Let me see the writing. My lord, 't is nothing. No matter, then, who sees it; I will be satisfied, let me see the writing. Richard II. What is the explanation of Carmel's reappearance in town and of this sensational introduction of her into the court-room, in a restored state of health of which no one, so far as known, had had any intimation save the man who was responsible for her appearance?
The next second the Judge began to speak, and Thompson, and the court-room with him, heaved a deep sigh of relief. "Young man," said the Judge, "you have committed an act of grievous impropriety.
"Well, I've seed him m m m m make l l l lasses." The Judge grew impatient. "Do you know why you are here?" "B b b b because they c c c c cotch me." "No nonsense, sir." "P p p p pap he 'lows I ain't g g g got no sense of any s s s sort, much." The Judge sighed. "When you go into the court-room, do you think you can understand the nature of an oath?" "W w w well, I ought to.
The court-room was jammed with the men of the creeks and trails, and there was an ominous note in the rumble and grumble of their low-pitched voices, which came to his ears like the growl of the sea from deep caverns. He sat close by a window, and his apathetic eyes rested now and again on the dreary scene without. The sky was overcast, and a gray drizzle was falling.
"Here," replied la Peyrade, feeling under his gown for his pocket and bringing out a paper, "here's what I scribbled just now in the court-room while the lawyer on the other side rambled on like an expert." "What is it about?" asked Thuillier. "Read and you'll see." The paper read as follows: Estimate for a newspaper, small size, at thirty francs a year.
This last remark was addressed to the defendant's attorney. "I have no questions to ask," said Goodlaw, "I have no doubt the witness tells the truth." "That's all," said Sharpman, quickly; then, turning again toward the court-room, he called: "William Buckley!" Bachelor Billy arose from among the crowds on the front benches, and made his way awkwardly around the aisle and up to the witness-stand.
Many times I have seen the eager spectator in a court-room, looking vainly among the group of lawyers before the bar, for the monster they have conjured up in their imaginations, and finally settling upon some sharp-featured, but unimpeachable attorney as the malefactor, indulge in wise reflections as to the impossibility of mistaking a rogue from his appearance.
Miss Chandore, on the contrary, is lively, does not seem in the least concerned, and returns with a bright smile the few greetings she receives from various parts of the court-room. But soon they are no longer an object of curiosity. The attention of all is now directed towards a large table standing before the judges, and on which may be seen a number of articles covered by large red cloth.
In less than forty-five minutes from the conclusion of the statement the jury retired, but no one moved from his place in the crowded court-room, for all felt that little time would be required for their decision. In ten minutes they returned, and, amid the silence that followed, the foreman announced the verdict, "for the proponent, Harold Scott Mainwaring."
"No, sir," and he stepped down amid a suppressed hiss in the court-room, for the spectators evidently shared in the antipathy with which he had inspired the keen-eyed but impassive and reticent magistrate, who now beckoned Mildred to step up close to him, and she came to him as if he were her friend instead of her judge.
