Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman "By the way, Raffles, how did you know my name was Bourne?" asked Jack. Acton's Feud A Public School Story As Raffles looked at me, I looked at Crawshay, anticipating trouble; and trouble brewed in his blank, fierce face, in the glitter of his startled eyes, in the sudden closing of his fists. The Amateur Cracksman All the morning papers were full of the strange recovery of the Burlingame stomacher the following Tuesday morning, and the name of Raffles Holmes was in every mouth. R. Holmes & Co. “You need a bit of exercise this weather, you do,” remarked Raffles to himself, as he retired, “to keep warm.” Roger Ingleton, Minor At the same moment I heard the shuffling feet and the low, excited young voices on the other side of the door, and a faint light shone round Raffles's wrist. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman "He's a monitor, though, Raffles, which is a different sort of animal." Acton's Feud A Public School Story Raffles was not on board, nor did I really look for him till we reached the liner's side. The Amateur Cracksman "I am dull of comprehension, Raffles," said I. "Tell me exactly what you mean." R. Holmes & Co. Besides, lastly, the water in his bath, he could see, was frozen; and it was hopeless on a day like this to expect that Raffles would bring him sufficient hot, even to shave with.

Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman I would have asked Worcester or Chalmers if it had been any good, but they would not know Raffles from Adam.

Holmes & Co. Raffles, reflecting within himself that the Captain must have a vast amount of correspondence if he could afford to chuck away an interesting document like this, took the letter and retired. Roger Ingleton, Minor So we went on for a few of those dark days, Raffles very glum and grim, till one fine morning the Yeomanry idea put new heart into us all. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman It is ten thousand pities, but you are the only fellow who knows Raffles here. Acton's Feud A Public School Story It was into a second-class cabin, on the starboard side, that I was promptly thrust in irons, and the door locked upon me as though I were another Raffles. The Amateur Cracksman "Humph!" said I. "That may account for the extra $5000—" "It may," said Raffles Holmes, pursing his lips into a deprecatory smile. R. Holmes & Co. “Raffles,” said he to the footman, “get me a horsewhip.” Roger Ingleton, Minor I wanted to wink at Raffles, but he would not catch my eye. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Acton walked round the corner, and Jack perambulated about, peering into the faces of the idlers to see if he could spot the well-known and much-detested face of Raffles. Acton's Feud A Public School Story But," said Raffles, "surely it's a clear case? The Amateur Cracksman "In what capacity shall you work, Raffles or Holmes?" R. Holmes & Co. Mr Armstrong, who chanced to look up at the moment when Raffles delivered the letter, concluded at once from the startled look on the lad’s face that it was a missive of no common importance. Roger Ingleton, Minor He was a ginger-headed Raffles by the end of January, and it was extraordinary what a difference it made. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Almost first fellow I ran against was Raffles, and I've given him his instructions. Acton's Feud A Public School Story Not such a bad chap, that professor," said Raffles on the stairs; "a real genius in his way, too, though his methods are a little elementary for my taste. The Amateur Cracksman If I did the Raffles act alone, I should become the billionaire in this land of silk and money, your rich are so careless of their wealth—but where would my conscience be? R. Holmes & Co. The captain was luxuriously smoking a cigar and solacing himself with a sporting paper, when Raffles sent his heart to his mouth by announcing— “Mr Ingleton, sir, to see you.” Roger Ingleton, Minor Yet my heart was heavy as I looked my last at her; it was heavy as the raw, thick air, until Raffles came and leant upon the rail at my side. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Raffles, as promised, turned up on the next occasion provided with a ferret and a gun, and all difficulties were smoothed over with the farmer. Acton's Feud A Public School Story "A hundred thousand pounds!" said Raffles, with his eyes shut. The Amateur Cracksman And with that Raffles Holmes left me to my own devices. R. Holmes & Co. The comer was our slight acquaintance Mr. Raffles, whose appearance presented no other change than such as was due to a suit of black and a crape hat-band. Middlemarch Not a word from Raffles, and none, you may be sure, from me. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman "Well, we're off for the holidays on Tuesday, and you can find Raffles then." Acton's Feud A Public School Story Was it my imagination, or did Raffles look slightly ashamed? The Amateur Cracksman I did not see Raffles Holmes again for five days, and then I met him only by chance, nor should I have known it was he had he not made himself known to me. R. Holmes & Co. "Well, it belongs to a stepson of mine," said Raffles, adjusting himself in a swaggering attitude. Middlemarch And now to the gallows-bird who was still corporal of our troop: it was not long before Raffles was to have his wish and the traitor's wicket. