They seemed to have recovered their reasoning faculties, but the result showed that this was very far from being the case; for, happening to meet on the banks of the Cherwell, they attacked each other with such fury, that, like Brutus and Aruns, they were both killed on the spot, the barber having been burked in the encounter, and the student having died of a wound which he received in the throat by his antagonist's razor.
They talked of decapitation. "... Burked.... Treachery.... Shame.... Sold...." Others did not worry about the living: they were incensed against the dead, whose sales without royalties choked up the market. It appeared that the works of De Musset had just become public property, and were selling far too well.
It probably concealed regret at finding himself conspicuous. After dinner at the Birds' one evening we fell to talking of garrotters. About this time the police reports were full of cases of garrotting. The victim was seized from behind, one man gagged or burked him, while another picked his pocket. 'What should you do, Burton? the Doctor asked, 'if they tried to garrotte you?
But he did not look the least as if he enjoyed his honours, but rather as if he felt an insupportable burden of responsibility.

He put away "burked" the Directors letter, and went in to talk to Riley, who was as ungracious as usual, and fretting himself over the way the bank would run during his illness. He never thought of the extra work on Reggie's shoulders, but solely of the damage to his own prospects of advancement.
Doubtless you observe that all the swindlers, whose adventures enliven your journals, are dressed 'in the height of fashion, and enjoy 'a mild prepossessing demeanour. Even the Cholera does not menace 'a gentleman of the better ranks; and no bodies are burked with a decent suit of clothes on their backs.
They burked the fact that Sprot confessed all these, with one or, perhaps, two exceptions, to be forgeries by himself. What they quoted, as letters of Logan and Gowrie, were merely descriptions of such letters given by Sprot from memory of their contents.
That the plot was known to the Italian Legation is clear, for the Italian war correspondents had the information from the Legation and hurried to the spot the day before.
