"Of course not. That would be far from agreeable."
"If he could only be searched, I might find the pocket-book on him."
"In order to do that, he must be charged with the robbery."
"That is true. It will be rather awkward for a boy like me to do that."
"I'll tell you what you had better do, my young friend. Speak to the conductor."

"You say the man is in the smoking-car?" said the conductor, who had listened attentively.
"Yes."