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman When they were outside, Jack said, "By the way, Raffles, this will be your last appearance down here too, eh?" Acton's Feud A Public School Story I resented her success with Raffles, of whom, in consequence, I saw less and less each day. The Amateur Cracksman I have here a not from my old friend Raffles Holmes—a note of introduction to you. R. Holmes & Co. "You didn't put your full address to this letter," Raffles continued. Middlemarch "My hand's held!" gasped Raffles, and the white of his eyes showed all round the iris, a rarer thing than you may think. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman "I suppose so," said Raffles, "unless you make it worth my while to come down entirely on your account." Acton's Feud A Public School Story The captain had a murderous scar across one of his cheeks, a present from Heidelberg, and I used to think how he must long to have Raffles there to serve the same. The Amateur Cracksman Why, certainly, Mr. Robinstein," said I. "Any friend of Raffles Holmes may command my services. R. Holmes & Co. But everything was spoiled for the owner as he walked on the gravel in front and awaited the descent of Mr. Raffles, with whom he was condemned to breakfast. Middlemarch I had raised my voice, so that Raffles might hear me and take heart, and now I raised it again. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman He put up his right hand to his face, which felt on fire, and stared blankly at Raffles. Acton's Feud A Public School Story Raffles strode past him with the air of a chief commissioner, and I followed before the man had recovered from his astonishment. The Amateur Cracksman "The missing pendants," said I. "Well—not exactly," said Raffles Holmes. R. Holmes & Co. As he walked out of the room, Raffles winked slowly at his back, and then turned towards the window to watch the banker riding away—virtually at his command. Middlemarch Even I could mount before they could reopen the gate, which Raffles held against them for half an instant with unnecessary gallantry. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Them winks," said Raffles, diplomatically, "was meant to show that I was moving—moving slow, but sure. Acton's Feud A Public School Story "I'm doing nothing of the sort," laughed Raffles. The Amateur Cracksman "No, indeed, they're the real thing," said Raffles Holmes, holding up one of the gems to the light, where it fairly coruscated with brilliance. R. Holmes & Co. Hereupon Raffles, who had lifted his hat with the last words, turned himself round with a swing of his leg and walked away. Middlemarch The troop is fighting as I write; you will soon hear why I am not; but neither is Raffles, nor Corporal Connal. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Well, Raffles has managed it nicely, and carried out my orders to the strokings of the t's. Acton's Feud A Public School Story Thereupon Raffles prayed to be allowed to smoke one, and, when his prayer was heard, observed that the pearl had been on the table much longer than the cigarettes. The Amateur Cracksman "And to-morrow—" Raffles Holmes got up and paced the floor nervously. R. Holmes & Co. Yet when he arrived at Stone Court he could not see the change in Raffles without a shock. Middlemarch Their fight lasted twenty minutes, and Raffles was marked, but the net result was dreadfully conventional, for the bully was a bully no more. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman When the sparring was over, Raffles shuffled out with Jack into the yard and whistled. Acton's Feud A Public School Story Raffles knew him too, but said nothing, and his eye drooped disapproval in my direction. The Amateur Cracksman The Raffles in me is rampant when I look at those jewels and think of what they will mean if I keep them. R. Holmes & Co. If Raffles were really getting worse, and slowly dying, Bulstrode felt that he could go to bed and sleep in gratitude to Providence. Middlemarch I at once spurred alongside Raffles, as he rode, bronzed and bearded, with warworn wide-awake over eyes grown keen as a hawk's, and a cutty-pipe sticking straight out from his front teeth. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Raffles of Rotherhithe did not appear to think that Acton's being a monitor was a clinching argument barring young Bourne's sport. Acton's Feud A Public School Story I have stated before, however, and I can but reiterate, that to me, at all events, there was never anybody in the world so irresistible as Raffles when his mind was made up. The Amateur Cracksman Raffles was subdued, and he returned to Gaffany's to put the finishing touches to his work. R. Holmes & Co. At a glance he knew that Raffles was not in the sleep which brings revival, but in the sleep which streams deeper and deeper into the gulf of death. Middlemarch There was nothing further to be said, but I felt more crushed than convinced; so we jogged along into broad daylight, until Raffles himself gave a whistle of surprise. