Our Beadle Shadbolt invariably manages to revive them sufficiently to endure er the rest." I'll be shot if he will this time, thought the Collector grimly, with a glance down at a smear across the knuckle of his right-hand glove. The sight of it cheered him and steadied his temper. "Possibly," said he aloud.
"You will be glad to hear, since you take an interest in the girl, that Providence overruled her aim and Shadbolt escaped with a mere graze of the jaw so slight, indeed, that, taking a merciful view, we decided not to consider it an actual wound, and convicted her only of the attempt.
