Barton, who was called next, and whose evidence excited the keenest interest, identified the prisoner as the man whom he had caused to be arrested in the office of Messrs. Martin and Wright, and whom he had known as Cranley.
Cranley," she said; "and, as I have put off luncheon till two, do tell me that you know someone who will suit me for my dear Bun-house. I know how much you have always been interested in our little project." Mr. Cranley assured her that, by a remarkable coincidence, he knew the very kind of people she wanted.
Miss Amelia Wilhelmina Cranley, the most pious of her sex, the flower of Mr. Whitfield's converts, the wonder and admiration of Roger the cobler, has given up the ghost. You will please then, in what follows, to represent to yourselves the charms of Sophia as decked and burnished with a suit of sables.
But evidence derived from a later medical examination would establish the presumption, which would be confirmed by the testimony of an eye-witness, that death had been wilfully caused by Cranley, employing a poison which it would be shown he had in his possession a poison which was not swallowed by the victim, but introduced by means of a puncture into the system.
He drew from his pocket a silver cigarette-case, and, in a thoroughly English accent, he went on: "I have waited long to give you back your cigarette-case, which you left at your club, Mr. Thomas Cranley!"

He was not designed in the scheme of things to be a soft, silky-voiced creature like Cranley Beaton, for instance talking gossip and handing tea-cups; he was just intended to be a fierce, great hunter, rushing round killing his food and capturing his mate; and women have remained such primitive unspoiled darlings, they can still be dominated by these lovely qualities when they have a chance to see them.
Cranley that I engaged both Miss Burnside and that unhappy woman whom I can't think of without shuddering. The inquest is to be held to-morrow. It is too dreadful when these things, that have been only names, come home to one. Now, I really do not like to think hardly of anybody, but I must admit that Mr. Cranley has quite misled me about the housekeeper.
"She called her Daisy Shields," said Barton. "Well, I suppose she did! I always fancied, after what happened at The Bunhouse, that that dreadful Mr. Cranley sent her to me under a false name. It was not her fault. The question is, What was her reason for keeping her real name concealed?" "That's what I'm coming to," said Barton. "I have a friend, a Mr. Maitland." "Mr. Maitland of St.
The parallel horizontal wrinkles of the gambler were just sketched on his smooth girlish brow as he returned with his paper. The bank had been losing, but not largely. The luck turned again as soon as Martin threw down some of his scrip. Thrice consecutively he lost. "Excuse me," said Barton suddenly to Cranley, "may I help myself to one of your cigarettes?"
