George Allan England, The Unwritten Story — The Unwritten Story… (1926)

“ Locomotive bell and coughing exhaust were music to Wyatt as the heavy train tooled into motion. At a car window he caught one glimpse of a panic-smitten face—a face with the unseeing eyes of fear, with a red mustache that blazed against a leaden pallor. Then Maximilian Veazie was flicked forever from his life.
“Well, there goes my one big scoop!” said Wyatt, a bit grimly. “There'll never be another one like that for me!”
But then he laughed—laughed in the knowledge that any loss for the sake of love is golden gain. ”

“ If Thoreau is right in saying that the whole life of a man may be referred to a few deep experiences, this moment in Wyatt's life was crucial.
“Now for Veazie!”
Wyatt's thought centered on this last remaining peril. Were Veazie to be rounded up and made to talk—but Wyatt refused to dwell on what the newspapers would do then.
“God! If only Veazie's home—if only I can catch him!”
Forgotten now were all Wyatt's professional instincts. His story of all stories, the “scoop” that would have set his name on pinnacles of newspaper achievement—down it had crashed to ruin. ”

“ The professor, in bath robe and slippers, became dimly visible down the hallway. “Who's breaking into my—”
“Veazie, you old crook!” Wyatt flung, his anger rising like the tides of Fundy. “You've got about ten minutes to get out, before Boston gets too damned hot for you! Understand?”
“Wha—what?” the professor stammered, paling.
“Lockwood's been murdered—stabbed to death in his library. You'd better buy a ticket a mile long, and keep going!” ”

“ You're only an innocent bystander! By gad, but you're about the most innocent-looking man I ever laid an eye on!”
And this was the last word between them till Wyatt dropped the cringing wretch at the Newton railroad station, just as a west-bound Boston and Albany train came slowing in.
“Ticket a mile long, remember!” then repeated Wyatt. “Keep going, and never come back! The electric chair's used in this State—and it kills you so damned dead that not even a fake spiritualist's ghost would ever get any spirit of returnity at all! That 'll do for you!”
Veazie made no answer. ”

“ The one that perished—somber and fraught with tragedy and pain—left the world better for its passing. The other, consonant with springtide and this old earth's warming to life eternally renewed—was radiant with youth and hope and joy. ”

“ The subjective was racing on:
“Oh, Lord, if she doesn't only get hold of a newspaper before I get to Worcester!”
Now his objectivity was speaking into the receiver:
“I'll be right along, then!”
“Splendid! I'll be all ready.”
“Where'll I find you?”
“No. 19, Malabar Road; and I'll be awfully glad to see you!”
“Don't wander out. Stay right there. Right? Fine! Good-by, dear—good-by!”
He smeared his wet forehead with a hand that shook, as he hung up and turned back into the library.
“Listen—I'm going to bring her in. I'll tell her—all she ever must know. ”

“ If you say he's not coming back”—Wyatt most ungallantly shook a fist in her chalky face—“you're liable to get mixed up in a case that 'll land you in jail! Get me?”
“Oh, saints preserve us, sir! I won't—”
“State's prison, mind! That's enough for you!”
Two minutes, and they were out of the apartment house, into Wyatt's roadster. As Wyatt jumped the car ahead, they heard a newsboy calling an early special:
“Moider! Moider on Beacon Hill! All about de millionaire moider!”
“There you are, professor!” Wyatt gibed. “You're in luck to-day—if only you keep going!” ”

“ Professor Maximilian Veazie
To his immense relief, the door latch presently clicked. Up he rushed, three stairs at a time, knocked at the professor's door, and was faced by a startled Irish maid.
“But he ain't up yet!” the maid asserted. “An' he only sees people by appointment, an'—”
Wyatt brushed her aside, strode in, and banged the door. ”
