The Burglar The Burglar and the Blizzard A CHRISTMAS STORY BY ALICE DUER MILLER AUTHOR OF “THE BLUE ARCH,” ETC. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY CHARLOTTE HARDING Hearst’s International Library Co., Inc. 1914 Contents ILLUSTRATIONS The Burglar and the Blizzard I Geoffrey Holland stood up and for the second time surveyed the restaurant in search of other members of his party, two fingers in the pocket of his waistcoat, as if they had just relinquished his watch. He was tall enough to be conspicuous and well bred enough to be indifferent to the fact, good looking, in a bronzed, blond clean-shaven way, and branded in the popular imagination as a young and active millionaire. At a neighbouring table a man lent forward and whispered to the other men and women with him: “Do you know who that is?—that is young Holland.”
