He had attained that period in life when the\u003cbr\u003espirits flag and enthusiasm needs a constant spur, and of late there had\u003cbr\u003ebeen a lack of special excitement, and he felt dull and superannuated.\u003cbr\u003eHe was even contemplating resigning his position on the force and\u003cbr\u003eretiring to the little farm he had bought for himself in Westchester;\u003cbr\u003eand this in itself did not tend to cheerfulness, for he was one to whom\u003cbr\u003eaction was a necessity and the exercise of his mental faculties more\u003cbr\u003einspiring than any possible advantage which might accrue to him from\u003cbr\u003etheir use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut he was not destined to carry out this impulse yet. For just at the\u003cbr\u003eheight of his secret dissatisfaction there came a telephone message to\u003cbr\u003eHeadquarters which roused the old man to something like his former vigor\u003cbr\u003eand gave to the close of this gray fall day an interest he had not\u003cbr\u003eexpected to feel again in this or any other kind of day. It was sent\u003cbr\u003efrom Carter's well-known drug store, and was to the effect that a lady\u003cbr\u003ehad just sent a boy in from the street to say that a strange crime had\u003cbr\u003ebeen committed in ----'s mansion round the corner. The boy did not know\u003cbr\u003ethe lady, and was shy about showing the money she had given him, but\u003cbr\u003ethat he had money was very evident, also, that he was frightened enough\u003cbr\u003efor his story to be true. If the police wished to communicate with him,\u003cbr\u003ehe could be found at Carter's, where he would be detained till an order\u003cbr\u003efor his release should be received.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145630695664,"sku":"2940013375055","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013375055_p0.jpg?v=1763580363","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013375055","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
