Anyway, she couldn’t say that no one had given her a Christmas present.,"It almost amounts to it," says Nicholas, with a frown.,"Who'd be a sailor in the Merchant Service!" exclaimed General Groves.,There was a poor young man. He was very poor. His father, his mother, and all his relations were dead. He had no lodge, no wife to tan his robes or make his moccasins. His clothes were always old and worn. He had no home.

As yet the inspector--no very gifted man at the most--was doubtful of the proper course to pursue. A crime had been committed; the victim was a well-known gentleman; so here, if anywhere, was a chance of his covering himself with glory by discovering the assassin.
