'Harrington's his name, my lady. Don't know whether you ever heard of it. Lady Jocelyn flung herself back in her chair. 'The queerest thing I ever met! said she. 'Thousand a year to start with, Old Tom went on, 'and if she marries I mean if he marries her, I'll settle a thousand per ann. on the first baby-boy or gal. 'Hum! Is this gross collusion, Mr. Tom? Lady Jocelyn inquired.
He liked Sir George; his smaller manhood went out in admiration to the other's splendid personality. On the other hand, he had viewed Soane's approaches to his client with misgiving. He had scented a trap here and a bait there, and a dozen times, while dwelling on Dr. Addington's postponements and delays, he had accused the two of collusion and of some deep-laid chicanery.
It was a conflict of unspoken impulses, and the words, when they were uttered, seemed to carry hidden meanings, and to my mind they carried the worst and most sinister meaning conceivable. To me, it seemed to point unmistakably to collusion between Florence Lloyd, whom I already loved, and Gregory Hall, whom I already distrusted and disliked.
"You and Mrs. Dlimm are alike in many respects, but I fear the world would not regard either of you as the best of counsellors." "Whenever I have taken counsel of the world, I have got into trouble, Miss Marsden." "There, that is just what she said again. Are you two in collusion." "Only as all truth agrees with itself," he answered, laughing.
I say it may be the work of an individual it's quite possible that the man who killed the Frenchwoman is also the man who shot Lydenberg but it may be the work of one, two, or three separate persons, acting in collusion. I believe that Lydenberg was the actual thief of the Princess's jewels from your cousin; that the Frenchwoman actually stole her mistress's jewels.
Failing that there would have to be collusion either on one side or both, and that is not possible not to you, my child, not to the daughter of your mother, that dear saint who suffered so long and was silent." More than ever now I felt like a ship-broken man with the last plank sinking under him.
The fact of the presence of the chambermaid who had come to clean up The Yellow Room in the laboratory, when Monsieur Stangerson and his daughter returned from their walk, at half-past one, permits us to affirm that at half-past one the murderer was not in the chamber under the bed, unless he was in collusion with the chambermaid. What do you say, Monsieur Darzac?"
But exactly the same idea is beautifully illustrated by the doctrine of "collusion," which, in theory, is still strictly observed in many countries. According to the doctrine of "collusion" the conditions necessary to make the divorce possible must on no account be secured by mutual agreement.
Now, honour bright, which of these men do you take Godwin Markham to be?" "Gabriel Chestermarke!" answered Starmidge promptly. "It's established that he's constantly in London as much in London as in Scarnham. Gabriel Chestermarke certainly with, no doubt, Joseph in collusion. The probability is that they run that money-lending office in Conduit Street under the name of Godwin Markham.
But Drew would have escaped if it had not been for the stranger, who, acting in collusion with Bagot, caught the lad by the arm and held him. Frank had sprung to his feet, to stand white and trembling, and drew sword ready to interfere on behalf of his old companion, who, however, began to act his part admirably. "Don't you hit me," he whined; "don't you hit me." "You young whelp!" cried Bagot.
