What were you telling me about that? Oh, yes; the Widow Norbury." "That's right. Cayley used to be rather keen on the daughter. The letter's for her." "Yes; well, let's take it.

"Proceed, sir," was the stern reply of the judge, who knew that the physical powers of the prisoner could not hold out much longer. "A regular Norbury," gasped O'Donovan. "It's like a '98 trial." "You had better proceed, sir, with propriety," exclaimed the judge. "When do you propose stopping, my lord?" again inquired the prisoner. "Proceed, sir," was the reiterated reply.
