She'll see Daly standing there doing nothing, while I am struggling for my life. I've thought it all out very carefully. I know I'm not quick, but I'm sure, and when I make up my mind to do a thing, I do it. You ought to know that." "That's all very well," said the other; "but who else is there to push in?" "That's all right," said Blundell, vaguely.
"John," said Sir Timothy, "would you kindly come out here and speak to me for a moment? Dr. Blundell, would you have the goodness to await me a little longer? You will find the London papers there." "I have them," said Dr. Blundell, from the armchair by the study fire. John Crewys closed the door behind him, and looked rather anxiously at his cousin.
Turnbull, "and a sensible girl would appreciate it. Instead of that, she only sniffed when I told her how careful you always were to wear flannel next to your skin. She said she liked dare-devils." "I suppose she thinks Daly is a dare-devil," said the offended Mr. Blundell. "And I wish people wouldn't talk about me and my skin. Why can't they mind their own business?" Mr.
"It's cooler outside," said Mr. Turnbull, with a wilful ignoring of facts; "much cooler when you get used to it." He led the way with Blundell, and Venia and the sergeant, keeping as much as possible in the shade of the dust-powdered hedges, followed.
"As plucky a thing as ever I see. If I 'adn't ha' been 'andy with that there line you'd both ha' been drownded." "Give my love to everybody," said Blundell, faintly. "Good-bye, Venia. Good-bye, Mr. Turnbull." "Where's that barrel?" demanded the stout fisher-man, crisply. "Going to be all night with it? Now, two of you " Mr.

"I saw it yesterday." "Some o' the roses on that big bush have opened a bit more since then," said the farmer. Sergeant Daly expressed his gratification, and said that he was not surprised. It was only ten days since he had arrived in the village on a visit to a relative, but in that short space of time he had, to the great discomfort of Mr. Blundell, made himself wonderfully at home at Mr.
Blundell, a state of affairs for which he strove with some pertinacity to make that aggrieved gentleman responsible. "Why didn't you go with them?" he demanded. "Because I wasn't asked," replied the other. Mr. Turnbull sat up in his chair and eyed him disdainfully. "For a great, big chap like you are, John Blundell," he exclaimed, "it's surprising what a little pluck you've got."
The names of Gordon, John Clarke, Denman, Burns, Young, Hamilton, Haighton, Good, Waller; Blundell, Gooch, Ramsbotham, Douglas, Lee, Ingleby, Locock, Abercrombie, Alison; Travers, Rigby, and Watson, many of whose writings I have already referred to, may have some influence with those who prefer the weight of authorities to the simple deductions of their own reason from the facts laid before them.
