Crashaw was seated at his study table; the affair had something the effect of an examining magistrate taking the evidence of witnesses.
Lord knows who the other chap was and what he was asking questions for, but this one was a 'tec, straight. Joe Forman, he was in to-day looking after my place, for I'd given a month's notice, and he says to me, 'You see that big chap? meaning him as had been asking me the questions and I says 'Yes! and he says, 'That's a 'tee.
Turner, a woman whose profession it was to study and to accommodate the fancies of such persons as the countess.

On the stone frieze supported by the caryatides, immediately under the woodwork, was inserted a metal plate, on which was written, in Latin, a few lines to the effect that "in this room, Simon Forman, the seeker of hidden truth, taking refuge from unjust persecution, made those discoveries in nature which he committed, for the benefit of a wiser age, to the charge of his protector and patron, the worshipful Sir Miles Derval, knight."
