"I say," continued Philip at last, after they had been conversing some time, during which Master Fred had been cross-questioning Philip as to his educational knowledge, and giving that young gentleman to understand what a high position he occupied at Saint Paul's School "I say," said Philip, "can you swim?" "No," replied Fred. "Can you play cricket?" "No," said Fred.
It was with considerable secret disappointment that the Chief of the Special Service Department of the C.L.S. made arrangements for the President's car to continue eastward with No. 2, while he remained behind at Wardlow; for thereby Cranston was losing a splendid opportunity to demonstrate his ability at cross-questioning in the presence of the magnate. He was only human.
And I played the inquisitor, in cross-questioning Harry respecting the precise degree in which he was a practical sailor; whether he had a giddy head; whether his arms could bear the weight of his body; whether, with but one hand on a shroud, a hundred feet aloft in a tempest, he felt he could look right to windward and beard it.
But I had no inclination to subject myself to the sort of cross-questioning that might be expected from folk of the class of which the emigrants were largely composed. I therefore raised my hand for silence and to command attention, and when I saw that they were ready to listen to me I began.
"I'll tell you everything about your mother if you'll tell me what you know," he said, looking straight at her. "What is it you want to know?" she asked in a cross-questioning tone. "Are you going to write about me in the papers?" "My dear child, we must find your grandmother! She may be starving." "I think she's at the 'Generality," said the child quietly.
Work which according to any equitable, reasonable, or even decent procedure should have been entrusted to the first lawyers of the country preparing the case upon the law and the facts with the documents before them, with the power of cross-questioning witnesses and sifting evidence, and enlightened by constant conferences with the illustrious prisoner himself came entirely upon his own shoulders, enfeebled as he was by age, physical illness, and by the exhaustion of along imprisonment.
The coincidence was so unlikely a priori, unless some forlorn parent without antecedents had named a child after me, that I could not help cross-questioning the Doctor, who assured me deliberately that the fact was just as he had said, even to the somewhat unusual initials. Dr.
When I learned, through his short and surly answers to my cross-questioning, that he was certainly going on and would not be in the city next day to make trouble, I got ahead of the other papers, for I took down his list of names and added his party to the killed and wounded. Having more scope here, I put this wagon through an Indian fight that to this day has no parallel in history.
And well he might, for with all his scheming he had not been able to add a single scrap of information to the first report he made to Colonel Shelby. The boy Julius held manfully to his story that Mrs. Gray was the best kind of a Confederate, that she had no money except the dollar she carried in her pocket-book and the most cunningly worded cross-questioning could not draw anything else from him.
"But you had not seen Ajax Stone's face; how then could you recognize him?" "No, I had not seen his face, but I had the back of his head and how he was dressed, and I knew I had fastened him in there, and that he didn't get out till the sheriff took him out; and then I heard his voice and knew it was Ajax's voice." The cross-questioning went on.
