There was something sinister in this man's face; and when things went wrong with him, he could look dangerous enough. There were whispered stories in Golden Friars about Toby Crooke. Nobody could say how they got there. Nothing is more mysterious than the spread of rumour. It is like a vial poured on the air.
Galen and Hippocrates, whom she mentions familiarly, were known to her through the work of the "curious learned Crooke," his "Description of the Body of Man, Collected and Translated out of all the best Authors on Anatomy, especially out of Gasper, Banchinus, and A. Sourentius," being familiar to all students of the day.
Tooke argued in a letter to Dunning that they did; because they were equivalent to the phrase, 'Crooke had been indicted for forgery: she, knowing that, did so and so. This raises the question: What is the meaning of 'that'? Tooke took up the study, thinking, as he says, that it would throw light upon some philosophical questions.
A click answered, and a bland voice which was not the voice he had expected to hear: "Hello? That you, Jack?" He said wearily: "I am waiting to speak with Miss Cecelia Brooke." "Oh, then there must be some mistake. This is Miss Crooke speaking." Lanyard uttered a strangled "Sorry!" and hung up, abandoning further effort as hopeless. That matter would have to stand over till morning.
I did give the poor man something, for which he was mighty thankful, and I tried to cast stones with his horne crooke.
Gentlemen, I mean to spend the night here, and my horse is in the stable. What holiday, fun, or fair has got so many pleasant faces together? When I last called here for, now I bethink me, I have seen the place before you all looked sad. It was on a Sunday, that dismalest of holidays; and it would have been positively melancholy only that your sexton that saint upon earth Mr. Crooke, was here."
This is the most almighty abandoned swindle I ever met in all my born days." The whole meeting, except Mr. Tyrrwhit, received this assertion with loudly expressed applause. "Such a blackguard, dirty, thieving job never was up before in my time. I don't know 'ow to talk of it in language as a man isn't ashamed to commit himself to. It's downright robbery." "I say so too," said Evans & Crooke.
"Very extraordinary! We must try whether there is a bell missing from the tower," said the Vicar, getting into a fuss. "Has Crooke come back yet? Does anyone know where he is?" The sexton had not yet turned up. "That's odd that's provoking," said the Vicar. "However, my key will let us in. Place the bell in the hall while I get it; and then we can see what all this means."
"King Richard's brow grew dark, and Herne uttered an exclamation of rage and despair. "'Thou shalt have a third and yet easier trial, said the king. Old Osmond Crooke shall lend thee his bow, and thy quarry shall be yon magot-pie. "As he spoke, the arrow sped. But it quivered in the trunk of the tree, some yards from the bird.
The king, however, pressed forward, and cried, 'Why does thou disturb the quietude of night, accursed spirit? "Because I desire vengeance! replied Herne, in a hollow voice. 'I was brought to my present woeful condition by Osmond Crooke and his comrades. "'But you died by your own hand, did you not? demanded King Richard.
