A moment later the teacher began to cross-question him about his knowledge of letters and spelling, and he found it much easier to answer her than to face the children. But, of course, after a while he was quite at home among them without knowing how it had happened. That afternoon his mother came for him.
She added no new facts to her first statement, but insisted that the long-lost dead was yet alive, with a quiet pertinacity that it was simply impossible to ridicule, frighten, threaten, or cross-question out of her, Clara was so thoroughly alarmed that she would not have slept alone for any mortal perhaps not for any immortal considerations.
"You cross-question me rather unfairly," he replied, "and I do not know why I answer you at all. Mrs. Bold is a very beautiful woman, and as intelligent as beautiful. It is impossible to know her without admiring her." "So you think the widow a very beautiful woman?" "Indeed I do." "And one that would grace the parsonage of St. Ewold's." "One that would well grace any man's house."
In this latter case the evidence would be less convincing, owing to the lack of opportunity to cross-question, though even here apparent lack of bias or the existence of biased testimony on both sides, from which a judicious man might have a fair chance to extract the truth, would go far to cure the defect.
"You cannot produce, then, any communication from Freistner, except the proposals of peace, written within the last say month?" "What the mischief are you getting at?" Fenn demanded hotly. "And what right have you to stand there and cross-question me?" "The right of being prepared to call you to your face a liar," Julian said gravely.
Lady Janet settled herself in her chair, prepared to question and cross-question her nephew, when an obstacle appeared at the other end of the library, in the shape of a man-servant with a message. One of Lady Janet's neighbors had called by appointment to take her to the meeting of a certain committee which assembled that day.
You must observe how it is done, so that you can make use of similar methods in the future when in the position of Lieutenant-Governor you will have to cross-question some suspicious rascal in order to wring the truth out of him!" By this time we had started at a brisk pace along the banks of the Danube.
"I have been led to make so many statements to other people, which now seem to have been incorrect! It was only the box that was taken at Carlisle?" "Only the box." She could answer that question. "But the thieves thought that the diamonds were in the box?" "I suppose so. But, oh, Frank! don't cross-question me about it. If you could know what I have suffered, you would not punish me any more.
"Tell me all about yourself," she said; and proceeded to cross-question him about his life and his adventures. Poor Samuel was like a witness in the hands of a prosecutor he became hopelessly confused and frightened. But that made no difference to the girl, who poured a ceaseless fire of questions upon him, until she had laid his whole life bare.
From every Indian who came to the fort he made inquiries for the old trapper, who was known to many of them. At length several brought tidings of his death. Laurence refused to believe them; and when Mr Ramsay came to cross-question his visitors, he found that they had only heard the report from others. Laurence, therefore, begged that he might be allowed to go out and search for the old man.
