The Jewel of Nineveh Quotes

“He checked for any observers, and finding himself alone he kneeled before the door, putting his eye to the lock to judge its class. The tool-roll came out again and from it this time, a bent piece of wire. The wire mated with the lock and was adroitly gyrated. A click was heard as the work was consummated and the spent wire withdrawn.”
