"It suddenly struck me," said he, "that Lady Cromarty might think it somewhat unseemly of me to come enquiring about shooting so soon after her bereavement; so I gave her a somewhat different explanation. She is not likely to make any further enquiries about me and so you need say nothing about my visit." He was careful however to impress on his friend Mr.
"Then you wouldn't think there would be any harm, sir, in my continuing my investigations?" "On your present lines, the only harm is likely to be to yourself. Keep at it but don't hang yourself accidentally. And let me know if you discover anything else mind that." "I'll mind on it, no fears, Mr. Cromarty!"
The guide now led the elephant out of the thicket, and leaped upon his neck. Just at the moment that he was about to urge Kiouni forward with a peculiar whistle, Mr. Fogg stopped him, and, turning to Sir Francis Cromarty, said, "Suppose we save this woman." "Save the woman, Mr. Fogg!" "I have yet twelve hours to spare. I can devote them to that." "Why, you are a man of heart!"
But I am also lawyer and factor to the Cromarty family, and my father was before me. If there was evidence enough clear and proper evidence to convict any person of this crime, it would be my duty as Procurator Fiscal to convict them. But there is no definite evidence, as you know yourself. All we can do, if we push this matter too far, is to make a family scandal public.
Miller was born at Cromarty in 1802, and though more than fairly educated, held till he was past thirty no higher position than that of a stone-mason. He had begun to write, however, earlier than this, and, engaging in particular in the two rather dissimilar subjects of geology and "Free Kirk" polemic, he was made editor of the Witness, a newspaper started in the interest of the new principles.
If there still linger in the remoter parts of Cromarty or the Balls Pond Road certain unsophisticated persons who believe that the stage is one long glad symposium of wine, woman and song they will be interested to know that Mr. He has no use for the cynic who declared that there are three sexes, men, women and actors.
"You are a member of the family, Mr. Cromarty; the actual head of it, in fact, I believe." "Going by pedigrees, I believe I am, but being a member is reason enough for my wanting to get daylight through this business and seeing somebody swing for it!" "What if you made things worse?" "Worse! How could they be?" "Mr. Cromarty, I am the Procurator Fiscal in charge of this case.
"I shall merely say I have been for a walk, and you need only say you have been for a ride if you don't want to say where you have really been." "And if you don't want to mention that you were driving with Ned Cromarty," he retorted. "He only very kindly offered me a lift!" She looked quickly at him as she spoke and as quickly away again. The glint in her eye seemed to displease him.
So it's perfectly certain the man must have come in at the door. That's a fair deduction, is it not, sir?" Ned Cromarty frowned into space in silence. When he spoke it seemed to be as much to himself as to Bisset. "How did the window get unsnibbed? Everything beats me, but that beats me fairly." "Well, sir, Mr.
Fogg and Sir Francis Cromarty, after searching the village from end to end, came back without having found anything. "I shall go afoot," said Phileas Fogg. Passepartout, who had now rejoined his master, made a wry grimace, as he thought of his magnificent, but too frail Indian shoes.
