"Oh," she said, carelessly, "I did not cross-question, of course. Puzzles are always interesting, more or less. And a puzzle which perplexed my father was certainly unique. So I was a trifle curious, that's all." I came to earth with a thud. "I see," I said, curtly. "Well, I presume I should thank my friends for the testimonials to my character.
"Now that you remind me of it, I distinctly recollect her saying that it was the great thing in her life." "There you are then. Perhaps now you'll believe me for the future, and not be starting miserable, sceptical objections to every word I say. What did you say when she talked to you about her art?

His mother and sisters, however, rendered him no assistance by prolonging their stay. With unwonted assiduity he pressed a second glass of claret on his mother. But Lady Arabella was not only temperate in her habits, but also at the present moment very angry with her son.

Trust is more than assent.
To Maurice's great relief, he omitted all mention of the girl who had supplied the lamp which so conveniently burnt low, but he had recognised Maurice and was prepared to swear to his identity. "No doubt," said General Clavering, "you will wish to cross-question this man, my lord." Lord Dunseveric yawned.

It was so hard for him to think, and dry sobs kept choking him; but the wonderful fact slowly possessed him that he had served her.
