observing."
"What would you have done had you caught them?" asked Ursula.
"I'm sure I don't know; only I'd have pointed them out to that house detective, for one thing."
"Could you identify any of them if you saw them again?" asked Henry.
"I'd know that big brute of a German by his back, in a million, but I'm not sure of the others,--yes, I believe I could tell the Englishman too."
"I should know him if I ever saw him again," said Ursula. "I never should forget that peculiar suit of clothes he wore, nor----"
Both the boys broke into a shout of laughter at this remark and Dick said:
"That's like a woman; noticing the dress first of all."
