I had been travelling through Tunis before that, and well, one doesn't like to be without these things. Sir Nigel's revolver came from India, I believe through the agents of a French firm, the makers." "But " The coroner's voice was low-pitched, incredulous, "are you trying to tell us you fired a shot that night, Miss Brellier?" She shook her head, smiling. "No that would be impossible.
"In the Daniels' manuscript, gentlemen, a coroner's inquest exonerated the man who was responsible for the death of the papoose; this the magazine suppressed. I am able to offer in evidence James Daniels' affidavit." Then, while the jury gathered these varying ideas in fragments, Lucky Banks' treble rose. "Let's hear what the lady wrote."
That kept us busy for several hours, during which Craig was in close consultation with the coroner's physician. The physician was of the opinion that Miss Gilbert had been drugged as well as strangled, and for many hours, down in his laboratory, his chemists were engaged in trying to discover from tests of her blood whether the theory was true.
"Candidly, I don't, and you know it," he said. "But this is a stunner on me. What's your game, anyhow?" I wished I knew. "So accomplished a detective should not be at a loss to answer so simple a question." "Well, there's only one course open, as I see," he said with a groan. "We've got to have a story ready for the papers and the coroner's jury."
"Coroner's inquest; jury proceeding to view the body." Elizabeth, who had never come into contact with any thing of the sort, stood aside with a sense of awe, to let the little procession pass, and then followed up the street. It stopped; oh no! not at that door! But it was; there was no mistaking the number, nor the drawn-down blind in the upper room Tom's room.
Reginald Eversleigh knew that his presence would be required at the coroner's inquest. The surgeon did not attempt to detain him. For the time, at least, this arch-plotter found himself suddenly brought to a stand-still. The inquest commenced almost immediately after Reginald's return to the castle.

He saw at once that Ransford, however strenuously he might be fighting to keep his face under control, was most certainly agitated by the Coroner's announcement.
This kind of coroner's inquest appeared most strange to the travellers, when it was well known to them that the king of Badagry, so far from following the example of other kings, who are so extremely anxious about the life of their subjects, often amuses himself with chopping off two or three hundred heads of his subjects, in order that the path to his apartments may be paved with their skulls; and should there not be quite a sufficient number to complete the job, the deficiency is made up with the same indifference, as a schoolboy strikes off the heads of the poppies in the corn fields.
He drew a long spray of the bramble towards him, fingering it very carefully, following the spines of its curved prickles, and, having found its leafy end, drew it meditatively through the trigger-guard of his gun. The countryside scoffed at the finding of the coroner's jury that the last heir of the a Cleeves had met his death by misadventure.
"The unfortunate young husband of the deceased lady was not much worried with questions that night. As a matter of fact, he was not in a fit condition to make any coherent statement.
