My excuse is that the barge seemed to offer the only probable hiding-place, and there was always the chance that he had gone into the river with the car." "Anyhow, you got him," observed Evans sympathetically, for McCulloch was a valued and trustworthy officer. "Well, he's here, but Mr. Brodie got him," whereupon Brodie tried not to look sheepish.
"Let me go!" she cried, trying to jerk away from him. "Easy does it," said Jarrold. "Easy kid! I'm of a notion I've seen that face of yours somewheres." "Never mind the kid," Brodie was growling savagely. "It's Gratton first. Out with him, Benny." The others bore down upon Gratton.
Robertson, Rizzoli, Tait, Hamilton, Brodie, Denis, Dickie, Goyrand, and many others mention extroversion of viscera from parietal defects. The different forms of hernia will be considered in another chapter. There seem to be no authentic cases of complete absence of the kidney except in the lowest grades of monstrosities.
"The best part of every man's education," said Sir Walter Scott, "is that which he gives to himself." The late Sir Benjamin Brodie delighted to remember this saying, and he used to congratulate himself on the fact that professionally he was self-taught.

Under the head of 'Pliable' in my Bunyan note- book I find a crowd of references to Brodie; and if only to illustrate our author's marginal note, I shall transcribe one or two of them.
As time goes on we find the laird of Brodie a member of Parliament, a member of General Assembly, and a Lord of Session.
He so possessed her with his graphic tale that he was allowed to go chuckling back to his potations, while she ran hot-foot to the Green Shutters. "Eh, poo-oor Mrs. Gourlay; and oh, your poo-oor boy, too; and eh, that brute Tam Brodie " Even as she came through the door the voluble clatter was shrilling out the big tidings, before she was aware of Gourlay's presence.
