Kittredge

Kittredge thrilled under the spell of her beauty; he longed to take her in his arms and comfort her.

Meantime Kittredge had climbed the four flights of stairs leading to the sacristan's modest apartment.

"Come," said the men gruffly, and Kittredge felt a sickening sense of shame as he realized that he was a prisoner.

"Take him," ordered the detective, and the two policemen laid hold of Kittredge on either side.
