Even if the murderer denied removing the body nobody would believe him. I thought the advice good, and I followed it. I don't know whether I could have kept it up if I had been cross-questioned, but from first to last nobody seemed to have the least suspicion of me.
"Deuced awkward thing, don't you know," was his only comment. Things were even more awkward when the coach drew up to start, and no sign of the old man could be found. He had strolled off to the back of the hotel, and vanished as absolutely as if the earth had swallowed him. The Chinese cook was severely cross-questioned, but relapsed into idiotic smiles and plentiful "No savee"s.
Bring some cold meat here for the good man or stay! Come in with me, and then you can tell Mrs. Pennington and the young ladies all you know about Harry, and the siege, and the explosion. So Philip was ushered into the warden's house and made to eat roast beef almost against his will; and he was questioned and cross-questioned by three eager ladies, all at the same time, as it seemed to him.
And my pa got Old Bender in and cross-questioned him a whole day, with Mitch and me hid on top of a closet in the room.

The roadside diners were covered thoroughly.

They got here in Easter week, and I saw them with Sir Edmund, and we both cross-questioned them closely. Akers's evidence is beyond suspicion, and is perfectly supported by that of Stock.
With outward zeal he set to work; interviewed Lydia and the Italian, to make certain that their defence was genuine; examined the Pegall family, who were dreadfully alarmed by their respectability being intruded upon by a common detective, and obtained a fresh denial from Baxter & Co.'s saleswoman that Ferruci was the purchaser of the cloak. Also he cross-questioned Mrs.
He did not know ten thousand matters that were rushing violently about in the vast heart of Constance. She cross-questioned him in detail. But she did not put the questions which he in his innocence expected; such as, if her sister looked old, if her hair was grey, if she was stout or thin.