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Secretly, Jack was rather glad that Raffles' r�le of entertainer was finished; for his stolen pleasures had lost a considerable part of their original sweetness, and their cost was heavy. Acton's Feud A Public School Story "What a chap you are!" said Raffles, playfully. The Amateur Cracksman "Oh—that one," said Raffles Holmes, with a laugh. R. Holmes & Co. As to the Hospital, he avoided saying anything further to Lydgate, fearing to manifest a too sudden change of plans immediately on the death of Raffles. Middlemarch "If I have got out of it," said Raffles, doubtfully. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Raffles went and wound up the throwing apparatus, and set the clay pigeon on the rest. Acton's Feud A Public School Story Then why was Raffles going to desert us all? The Amateur Cracksman "Give them to me," said I, sternly, noting a glitter in his eye that suggested the domination for the moment of the Raffles in him. R. Holmes & Co. "Yes, I've done," said Raffles, taking hold of his hat which stood before him on the table, and giving it a sort of oratorical push. Middlemarch And I saw that Beefy's ears were blue; but Raffles was feeling in his pockets as he spoke. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Yards away was Jack's cap, and Raffles brought it. Acton's Feud A Public School Story It did not begin pleasantly between Raffles and me. The Amateur Cracksman "You'll see what for," said I. And Raffles Holmes obeying, we walked down to the river's edge, where I stood for a moment, and then hurled the remaining stones far out into the waters. R. Holmes & Co. But the advantage now was on the side of Rigg, and auditors of this conversation might probably have expected that Raffles would retire with the air of a defeated dog. Middlemarch We lifted the plucky fellow into Raffles's place in the pantry, locked the door on him, and put the key through the panel. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Well," said Acton, "we've got about twenty minutes before there's any particular need to begin our watch for Raffles, but some of the members are hanging round now. Acton's Feud A Public School Story Something white was fluttering past once more, and Raffles, stepping forth, made the promenaders three. The Amateur Cracksman Raffles may need more than Holmes to keep him out of mischief. R. Holmes & Co. Here Mr. Raffles winked slowly as he looked at Mr. Bulstrode. Middlemarch Now was the moment for thinking of ourselves, and again that infernal mask which Raffles swore by came near the undoing of us both. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman It was with hearty thankfulness at the idea of being finally rid of Raffles that Jack walked over to the "Lodestone" by himself on the Thursday, jingling his last few shillings in his pockets. Acton's Feud A Public School Story Raffles raised his eyebrows as he perused the document; his mouth hardened, but suddenly relaxed; and it was with a smile and a shrug that he returned the paper. The Amateur Cracksman With this understanding I accompanied Raffles Holmes to Atlantic City the following afternoon, and the following evening we were registered at the Hotel Garrymore. R. Holmes & Co. "That must be as it suits my convenience," said Raffles coolly. Middlemarch "Let them," said Raffles, and brandished his electric torch, our only light as yet. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman "Ho! that's very likely," said Raffles, with a sneer; "anyhow, you could mighty soon get it if you wanted to." Acton's Feud A Public School Story "We want to lend a hand," said Raffles briskly. The Amateur Cracksman With every glimpse of that infernal jewel the Raffles in Holmes became harder and harder to control. R. Holmes & Co. This time Mr. Raffles' slow wink and slight protrusion of his tongue was worse than a nightmare, because it held the certitude that it was not a nightmare, but a waking misery. Middlemarch "But I think it's an occasion for Sullivans," said Raffles, who now kept them for such. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman "If you don't know it, and your bookmaker will only bet through Raffles, you are in a hole—a marvellously deep one." Acton's Feud A Public School Story Difficult thing to break your own head," said Raffles later; "infinitely easier to cut your own throat. The Amateur Cracksman "I can't stand the strain, Holmes," said I. "Well, if you can't stand your strain," said Raffles Holmes, "what do you think of mine?" R. Holmes & Co. But since Bulstrode did not speak, Raffles ran on, by way of using time to the utmost. Middlemarch I said to Raffles, with no nursery oath, as we strolled within the lines that night. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman So if we aren't in time to spot Raffles we are down on our luck with a vengeance. Acton's Feud A Public School Story Raffles stood at the door, frowning out upon the Solent, but for an instant he turned to me with a sniff. The Amateur Cracksman "Well, Raffles," said I, as we sped on our homeward way, "we've had our trouble for our pains." R. Holmes & Co. He was not going to tell Bulstrode: there was no actual good in telling, and to a mind like that of Mr. Raffles there is always probable good in a secret. Middlemarch "But, my dear old Raffles, if they're still on the premises—" The thought was too thrilling for a finished sentence. