He would cheerfully devote years to the examination of a case; he was even now engaged on a case of Belgian bank-notes, of which he did not collect all the threads, and solve the mystery, until after four years' investigation. Thus it was always to his office that they brought the endless lawsuits, half-finished inquests, and tangled cases.
"No, it was postponed at the request of the county physician." "Has there been a coroner's inquest?" "No. None was deemed necessary at the time I left, at the solicitation of Miss Carwell, to get you." "I see. Inquests are less often held in New Jersey than in some of the other states.

Phi-ew!" he whistled. "If they get on to this story in its entirety, won't they publish chapter and verse!" So Trenholme went out into the village street and walked to his quarters in the White Horse Inn.
"I say, do you really?" said Bill, rather flattered. He had a great admiration for Antony, and was very proud to be liked by him. "Yes. You see, things are going to happen here soon." "Inquests and that sort of thing?" "Well, perhaps something before that. Hallo, here comes Cayley."
