Then came that ominous signature, in capitals: THE BISHOP. I was in hopes, explained Vance, of surprising some look ofrecognition or understanding from him.
Calling in a chess expert on the subject ofbishops, eh? Pardee gave Vance a quick, inquisitive look.
Half an hour later the light goes out, and says I: Shes put tobed. Miss Dillard once tried tointerest me in the sport, but I was not a very promising acolyte. If hes got anything to tell hell tell it quick enough after heslocked up.
Pardee drew himself upas if he had been struck in the face; and his cheeks went chalkywhite. At once Irecognized the paper and the faint blue characters of the élitetype. Half an hour later the light goes out, and says I: Shes put tobed. But the idea has been workin in me ever since the professormentioned it. Oh, I say, Miss Dillard; theres one point I forgot to ask youabout.
I can see that this thing hasgot to be calculated from a new angle.
Nor are we accountableto you for our actions.
It was misty, and the setting was somewhat obscured. Ive been interestedfor years in the relation of mathematics to chess. But, pon my soul, Markham,I didnt expect any effect like the one I produced.
Jerking it open he held it for us topass out.
Was there any one on guard in front of the Drukker house lastnight? We dropped Arnesson at the subway, and he took leave of uswith scarcely a word. As a friend of the family youprobably know; and wed appreciate your confidence in the matter. He stood on the little porch and watched us, like a japishgargoyle, as we crossed the street.
Pardee colored, and shifted in his chair. Ithought, in the circumstances, it might be well to see him now. There was,however, no sign of jubilance in his expression.
Was that why I was to be keptin the dark?
Ive always had the feeling that she and Arnesson would some daybe married. Vance at length stood up, as if to break the tension of histhoughts, and walked to the window.
The manset to guard the rear of the Drukker residence spent an uneventfulnight. Youdbetter take a wagon and a John-Doe warrant in case he offers anyobjection.
How far away were you last night from the door of the alleywaybetween the two apartment houses?
