"Can't help it," interrupted Garrick, "we've got to go over

die were cast and Garrick had carried his point, "but how are you
going to do it? Won't you need some men with axes and crowbars?"
"No, indeed, almost shouted Garrick as Dillon made a motion as if
to find out who were available. "I've been preparing a little
surprise in my office this afternoon for just such a case. It's a
rather cumbersome arrangement and I've brought it along stowed
away in a taxicab outside. I don't want anyone else to know about
the raid until the last moment.
