My brother is attempting to set aside the disposition he had made in his favour; but they say that it will be made to stand; and that my son will get it all yet. But he has not troubled us at Padley; nor will he, I think." "He is at Norbury, you say, sir?" "Yes; but he goes here and there continually.
"As to the experiments," said Jervis, "Norbury could hardly have refused if you had taken him into your confidence." "Indeed he could, and probably would. My 'confidence' would have involved a charge of murder against a highly respectable gentleman who was well known to him. He would probably have referred me to the police, and then what could I have done?
He would have liked now to have gone away, so that he might have thought over the new situation by himself; or, perhaps preferably, to have changed partners for a little while with Bill. Miss Norbury would hardly be ready to confide in a stranger with the readiness of a mother, but he might have learnt something by listening to her. For which of them had she the greater feeling, Cayley or Mark?
Don't, pray don't stay any longer in this dreadful place! I wouldn't stay another night here myself no, not for anything that could be offered me! Mrs. Norbury at once set her servant's mind at ease on this last point. 'I don't think about it as you do, she said gravely. 'But I should like to speak to my brother of what has happened. We will go back to Milan.
These would, by themselves, furnish ample means of identification. But in addition, there is the tattooed device of the Eye of Osiris " "Horus," murmured Dr. Norbury. "Horus, then in the exact locality in which it was borne by the deceased and tattooed, apparently, with the same pigment.
I knew Herr Lederbogen quite well. He stayed with us for a time when he was in England." "I trust," said Dr. Norbury, "that I have not troubled you for nothing. Herr Lederbogen speaks of 'our erratic English friend with the long name that I can never remember, and it seemed to me that he might be referring to your uncle." "I should hardly have called my uncle erratic," said Ruth. "No, no.
We stopped at the Greyhound, at Croydon, where the two good little mares were sponged and petted and fed, after which, at an easier pace, we made our way through Norbury and Streatham. At last the fields grew fewer and the walls longer.
Therefore the provisions of clause two have been duly carried out and therefore Godfrey Bellingham is the principal beneficiary under the will, and the co-executor, in accordance with the wishes of the testator. Is that quite clear?" "Perfectly," said Dr. Norbury; "and a most astonishing coincidence but, my dear young lady, had you not better sit down? You are looking very ill."
We are about a hundred years behind the times down here." "And had better stay there if we want peace," I added. "Are you a Liberal?" "Goodness knows." "I like a man who knows what he is." "You mean you like The Bradder; why not say so?" "Because I meant nothing of the kind. We are going to walk over to Chipping Norbury, if you will come with us." "I can't. I have promised to call on Mrs.
In the second volume, also, I think there is a scene between Lord and Lady Norbury in their dressing-room, about getting rid of their guests and making room for others, which is nicely touched: the Lord and Lady are politely unfeeling; it is all kept within bounds.
