Even a journeyman strangler may know the thrill of professional pride in a good job well done: Dupont was yrinning at his work, and so intent upon it that his first intimation of any interference came when Lanyard took him from behind, broke his hold upon the woman (and lamentably failed to break his back to the same time), whirled him round with a jerk that all but unsocked an arm. Before the thug could regain his balance, Lanyard placed surely on the heel of Dupont‘s jaw, just below She gasped, started convulsively, und began to breathe with less effort. That dreadful rattling in her throat was stilled. Since his fall Dupont had made neither moan nor stir. No crescent irides showed beneath the halfâ€"shut lids.
