Gol darn his pictur'! Think o' bein' kicked by a bird an' havin' to be picked up an' carried off to be mended. We took a long, crooked trail hum an' walked all the way. It's kind o' hard footin'." Solomon spoke with the animation of a boy. At last he had found something in London which had pleased and excited him. "Did you have a good time at Sir Jeffrey's?" the young man asked.
We hear of Lord Palmerston's good-humoured elegance, Lord Lansdowne's amiability, Lord Jeffrey's brilliant conversation, and, most delightful of all, Lord Melbourne's frank, unaffected cordiality. Melbourne, it appears, enjoyed his sittings, for he asked many questions about Hazlitt, Leigh Hunt, Keats, and Shelley, and highly appreciated Haydon's anecdotes.
The fact that the deceased man's only brother should be the one person who knew where he was living was not a remarkable one, and it had been satisfactorily explained by the necessity of Jeffrey's finding a reference on applying for the chambers.
Jeffrey's watch fixed the moment of her death as accurately as was supposed, and I never heard the least doubt thrown out in this regard, he could not by any means of transit then known in Washington have reached Waverley Avenue in time to fire that shot.
As to the beads, judging by their number and the position in which we found some of them that crushed bugle, for instance they must have been dropped during Jeffrey's tenancy and probably quite recently." "What sort of garment do you suppose they came from?" I asked. "They may have been part of a beaded veil or the trimming of a dress, but the grouping rather suggests to me a tag of bead fringe.
But all the while she was debating her feet carried her to the only person she had known they would inevitably seek. She went directly upstairs to Jeffrey's room where he might be writing at that hour. He was there. His day's work had gone well. He was beginning to have the sense the writer sometimes has, in a fortunate hour, of divine intention in his task.
"Sir," said the mighty warrior, "dislodge those damn pests in the chimney, without delay." Two soldiers were ordered to climb the roof and dislodge the enemy. Yet the swallows were not dislodged, for the soldiers could not reach them. So Jeffrey's tirades were unavailing, and Wordsworth was not dislodged. "He might as well try to crush Skiddaw," said Southey. TO MR. BROOKFIELD September 16, 1849
"I have visited the old house many times during my sojourn in this little cottage. The last time was, as one of your number has so ably discovered on the most memorable night in its history; the one in which Mrs. Jeffrey's remarkable death occurred there.
Jeffrey's hand when you were married to her a little over a fortnight ago. You recognize it?" "I do." "Do you also recognize this small mark of blood on it as having been here when it was shown to you by the detective on your return from seeing her dead body at the Moore house?" "I do; yes." "How do you account for that spot and the slight injury made to her finger?
We now have to prove that John and Jeffrey were together in the chambers at New Inn on the night of Jeffrey's death. "We know that two persons, and two persons only, came from Kennington Lane to New Inn. But one of those persons was the tenant of New Inn that is, John Blackmore. Who was the other? Jeffrey is known by us to have been at Kennington Lane.
