There was nothing that the old woman loved better than a gossip with Tertius, who was the comptroller of the Augusta's household, or with Piso, who was the overseer of her slaves: and even her fond desire to watch beside her mistress yielded to the delight of holding long and interesting parley with these worthies.
There was another captain, also of Native Infantry, with a fair mustache; his face was like white glass, and his hands were fragile, but he answered joyfully to the cry of Tertius.
"'Dear Dick, or Tertius: The bearer of this is in charge of seventy-five recruits, all pukka devils, but desirous of leading new lives. They have been slightly polished, and after being boiled may shape well. I want you to give thirty of them to my adjutant, who, though God's own ass, will need men this spring. The rest you can keep.
He was followed by secundus and tertius. Keith had recovered a little by that time, and he knew they were making mistakes that ordinarily would have called forth a storm of reproof from the Rector. Now he paid no attention, but merely repeated: "Go on go on!" At last the lesson came to an end, and then they were dismissed for the day.
"You apprehend me exactly." "Yet you have just heard what Mr. Tertius says! What do you say to that, Mr. Burchill?" "I say nothing to that, Mr. Halfpenny. I have nothing to do with what Mr. Tertius says. I have answered your questions." "Mr. Tertius says that he and you saw Jacob Herapath sign that document, saw each other sign it!

"I shall say on! But I warned you what I've got to say will give a good deal of pain to my cousin there.
"What's that?" asked Mr. Tertius. "Do you remember that, at the inquest, Mountain, the coachman, said that there was another bit of evidence he had to give which he'd forgotten to tell Mr. Barthorpe when he questioned him? Mountain" continued Mr.

"But if he was shot by some other person murdered, that is the murderer must have been standing either close at his side, or immediately behind him. Of this I am certain he was sitting in that chair, at his desk, when the shot was fired." "And what would the immediate effect be?" asked Mr. Tertius.
