And now," he concluded impressively his conscience needed a little soothing, and his purse was plethoric with the thousand dollars wrung from those who had the misfortune to be in his power "I will pay her board at some quiet farmhouse for three weeks, and then she'll come back fresh and strong to her old place." Belle's eyes filled with tears of gladness.
Wordley?" she asked. Mr. Wordley laughed so suddenly and loudly that he quite startled the hall porter in his little glass box. "My dear child," he said, slowly and impressively, "you are rich, not poor; im-mense-ly rich!

Therefore, Dr. Stuart" he paused impressively "if you fail to detect anything suspicious at the post mortem examination I propose to apply to the Home Secretary for power to exhume the body of the late Sir Frank Narcombe!" Deep in reflection, Stuart walked alone along the Embankment.
"Not so, sister dear," said Tom impressively; "I intend that you shall hear me out.
