For the second time on that eventful morning Sergeant Clegg felt at loggerheads with circumstances. For the second time he felt that the Law had received a set-back-that he, its accredited representative, had been flouted!
Charles Stewart looked at him somewhat anxiously. How was he going to take this feminine outburst? Stewart attempted to smooth things over. "A trifle hysterical, I fancy, Sergeant, and it's scarcely to be wondered at. She's had a trying time-I know what it's been like to me-it must be a thousand times worse for her."
