„Non ho mai seguito valori illusori, come il successo, ma ho cercato e trovato dei punti di forza che mi hanno consentito una concezione più ampia del mondo, una sempre rinnovata capacità di gratitudine nei confronti dei miei simili e una sincera umiltà che mi assiste oggi, mentre dalla mia piccola posizione di vantaggio lungo il cammino che va verso l'alto e non finisce mai, guardo la pazienza ammirevole e il coraggio di quelli che dietro di me lottano ancora.“

„dead!” She burst into a fresh storm of sobs. Jimmy left it to the local C. I. D. to watch the house. “Though I do not expect we shall catch the birds,” he said, “for either the boy or the woman will communicate with them — that is certain.” He snatched a few hours’ sleep and was again at his desk by noon, interviewing such of the privileged reporters as had the entree to his office. Whether Dora had come to town or not he did not know, for his inquiries took him away from the house in Portland Place. He neither saw nor heard from Knowles; the little man seemed to have disappeared as completely and as mysteriously as any of those who had gone before him. His landlady reported that he had not returned to the house“ The Complete Works of Edgar Wallace
