"Why, she did say her desk smelled somehow of pepper!" exclaimed Loveday. "We were all so excited, though, about the essay being missing that we didn't take much notice of it. The whole affair's been a sort of 'Comedy of Errors'." One substantial result remained from Diana's confinement to the attic, and that was the discovery of the door into the room beyond.
Levendale's unexplained disappearance the strange death of this man Parslett the mystery of those platinum studs dropped in the pawnbroker's parlour and in Mrs. Goldmark's eating house no! the whole affair's a highly complicated one. That's my view of it." "And mine," said Ayscough. He looked at the unbelieving official, and turned away from him to glance out of the window into the street.
"Charles," I repeated, but in a different tone and with a different purpose, "how do they account for the cordial that was drunk the two emptied glasses and the flask which were found in the adjacent closet?" "It's one of the affair's conceded incongruities. Miss Cumberland is a well-known temperance woman.
Lindsey drew me aside and pointed at the elderly man whom I remembered seeing in the police court. "You see yon gentleman?" he whispered. "That's a Mr. Elphinstone, that was formerly steward to old Sir Alexander Carstairs. He's retired a good many years, now, and lives the other side of Alnwick, in a place of his own.

Dogs, bulls, dragons anything so long as it's a fight. Why, they've got a poor innocent badger in the stable behind here, at this moment. They were going to have some fun with him to-day, but they're saving him up now till YOUR little affair's over.
Claude had put on his hat again. Fagerolles was shuffling about impatiently, looking nervously at the house over the way. 'I don't send you off, but you see she's waiting for me, he said, 'Well, it's understood, your affair's settled that is, unless I'm not elected.
