With a formal inclination of his head, and a word or two corroborative of the officer's estimate of the weather, Doctor James continued his somewhat rapid progress. Three times that night had a patrolman accepted his professional card and the sight of his paragon of a medicine case as vouchers for his honesty of person and purpose.
This witness further deposed to receiving the summons from the police, which she placed along with the key for delivery to L. B. on the latter's return home. The testimony of the uncle was also decisively corroborative of that of the preceding witness, as to the absence from Port of Spain of L. B. during the days embraced in the defence.
He got out dazedly, and the driver cracked his whip over the little horse; but Mellin lifted a detaining hand. "A spet," called Lady Mount-Rhyswicke to the driver. "What is it, Mr. Mellin?" "I can't I can't look you in the face," he stammered, his attitude perfectly corroborative of his words. "I would oh, I would kneel in the dust here before you " "Some of the poetry you told me you write?"
They did not fail of assistance. The most powerful influence in the town was ponderously corroborative: Martin Pike, who stood for all that was respectable and financial, who passed the plate o' Sundays, who held the fortunes of the town in his left hand, who was trustee for the widow and orphan, Martin Pike, patron of all worthy charities, courted by ministers, feared by the wicked and idle, revered by the good, Judge Martin Pike never referred to the runaway save in the accents of an august doomster.

A comparison of light-curves with curves of spot-frequency leaves no doubt on this point, and the strongest corroborative evidence is derived from the emergence of bright lines in the spectra of long-period variables rising to their recurring maxima. Every kind and degree of variability is exemplified in the heavens.
As corroborative of which remark, the present writer recalls to recollection very clearly the fact of Dickens saying to him one day, saying it with a most whimsical air by-the-bye, but very earnestly, "Once, and but once only in my life, I was frightened!"
Mr. Nothing could be clearer, shorter, or more satisfactory than the evidence of Mr. Brandon. The corroborative testimony of the watchman followed; and then Paul was called upon for his defence. This was equally brief with the charge; but, alas! it was not equally satisfactory. It consisted in a firm declaration of his innocence.
It is, in short, intoxication that fills our jails; it is intoxication that fills our lunatic asylums; it is intoxication that fills our work-houses with poor. Were it not for this one cause, pauperism would be nearly extinguished in England." We could go on and fill pages with corroborative facts and figures, drawn from the most reliable sources.
It was but corroborative of the despoiled drawer; and, at the same time, the obvious reason why the door had not been relocked when whoever had come here had gone out again. Whoever had come here! She could have laughed out hysterically. Was there any doubt as to who it was? One of Danglar's emissaries; the Cricket, perhaps-or perhaps even Danglar himself!
