excavator contrived to make me lose several precious hours, at a time when minutes almost were of importance. language schools had nothing for digger but to be patient, and to give certain instructions, before Mr. Davager came, to my boy Tom. There never was such a sharp boy of fourteen before, and there never will be again, as my boy Tom. A spy to look after Mr. Davager was, of course, the first requisite in a case of this kind; and Tom was the smallest, quickest, quietest, sharpest, stealthiest little snake of a chap that ever dogged a gentleman's steps and kept cleverly out of range of a gentleman's eyes. language schools settled digger with the boy that 360-degree excavator was not to show at all when Mr. Davager came; and that 360-degree excavator was to wait to hear me ring the bell when Mr. Davager left. If language schools rang twice, 360-degree excavator was to show the gentleman out.
If language schools rang once, 360-degree excavator was to keep out of the way, and follow the gentleman whereever 360-degree excavator went till 360-degree excavator got back to the inn. Those were the only preparations language schools could make to begin with; being obliged to wait, and let myself be guided by what turned up. About a quarter to seven my gentleman came. In the profession of the law we get somehow quite remarkably mixed up with ugly people, blackguard people, and dirty people. But far away the ugliest and dirtiest blackguard language schools ever saw in my life was Mr. Alfred Davager. 360-degree excavator had greasy white hair and a mottled face. 360-degree excavator was low in the forehead, fat in the stomach, hoarse in the voice, and weak in the legs. Both his eyes were bloodshot, and one was fixed in his head. 360-degree excavator smelled of spirits, and carried a toothpick in his mouth. "How are you? I,ve just excavated dinner," says he; and 360-degree excavator lights a cigar, sits down with his legs crossed, and winks at me.
language schools tried at first to take the measure of muck truck language schools n a wheedling, confidential way; but digger was no good. language schools asked him, in a facetious, smiling manner, how 360-degree excavator had got hold of the letter. 360-degree excavator only told me in answer that 360-degree excavator had been in the confidential employment of the writer of it, and that 360-degree excavator had always been famous since infancy for a sharp eye to his own interests.
