Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gray Phantom's Return
Being an ambitious and hard-working officer, Pinto made it a practice to cultivate the acquaintance of as many as possible of the people living along his beat. He knew Sylvanus Gage, a thin, stoop-shouldered man with a flowing beard, a black cap adorning his bald skull, and mild blue eyes that had a habit of gazing lugubriously at the world through thick lenses rimmed with tarnished gold. Despite his patri archal appearance, he was reputed to be using his tobacco business as a cloak for a flourishing traffic in stolen goods. So deftly did the old man manage his illicit enterprises that the police, though morally certain of their facts, had never been able to pro 'duce any evidence against him. Little was known of his housekeeper, a sour and sharp-tongued slattern' of uncertain age, but there were those who suspected that she was not entirely innocent of complicity in her employer's clandestine activities.