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Aided by Raffles of Rotherhithe, young Bourne went royally through half the rules of the school. Acton's Feud A Public School Story "We shall be at Genoa before sunset," continued Raffles. The Amateur Cracksman "Just changed a couple of trunk checks, that's all," said Raffles Holmes. R. Holmes & Co. He did carry them out faithfully, although Raffles was incessantly asking for brandy, and declaring that he was sinking away—that the earth was sinking away from under him. Middlemarch Raffles smiled indulgently as he cracked another nut. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman The monitor tinkled his bell, and in answer to the ringing, Raffles lounged out of a barn, the inseparable Warmint trotting at his master's heels. Acton's Feud A Public School Story "By what right?" roared Raffles, in a ringing voice, and I never saw his face in such a blaze. The Amateur Cracksman "On the way to Chicago," said Raffles Holmes, calmly. R. Holmes & Co. Perhaps he might deliver a different opinion, and think that Raffles was getting into a less hopeful state. Middlemarch I may as well," said Raffles, "though I did mean to get my kit first, so as to start in fair and square as the long-lost brother from the bush. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Raffles was waiting for him in the stables, and he was very friendly and familiar, which always annoyed Jack immensely. Acton's Feud A Public School Story "I wouldna' dare," said Mackenzie, as he fumbled in his breast pocket, and Raffles dived his hand into his own. The Amateur Cracksman "Jenkins, you are exceedingly uncomplimentary at times," said Raffles Holmes, showing more resentment than I had ever given him credit for. R. Holmes & Co. He paused in the passage, with his face turned towards Raffles's room, and he could hear him moaning and murmuring. Middlemarch I had brazened it out with the boys, but the first grown man wa too many for me, and the blood ran out of my heart as though there was no Raffles at my back. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman "And the gun," said Raffles, calmly, looking into vacancy, and not seeing Jack's coins—"leastwise, wot was a gun." Acton's Feud A Public School Story But as we waited for the train I saw those clear eyes peering at me under the station lamps, and when I met their glance Raffles shook his head. The Amateur Cracksman "Why not yours?" said I. "Raffles!" said he, laconically, and I understood. R. Holmes & Co. And who could say that the death of Raffles had been hastened? Middlemarch "Can you turn in your own length?" asked Raffles, following loyally. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman My opinion is, Raffles, that that gun was rotten. Acton's Feud A Public School Story It was Raffles himself who prevented me, but not Raffles alone. The Amateur Cracksman Hence I signed the note, mailed it to Raffles Holmes, enclosing my check for $1000 with it. R. Holmes & Co. Five days after the death of Raffles, Mr. Bambridge was standing at his leisure under the large archway leading into the yard of the Green Dragon. Middlemarch And at the worst it was the death to die: no bed, no doctor, no temperature—and Raffles stopped himself. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman "There's no foolery about it," said Raffles, sulkily. Acton's Feud A Public School Story "Looks pretty fresh for an Old Master, doesn't she?" said Raffles. The Amateur Cracksman "It was fourteen thousand counting in your $1000," said Raffles Holmes. R. Holmes & Co. He told her everything, very inartificially, in slow fragments, making her aware that the scandal went much beyond proof, especially as to the end of Raffles. Middlemarch But Raffles never wavered for an instant, though his face was tragic, and it went to my heart, where that look stays still. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman "I never said we was," murmured Raffles, as he shuffled away. Acton's Feud A Public School Story I had feared Raffles was neglecting things, and I told him so in a burst. The Amateur Cracksman "Oh, I say, Raffles," I hallooed, rapping on the door again, this time with the head of my cane. R. Holmes & Co. If I remember rightly," Mr. Bulstrode observed, with chill anger, "our acquaintance many years ago had not the sort of intimacy which you are now assuming, Mr. Raffles. Middlemarch There was abundance of circumstantial evidence against him, besides the direct testimony of Raffles and myself, and the wretch was shot at last with little ceremony and less shrift. Raffles, Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman Phil Bourne came into my room the same evening that saw Jack Bourne released from the toils of Raffles. Acton's Feud A Public School Story It was after dinner on the promenade deck, and as Raffles spoke he glanced sharply fore and aft, leaving me next moment with a step full of purpose. The Amateur Cracksman I whirled about like a flash, and was deeply startled to see Raffles himself standing by the divan I had just vacated, divesting himself of his gloves and light overcoat. R. Holmes & Co. |
