"It would probably aggravate a tendency to epilepsy, by lowering the general health." "Thank you, Sir Henry." Mr. Middleheath resumed his seat, and Sir Herbert Templewood got up to cross-examine. Sir Herbert Templewood did not believe the evidence of the specialist, and he did not think the witness believed it himself. Sir Herbert did not think any the worse of the witness on that account.
"The Maori ran away when I attempted to cross-examine him, and Toni denies all knowledge of the duet on the wharf." "Oh, we must ask him again!" she cried. "There he is near the wheel. I'll go and bring him!" She raced madly after the Fijian and hauled him before us in triumph.
"You are a most extraordinary witness," he said; "but there is something about you that makes me think you are trying to tell the truth. Well, who was the man you saw in the passage?" "He was myself," said Father Brown. Butler, K.C., sprang to his feet in an extraordinary stillness, and said quite calmly: "Your lordship will allow me to cross-examine?"

You talk of a desert island, and swimming, and seaweed, Greg!
Clara met the few men to whom her husband introduced her in London with feverish eagerness; afraid after fifteen years to say one word that might suggest her own concern in Jerry's future, quivering to cross-examine him, when they were alone, as to what had been said, and implied, and suggested.
