"I know the West Indian islands," observed Etwald as they walked into the house, "and this day does remind me a little of the climate there; but it is scarcely hot enough."

"Get away from my Molly, man!" CHAPTER XII. THE STRANGE PERFUME. "Can't you guess from his self-accusation? Why, the woman he loved." Inspector Arkel, who could not see one inch beyond his nose, was quite satisfied with this explanation, and nodded in reply. He left the room with the major to seek out Jaggard, and, if possible, to learn from him what had occurred. But this they were unable to do.
