"Oh, no, sir." "Your occupation?" "I had a place in the Hotel Mauritania." "Have you ever been tried before?" "I never got tried before, because, as we used to live formerly " "So you never were tried before?" "God forbid, never." "Have you received a copy of the indictment?" "I have." "Sit down." "Euphemia Ivanovna Botchkova," said the president, turning to the next prisoner.
She has very much improved since she has been married, and you know, yourself, how quiet and and, nice she is, and as for the baby, it's just as good and pretty as any baby, and it may grow up to be better than any of us. Some of our presidents have sprung from lowly parents." "But this one is a girl," I said. "Well then," replied Euphemia, "she may be a president's wife."
Had Crinkett come to him, explaining all that he now explained, without any interference from Euphemia Smith, he would have been anxious to do much. But now; how could he do anything now? 'I do not at all disbelieve what you tell me about the mine, he said. 'And yet you won't do anything for us?
I shall only briefly say that all inquiries about these damsels proved satisfactory, and I could see Euphemia and Lois depart, with tolerable equanimity. The former wept, and begged for a box of Cockles' pills; but Lois tossed her elfish head, and gave me to understand that she had never been properly admired or appreciated whilst in my service.
This sort of thing, kept up for an hour or so at a time, used to drive me nearly wild. But Euphemia did not mind it. I believe that she had so delicate a sense of what was proper, that she did not hear Pomona's private readings. On one occasion, even Euphemia's influence could scarcely restrain me from violent interference.
Then the instinct of the doctor came uppermost once more. "Is some one ill?" he asked briefly. "Yes; it's Ned," answered Louise hurriedly. "He hasn't been well all day, and he's worse to-night, so I wanted you to see him. Cousin Euphemia says it's nothing but Come, you can see for yourself."
These were the officers of justice, with a warrant of justiciary to search for and apprehend Euphemia, or Effie Deans, accused of the crime of child-murder. The stunning weight of a blow so totally unexpected bore down the old man, who had in his early youth resisted the brow of military and civil tyranny, though backed with swords and guns, tortures and gibbets.
I got over the bulwarks and let myself down to the ground. Then the boarder got Euphemia up and slipped her over the side, holding to her hands, and letting her gently down until I could reach her. She said never a word, but screamed at times. I carried her a little way up the shore and set her down.
I had seen and chosen two very respectable young women in Christchurch, one as a cook, and the other as a housemaid. The cook, Euphemia by name, was a tall, fat, flabby woman, with a pasty complexion, but a nice expression of face, and better manners than usual.
The usher again rushed up to Simeon Kartinkin, and stopped him in a tragic whisper. The president moved the hand with which he held the paper and placed the elbow in a different position with an air that said: "This is finished," and turned to Euphemia Botchkova.
