He was the only surviving blood-relative of Paul Jones in this country, being his great-grandnephew. He told me substantially the history of the change of names as related in my first volume. "Two years later I met the late General Taliaferro of Virginia in Washington, and he corroborated the version, together with the history of the Jones plantation.
All this every man and woman in the court knew already but the Coroner desired to know more. "I believe, Mr. Brent," he said, when the witness had given these particulars, "that you are the deceased's nearest blood-relative?" "I am," replied Brent. "Then you can give us some information which may be of use.
If we have been less active in showing forth our effective good-will towards you than, as a loving kinsman and blood-relative, we would willingly have desired, we request that you will impute it to lack fo opportunity to show our good-liking, not to any coldness of our will.
"As this only legal marriage," said she, "has been blessed with no issue, I am of course, as you must be aware, the legitimate heiress-at-law, as my deceased husband's nearest blood-relative. I shall, however," she added, "take care to amply provide for my widowed niece-in-law." The young woman made a profound rustic courtesy, and tears of unaffected gratitude, I observed, filled her eyes.
Rosamund was inattentive to the conversational slipshod, and launched one of the heavy affirmatives which are in dialogue full stops. Shrapnel. A silly pretty puss of a girl would not have excited it, nor an avowed blood-relative of the demagogue. Nevil's hotel was pointed out to Rosamund, and she left her card there. He had been absent since eight in the morning.
It was as though the heart of the office skipped a beat. He flushed, and, with eyes straight before him, hurried into his own room and sat in his chair. He experienced a quivering, electric emptiness his nerves crying out against an approaching climax. It was blood-relative to panic. Presently he was aware that his father stood in the door scrutinizing him.
It is believed that a certain man who is wanted in an Eastern state is sojourning here. In 1880, in the night, he tied his young wife to a tree by the public road, cut her across the face with a cowhide, and made his dogs tear her clothes from her, leaving her naked. He left her there, and fled the country. A blood-relative of hers has searched for him for seventeen years.
"I am my cousin's nearest blood-relative, and it lies with me to do what I can to find out who's responsible for his death. I understand that you are Deputy-Mayor, so naturally you're conversant with his public affairs. Now, I've learnt within the last hour that he had become unpopular in the town made enemies. Is that so, Mr. Crood?"
Henceforth he would cleanse his mouth whenever he so much as passed in the street near one of that accursed race. With pride he called himself a Nazarene, a native Christian of the land, preferring the insolent domination of the Muslim, his blood-relative, to the arrogance of so-called Christian strangers.
There is a somewhat uncertain belief that it is a blood-relative, and the following myth is told to account for this. A Kayan woman of high class was reaping PADI with her daughter. Now it is against custom to eat any of the rice during reaping; and when the mother went away for a short time leaving the girl at work, she told her on no account to eat any of the rice.
