CHAPTER XXXVII. 

MARTIN IS TRAPPED. 

Mickety at once went off to do as Ralph had requested. He was rather doubtful about a policeman listening to his tale, but he resolved to do his best. 

In the meantime Ralph inspected the house, and wondered what sort of place it was, and what had brought Martin there. His inspection ended in disappointment, for nothing came to light. 

Presently, however, a young girl came out of the basement of the house with a pitcher in her hand. She was evidently a servant girl. A milkman drove up, and from him she purchased a quart of milk. 

Before she could return to the house, Ralph touched her on the arm. 

"Excuse me, but I believe you live in that house," he said, pleasantly. 

"I works there, sur," said the girl, in a strong Irish accent. 

"Will you kindly tell me who lives there?" 

"Mr. Martin Thomas, sur." 

Ralph stared at this bit of information. Martin Thomas and the man he was after were most likely the same individual. 

"Did he just come in?" 

"Yis, sur." 

"He lives there alone, does he?" 

"Oh, no, sur. There's another family occupying the house, but they are away for the summer, sur." 

"Oh. I see. Thank you." 

"Did you wish to see Mr. Thomas, sur?" 

"Is he busy?" 

"He said he was going away, sur. He's at work packing up some things, I believe." 

"Then I won't bother him. It isn't likely that he would want to buy a new History of the United States, is it?" 

What are the answers to this following set of questions:

1. Who asked Mickety to do something?
2. What did he do?
3. Who had gone there?
4. Who appeared then?
5. Where did she come out of?

11. What did he ask her?
12. Did she have a French accent?
13. Who lives in the house?
14. Is that who he is after?

KAPITEL XXXVII. MARTIN ÄR UPPFYLLLD. Mickety gick genast iväg för att göra som Ralph hade begärt. Han var ganska tveksam till att en polis skulle lyssna på hans berättelse, men han bestämde sig för att göra sitt bästa. Under tiden inspekterade Ralph huset, och undrade vad det var för plats, och vad som hade fört Martin dit. Hans inspektion slutade i besvikelse, ty ingenting kom i dagen. För närvarande kom emellertid en ung flicka ut ur husets källare med en kanna i handen. Hon var tydligen en tjänsteflicka. En mjölkkarl körde upp, och av honom köpte hon en liter mjölk. Innan hon hann återvända till huset rörde Ralph henne på armen. »Ursäkta, men jag tror, att ni bor i det huset», sade han, angenämt. "Jag arbetar där, sur", sade flickan, i en stark irländsk accent. »Vill ni vara vänlig och tala om för mig vem som bor där?» "Mr Martin Thomas, sur." Ralph stirrade på den här informationen. Martin Thomas och mannen han var ute efter var troligen samma person. »Kom han nyss in?» "Yis, sur." "Han bor där ensam, eller hur?" »Åh nej, sur. Det finns en annan familj som ockuperar huset, men de är borta över sommaren, sur." "Åh. Jag förstår. Tack." »Ville ni träffa mr Thomas, sur?» »Är han upptagen?» "Han sa att han skulle bort, sur. Han är på jobbet och packar ihop en del saker, tror jag." "Då ska jag inte störa honom. Det är inte troligt att han skulle vilja köpa en ny historia om USA, eller hur?" Vilka är svaren på följande frågor: 1. Vem bad Mickety att göra något? 2. Vad gjorde han? 3. Vem hade gått dit? 4. Vem visade sig då? 5. Var kom hon ifrån? 6. Hålla vad? 7. Vem körde upp då? 8. Och vad gjorde hon? 9. Hur mycket? 10. Vem kom fram till henne efter det? 11. Vad frågade han henne? 12. Hade hon en fransk accent? 13. Vem bor i huset? 14. Är det den han är ute efter? 15. Bor Martin ensam? 16. Vem mer bor där?
CHAPTER XXXVII. MARTIN IS FOLD. Mickety immediately went off to do as Ralph had requested. He was rather hesitant that a police officer would listen to his story, but he decided to do his best. Meanwhile, Ralph inspected the house, wondering what place it was, and what had brought Martin there. His inspection ended in disappointment, for nothing came to light. At present, however, a young girl came out of the basement of the house with a pitcher in her hand. Apparently, she was a maid. A milkman drove up, and from him she bought a gallon of milk. Before she could return to the house, Ralph touched her arm. "Excuse me, but I think you live in that house," he said, pleasantly. "I work there, sour," said the girl, in a strong Irish accent. "Please tell me who lives there?" "Mr. Martin Thomas, sour." Ralph was staring at this information. Martin Thomas and the man he was after were probably the same person. "Did he just get in?" "Yis, sour." "He lives there alone, doesn't he?" "Oh no, sour. There's another family occupying the house, but they're gone for the summer, sour." "Oh. I see. Thank you." "Did you want to see Mr. Thomas, sour?" "Is he busy?" "He said he was going away, pissed off. He's at work packing up some stuff, I think." "Then I won't bother him. It's not likely he'd want to buy a new story about the United States, is it?" What are the answers to the following questions: 1. Who asked Mickety to do something? 2. What did he do? 3. Who had gone there? 4. Who then appeared? 5. Where did she come from? 6. Hold what? 7. Who drove up then? 8. And what did she do? 9. How much? 10. Who came up to her after that? 11. What did he ask her? 12. Did she have a French accent? 13. Who lives in the house? 14. Is that what he's after? 15. Does Martin live alone? 16. Who else lives there?
