And, briefly, it is to be known that, as it has been said above in the sixth chapter of the third treatise, the Church makes use of the hours temporal in the division of the day, which hours are twelve in each day, long or short according to the amount of sunlight; and because the sixth hour, that is, the midday, is the most noble of the whole day, and has in it the most virtue, the Offices of the Church are approximated thereto in each side, that is, from the prime, and thence onwards as much as possible; and therefore the Office of prime, that is, the tertius, is said at the end of that part, and that of the third part and of the fourth is said at the beginning; and therefore, before the clock strikes in a division of the day, it is termed half-third or mid-tertius; or mid-nones, when in that division the clock has struck, and thus mid-vespers.
"'Signed by the testator in the presence of us both present at the same time who in his presence and in the presence of each other have hereunto set our names as witnesses. "'JOHN CHRISTOPHER TERTIUS, of 500, Portman Square, London: Gentleman. "'FRANK BURCHILL, of 331, Upper Seymour Street, London: Secretary."
Tertius, picking up a square of highly polished glass. "There! I place this slide here and upon it I deposit this sandwich. Now, my dear Cox-Raythwaite, favour me by examining the sandwich even more closely than you did the glass if necessary." But the Professor shook his head. He clapped Mr. Tertius on the shoulder. "Excellent!" he exclaimed. "Good! Pooh! no need for care there.
Have you thought of the police the detectives?" "I have certainly thought of both," replied Mr. Tertius. "But I think not yet, in either case. I think one had better await the result of the inquest. Something may come out, you know." "Coroners and juries," observed the Professor oracularly, "are good at finding the obvious. Whether they get at the mysteries and the secrets "
Tertius, who had been gazing at the table while Barthorpe went through these points, suddenly lifted his head and looked at Mr. Halfpenny. His usual nervousness seemed to have left him, and there was something very like a smile of contempt about his lips when he spoke.
Tertius," said Peggie, "do you know anything about Uncle Jacob? He came in during the night one o'clock and now he's disappeared. Did he say anything to you about going away early this morning?" Mr. Tertius shook his head. "No no nothing!" he answered. "Disappeared! Is it certain he came in?" "Mountain saw him come in," she said.
An electric bell was set in the door; a moment or two elapsed before any response was made to the parlourmaid's ring. Then the door automatically opened, the parlourmaid smiled at Mr. Tertius and retired; Mr. Tertius walked in; the door closed softly behind him.
"That's all there is to it." "No, he didn't," said Dick Four. "Don't you remember how he insisted that he had only applied his luck? Don't you remember how Rutton Singh grabbed his boots and grovelled in the snow, and how our men shouted?" "None of our Pathans believed that was luck," said Tertius.
But the year before Cato's censorship was 185 not 183, hence some edd. read quintus and some sextus in place of tertius. NOVEM ANNIS: as Cato's consulship was in 195 these words also apparently disagree with tertius above. Novem annis post means nine full years after, i.e. 185 not 186; cf. 42 septem annis post.
"There is so much, Halfpenny," he answered, "that I don't quite know what you specifically mean by this. Do you mean " "I mean, first of all, Herapath's murder," said Mr. Halfpenny. "You think it is a case of murder?" "I'm sure it's a case of murder cold, calculated murder," replied Mr. Tertius, with energy. "Vile murder, Halfpenny."
