Pepperill, old man Tutt asked not one of them a single question about the murder. Instead he merely inquired in a casual way where they came from, how they got there, what they did for a living, and whether they had ever made any contradictory statement as to what had occurred, and as his cross-examination of Mr.
The bitter experience was yet to come, that has taught me how very distinct are the principles of virtue, from the casual feelings from which they germinate." "I HAVE perhaps dwelt too long on a circumstance, which is only of importance as it marks the progress of a deception that has been so fatal to my peace; and introduces to your notice a poor girl, whom, intending to serve, I led to ruin.
This kid last night handed me laughs that were better than a month's vacation for this old carcass of mine. You say he was just an extra?" "That's what I heard last night. Anyway, he's all you say he is as an artist. Where do you suppose he got it? Do you suppose he's just the casual genius that comes along from time to time?
And I beg you to believe" he spoke with deep feeling "that I should not have intruded on this interview, if I had not considered my presence necessary." He opened the door, but closed it again, holding the handle, and said, in a casual fashion, "By the way, I am sorry to say that Lord Heyton tut, tut! the gentleman who was Lord Heyton has been called away on important business.

By the end of April nearly all the old hands were back at work, and several casual hands had also been taken on, the Semi-drunk being one of the number. In addition to these, Misery had taken on a number of what he called 'lightweights', men who were not really skilled workmen, but had picked up sufficient knowledge of the simpler parts of the trade to be able to get over it passably.

And he, Ralph Marvell, a sane man, young, able-bodied, in full possession of his wits, had assisted at the perpetration of this abominable wrong, had passively forfeited his right to the flesh of his body, the blood of his being!
I was still too shaken with the varying emotions I had experienced the day before to bear well any reference to them, no matter how casual. Fortunately, Dicky was too much taken up with his own remissness to notice my silence. "I'll go out this minute and attend to them," he said. "Try to keep the mater's mind diverted from them if you can.
"Thirty dollars -maybe thirty-two," said Driggs, after another casual look at the canoe. "Let's announce the bonfire for to-night," urged Greg. "We haven't any such sum of money, Mr. Driggs," Dick went on. "Too bad, boys, for you'd probably have a lot of fun in this craft. If you want to sell it, maybe I could allow you four dollars for the craft as she stands."
