"Are are we all right?" stammered Ned. "Bless my soul! What has happened?" cried Mr. Damon. "We've been struck by lightning!" Tom repeated. "I don't know whether we're all right or not." "We seem to be falling!" exclaimed Lieutenant Marbury. "If the whole gas bag isn't ripped to pieces we're lucky," commented Jerry Mound. Indeed, it was evident that the Mars was sinking rapidly.
Aylmore, having been sworn, and asked a question or two by the Coroner, requested permission to tell, in his own way, what he knew of the dead man and of this sad affair; and having received that permission, he went on in a calm, unimpassioned manner to repeat precisely what he had told Spargo. It sounded a very plain, ordinary story. He had known Marbury many years ago.
'I dare say that was what I had in my mind, hearing Mr. Mattock and Mr. Rockney agree to walk in company to their clubs. He proposed to them that they should delay the march on a visit to his cabin near the clouds. They were forced to decline his invitation to the gentle lion's mouth; as did Mr. Rumford, very briskly and thankfully. Mr. Rockney was taken away by Mr. and Mrs. Marbury Dyke.
That night I came home very late it was well past one o'clock. There was nobody about as a matter of fact, no one has residential chambers in that building but Cardlestone and myself. I found the body of a man lying in the entry. I struck a match and immediately recognized my visitor of the afternoon John Marbury.
The breach between the President and the Chief Justice was widened by some of the early decisions of the latter upholding the supremacy of the National Government and the powers of the Supreme Court, notably the famous case of Marbury v. Madison, in which was asserted the power of the Court to declare an act of Congress void as in conflict with the Constitution.

"He's an old lag an ex-convict. Served his time partly at Dartmoor. That, of course, is where he met Maitland or Marbury. D'ye see? Clear as noontide now, Spargo." Spargo sat drumming his fingers on the desk before him.
Miss Hackstaff you wrote that letter it is your hand for revenge on Miss Langdale and " "You shan't have him!" almost hissed Helen Hackstaff. "If I cannot no one shall!" Natalie Langdale faced her, defiant. "You are a jealous, suspicious person," she cried. "Doctor Aitken knows " "One moment," interrupted Craig. "Mrs. Marbury is gone. Mrs. Wardlaw is weakened.
What chattering and gabbling there was that first morning at breakfast, when all sorts of plans were projected for the summer's amusement! Mrs. Somers and her children had spent most of the warm weather at Marbury, for years, so that Will, and Archie, and Edna knew every inch of the country for miles around, and were eager to do the honours.
Cricket, forgetting her own precarious position, involuntarily gave a little grasp after him, thus losing her own hold, lost her balance, and over she went, and if she had fallen that fifteen feet to the hard ground below, it might have brought to a sudden end her summer at Marbury.
"And I suppose you think Doctor Studdiford could find twenty wives as pretty and clever and charming as you are, Ju?" "Fifty!" Julia answered. "Well, now, that just shows what a little idiot you are!" Mrs. Marbury scolded. "Not but what most women feel that way sooner or later," she added, less severely.
