He pulled the peak of his cap down over his eyes in a sort of shame-faced way, as though to avoid recognition, and, stepping nearer, returned the purse."'Scuse me, miss," he said uneasily. "I didn't know it was youse¿honest to Gawd, I didn't! 'Scuse me, miss. Good-night!"

The further adventures of Jimmie Dale is an Interesting tale of a young man who broke into safes at night to rob people and return their money to them. He learned about this from a woman, who then sent him letters with directions on how to proceed. After some time, the same situation started to repeat itself.

The story of the book starts with a character, Foo Sen kindly assigned him a bunk, and he reclined on it. Opium's sweet, sickening aroma filled the air, which was also dense with low, odd noises. And these sounds, when taken as a whole and coming from unknown sources, were like the ominous and sinister proof of some foul and grotesque presence; when they were broken down, they became the swish of hangings, the swish of slippered, shuffling feet, the stertorous breathing of a sleeper, the clink of coins as though men were playing, the tinkle of glass, the murmur of voices, the restless stir of!
