Before leaving town he took the precaution to call on Pash and note down a description of the sailor presumably Jessop who had tried to obtain possession of the jewels on the morning after the crime had been committed in Gwynne Street. He also had a scar running from his right temple to his mouth, and although this was partly concealed by a beard, yet it was distinctly visible.
Then, all at once, I heard steps coming along the deck, forrard, and the 'prentice, whose time-keeping it was, came up on to the fo'cas'le head. "The Second Mate says he can't see any light Jessop," he said, coming over to where I stood. "Whereabouts is it?" "I don't know," I answered. "I've lost sight of it myself. It was a green light, about a couple of points on the port bow.
My husband makes a point of taking them all in bad and good of every shade of politics. He believes it is only by hearing all sides that you can truly judge of the state of the country." "Just as a physician must hear all symptoms before he decides on the patient's case. At least, so our good old friend Doctor Jessop used to say." "Eh?" said Mr.
I was so feared," added Jessop, wiping his forehead at the recollection, "that I ran out of doors." "What good would that do?" "Lor', I dunno," confessed the man, shivering, "but I wos skeered out of my life. It wos rainin' pitchforks, as y'might say, and I raced on through the rain for an hour or so. Then I thought, as I wos innocent, I'd make tracks back, and I did. I found Krill had cut."
On arriving at the Doctor's house the two men carried her indoors; then bells rang, maid-servants hurried, exclaimed, and questioned; and soon the door of the library was closed upon all except Mrs. Jessop and the Doctor. The sergeant retired to the dining-room, and meditatively took an inventory of its furniture and appointments, as he awaited further developments.
Jessop is made Secretary to the Commissions of Parliament for Accounts, and I am glad, and it is pretty to see that all the Cavalier party were not able to find the Parliament nine Commissioners, or one Secretary, fit for the business. So he gone, I to read a little in my chamber, and so to bed. 20th.
She now came with half-dolorous, half-angry looks, to summon me to an interview with my father and Doctor Jessop. I caught her parting mutterings, as she marched behind me: "Kill or cure, indeed," "No more fit than a baby," "Abel Fletcher be clean mad," "Hope Thomas Jessop will speak out plain, and tell him so," and the like.
The first shell fell almost on the party, killing Colonel Jessop, the two orderlies, Bacchus and Blackham, and both horses. Colonel Jones was wounded in the hand, neck and thigh, fortunately not very seriously, though he had to be sent at once to England, having escaped death by little short of a miracle.
No, John no need for that start that rush of impetuous blood to thy poor thin cheek, as if there were but one woman in all the world. No, it was only Mrs. Jessop. At sight of him, standing up, tall, and gaunt, and pale, the good lady's eyes brimmed over. "You have been very ill, my poor boy! Forgive me but I am an old woman, you know. Lie down again."
At least, so Jael said; and she was a wise doctoress, and had cured many. He would have no one else to attend him seemed terrified at the mere mention of Dr. Jessop. I opposed him not at first, for well I knew, whatever the proximate cause of his sickness might be, its root was in that mental pang which no doctors could cure.
