章節(jié)摘錄

　　Hale pushed his way angrily to the door and opened itin the hope that Simpson had but just sneaked out.　Closingthe door behind him to shut in the noise of the club-room,he listened in the darkness for the sound of retreating foot-steps, but all was quiet.　Like someone just missing a trainit was essential he should catch, he stood there so baffledthat it seemed some miraculous happening must defeat the logicof Simpsons escapeu.　　He thought of following him to his house, but would notcare to say what he had to say in front of his wife.　He turnedon his heel and went back into the club-room.　　Galling as the delay was, it yet served to allow of matureconsideration of the form of the indictment, Protests madein a hurry can leave out telling points. And a man maycommit a treacherous act and just because the right wordsof accusation are not found, may think his infamy is not fullyrealized, and may even become only half-convinced of it him-self.　Hale did not waste the time of waiting; he got on tomore familiar terms with the injury done him, and would havemore to say than he would have had in the first place.　　Perhaps you think Im the only one to know you forwhat you are——that Im sore-because I lost "it, but that noone else is taking any notice.　All right, take Chadwick, a manyou like to stand well with.　I saw you and him talking andhaving a drink just as usual.
