"'Then, thinks I" Phillis stated the various steps of her reasoning "'you wouldn't take the trouble to pull over them nasty, muddy close, 'thout you expected to get some good out on 'em, or was afeard of somethin' or 'nother fallin' into somebody else's hands. Whichsomever this mought be,'twasn't my business to be gittin' up a row and a to-do before the crowner and all them gentlemen.
'If that's the case, says Symonds, 'I've a little room at the back where he'd go very comfortable quite shut off, as you might say. We must send for the doctor, of course, and the crowner can sit on him to-morrow that is, if you feel sure deceased wouldn' think it any disrespect. 'Disrespect? says I. 'You don't know Bill.
'I believe that oss, with a bold rider on his back, and well away with the 'ounds, would beat most osses goin', but it's the start that's the difficulty with him; for if, on the other 'and, he don't incline to go, all the spurrin', and quiltin', and leatherin' in the world won't make 'im. It'll be a mercy o' Providence if he don't cut out work for the crowner some day.
"I should ha' said the verdict," explained Robin. "I'm beside myself to-day, Mr. Lionel. Can't Mr. Verner get it squashed? He knows the crowner." "Neither Mr. Verner nor anybody else could do it, Robin. Why should you wish it done?" "Because it as good as sets forth a lie," vehemently answered Robin Frost. "She never put herself into the water.
Old Muster Fowler, the fat crowner, will set upon me now." "Have you caught anything?" said Jack. "Caught anything?" "Yes; you've been in for eels, haven't you?" "D n!" "Well, it is odd to me, as some people can't go a fishing without getting out of temper. Have it your own way; I won't interfere with you;" and away Jack walked.
Oh, no doubt of that the third time's always the charm! an' into my heart that unlucky knife 'ill go, if she ever tries it a third time! They tell me," she proceeded, soliloquizing, as she was in the habit of doing, "that the inquest is to be held in a day or two, an' that the crowner was only unwell a trifle, and hadn't the sickness afther all.
Mars Lennox and Mars Alfred, there is one thing I insists on havin'. The law is all lop-sided from fust to last in this here case, and I want it squoze into shape, till t'other side swells out a little. I want the Crowner to go up yonder now, and hold another inquess. He's done sot all wrong on the body, and now let him set on the sperrit if he kin. I'm in plum earnest.
Was it the work of one to go and buy herself aprons, and tape, and cotton for sewing, who was on her way to fling herself into a pond, I'd ask the crowner?" he continued, his voice rising almost to a shriek in his emotion. "Them aprons be a proof that she didn't take her own life. Why didn't they bring it in Wilful Murder, and have the place scoured out to find him?"
"Well," remarked Brereton presently, "we're very much obliged to you, ma'am, and I'm sure you won't have any objection to telling all this again at the proper time and place, eh?" "Eh, bless you, no!" answered Mrs. Hamthwaite. "I'll tell it wherever you like, master before Lawyer Tallington, or the magistrates, or the crowner, or anybody!
Halfred," said Dick sorrowfully, "how can I find fortune here? Jenner don't pay. And the crowner declares he will not have it; and the Barton Chronicle says us young gents ought all to be given a holiday to go and see one of us hanged by lot.
