At this moment I observed Walter Hornby enter the court and take up a position at the end of our bench nearest the door; and, immediately after, Superintendent Miller came in and seated himself on one of the benches opposite. "The first witness whom I shall call," said Sir Hector Trumpler, "is John Hornby." Mr.
The relations between the countries were gradually settling down on a satisfactory basis, and the appointment of a Supreme Court for China and Japan at Shanghai, with Sir Edmund Hornby as Chief Judge, promised to enforce obedience to the law among even the unsettled adventurers of different, nationalities left by the conclusion of the Taeping Rebellion and the cessation of piracy without a profitable pursuit.
Susan Hornby, who had thought her darling resting on this quiet Sabbath day, was reëstablished at the bedside, and it was not till the morning of the tenth day that she again left the house. At the end of that time she was dismissed reluctantly by the good old doctor himself.
Hornby was advised that a parcel of stones had been despatched by the Elmina Castle, and it appeared that the parcel was an unusually large one and contained stones of exceptional size and value. Under these circumstances Mr. Reuben was sent down to the docks at an early hour in the hope the ship might arrive in time for the stones to be lodged in the bank at once.
Oh, my dear, I'm so glad to see you!" she cried, flinging her arms around his neck. "Hulloa there," he said awkwardly. "But how did you come? I didn't hear any wheels." "Look." He pointed over to the shed; she looked over his shoulder to see Reggie Hornby grinning at her from the seat of a wagon. "Why, it's Reggie Hornby. Reggie!" she called. Reggie took off his broad hat with a flourish.
At other times Elizabeth was her Katie grown older. It was the flowering time of Susan Hornby's life. The fact that Elizabeth had never crossed her threshold since her marriage to John Hunter had faded out of Aunt Susan's mind. Elizabeth's every word and look spoke the affection she felt for her. Other people might sneer and doubt, but Susan Hornby accepted what her instincts told her was genuine.
"Kindly look at that book, Mrs. Hornby." "I'd rather not," said she, with a gesture of repugnance. "It is associated with matters of so extremely disagreeable a character " "Do you recognise it?" "Do I recognise it! How can you ask me such a question when you must know " "Answer the question," interposed the judge. "Do you or do you not recognise the book in your hand?" "Of course I recognise it.
As he intended to take Holy Orders, he did not give up his residence there; but his first use of his leisure was to take a journey on the Continent with his brother and Mr. Hornby. It was then that, as he afterwards wrote, his real education began, partly from the opening of his mind by the wonders of nature and art, and partly from the development of his genius for philology.
Hornby glanced at the paper for a moment, and then said "This is the memorandum slip that I found lying at the bottom of the safe." "How do you identify it?" "By the writing on it, which is in my own hand, and bears my initials." "Is it the memorandum that you placed on the parcel of diamonds?" "Yes." "Was there any thumb-mark or blood-smear on it when you placed it in the safe?" "No."
Sir Runan was doubtless what Messrs. Myers and Gurney call a visible apparition as distinguished from the common invisible apparition. If a real judge confesses, like Sir E. Hornby, to having seen a ghost, why should not a mere accessory after the fact? Regaining my presence of mind, I asked, 'What brings you here? 'Oh, to see the fun, he replied. 'Fellow being tried for killing me.
