"And, a detective?"
"Well, why not? Somehow he has picked up all the arts and graces of a gentleman."
"Really! Not much like the other one then."
"Not in the least. The other is eccentric, explosive, amusing. This one is like a lawyer; very non-committal, not at all inclined to tell all he knows."
"Oh! have you told him about the chloroform?"
"Yes; he has the bottle."
"Well, what did he say?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing!"
"Not a word."
