"I Pharaoh, King of Kings!
"There is one member of the tribe beside Watusk who can speak English," he went on. "In the interest of justice I ask you to find her." "Who is it?" "Her name is Nesis. She is the youngest of the four wives of Watusk." Ambrose told her story briefly and baldly. "So!" said the inspector with a peculiar smile.

It gave a baldly literal translation of the Hebrew text, sacrificing form and even lucidity to a faithful transcript. In truth the work was utterly innocent of literary grace.
To say that the thing struck McEachern as sinister is to put the matter baldly. There was once a gentleman who remarked that he smelt a rat and saw it floating in the air. Ex-constable McEachern smelt a regiment of rats, and the air seemed to him positively congested with them.

"How can you say all this to me, Baron? You must not."
He thought he had believed that he would receive the sentence which the juryman had spoken so baldly; yet, after the words had been actually spoken, he stared blankly after Bill and the others, and incredulously at the Captain, who seated himself upon a bunk opposite to watch his prisoner, his pistol resting suggestively upon his knee.
Looking down with burning cheeks, she told him what Halsey's story about Newell Knight's levitation had been. She remembered it quite clearly and told it baldly. Before she finished it she heard him mutter below his breath that it was very strange. She was surprised at his tone of perplexity.
