The tender-hearted bargeman who had asked leave to fetch a doctor, drew near her with a kindred instinct "Don't take on, miss there's the crowner yet and a deal to look to," said the kind rough fellow, who knew Nettie.
The last night they kept it up in great style, and were getting into a high-go, when the captain called us off to go aboard, for, it being south-easter season, he was afraid to remain on shore long; and it was well he did not, for that very night, we slipped our cables, as a crowner to our fun ashore, and stood off before a south-easter, which lasted twelve hours, and returned to our anchorage the next day.
Cervantes never imagined an Alcalde of the quality of the "Crowner" who figures in this story. Were it not that his antics cost a poor woman her liberty from August 1887 till December of that year, when the happy chance of a winter assizes set her free, and might have cost her her life, the story of this ideal magistrate would be extremely diverting. A child was born to Mrs.
The red vases what stood on the fire-place mantle was smashed on the carpet, and the handi'on was close to Marster's right hand. The vault was open, and papers was strowed plentiful round on the floor under it. Then the neighburs and the Doctor, and the Crowner come runnin' in, and I sot down by the bed and cried like a chile. Pretty soon they turned us all out and hilt the inquess."
If you could tell so much as a word or two out of it, Mary? They said you burned it an' the crowner was mighty angry, but I thot as p'raps you'd looked at it all the same, awnly weern't pleased to say so." "No," she answered. "Tis true I found a letter, an' I might a read some of it if I would, but I judged better not. 'Tweern't fair to her like."
"What a tale, to be sure!" "And then," added Peter's mother, growing more dramatic as the story proceeded, "the station-master sends for the police, and the police sends for the crowner, so as everything shall be decent and in order; and they walks in a solemn procession with two porters carrying a shutter to the carriage where Peter lies, all as grand and nice as if it was a funeral."
Molloy, at me, and I had to shtan' up to him for three hours before the Crowner, an' he was onable to git the throoth out of me, so he was! so he was!" Neither did Dr. Dillon mention the fact that one of the demands made of Captain Hamilton, Mr. Brooke's agent, in December 1886, was that a Protestant tenant named Webster should be evicted by Mr.

If you decoy us on a wild goose chase I shall feel like cutting one of your ears off!"
He ban't himself 'tall. You'd best to go arter en now this minute. An' theer's things to be done in Penzance the doctor an' the crowner an' an' the coffin-maker. Do what you can to take trouble off the auld man." "Get me my coat an' I'll go straight 'way. 'Tis thrawed awver the poor faace of her." Two minutes later Mr.
I'd take my affidavit that if the crowner could sit upon her when she dies and die she will that there fine gentleman and his guitar will be found at the bottom of her chest. But don't go off about that now though 'tis the reason I won't part from the poor thing till I can help the better luck for you that you'd got more in your head than vanities and furbelows.
