“What do you think of that, chief?� asked Patsy.

“It is interesting, lad. Now, Timothy—is that your name?â€�

“It is, sor. Timothy Tucker, from Cork, sor.�

“How was the woman dressed?�

“Faith, I dunno, sor; only her shoes were new and fine, and she seemed dressed too well to be carryin’ bundles to cooks. She had on a long coat that covered her all over, like them things they wears in automobiles.�

“You did not keep an eye on her after you directed her how to find Mrs. Maguire?�

“No, sor. I wint on wid me worruk.�

“And forgot all about her, I suppose?�

“Faith, I did that—until this gintleman axed me about her.â€�

“That will do, Timothy. You may go, now; but you may forget all about this interview, and not talk about it to others.�
