Mallett's strange and unexpected announcement. He paused, staring at her he knew well enough that when he stared other folk would stare too. So for a full moment the situation rested there stood Mrs. Mallett, resolute and unmoved, in the box, with every eye in the crowded court fixed full upon her, and Meeking still gazing at her intently and, of set purpose, half-incredulously.
Mallett was giving her evidence had observed that he showed signs of being by no means pleased at the turn things had taken since her sudden intervention sometimes he had frowned; once or twice he had muttered to himself. And he now looked blackly at Meeking as the barrister once more confronted him. "You have heard the evidence of the last witness?" asked Meeking abruptly.
Then he addressed himself to his witness and got the first facts from him Samuel Owthwaite. Mechanic. Employed by Green & Polford, Limited, of Clothford, agents for all the leading firms of typewriter manufacturers. "I believe you're a native of Hathelsborough, aren't you, Owthwaite?" began Meeking. "I am, sir." "Keep up your interest in the old place, eh?" "I do, sir."
And then, in this church of thoughts and desires, and in this onehead of studies and of wills, look that all thy thoughts, and all thy desires, and all thy studies, and all thy wills be only set in the love and the praising of this Lord Jesu, without forgetting, as far forth as thou mayst by grace, and as thy frailty will suffer; evermore meeking thee to prayer and to counsel, patiently abiding the will of our Lord, unto the time that thy mind be ravished above itself, to be fed with the fair food of angels in the beholding of God and ghostly things: so that it be fulfilled in thee that is written in the psalm: Ibi Benjamin adolesentulus in mentis excessu; that is: "There is Benjamin, the young child, in ravishing of mind."
So you were out of your rooms in the Moot Hall that evening from 7.30 to nearly eight o'clock?" "Yes, sir." Meeking gave the Coroner a glance, thrust his hands into his pockets, and dropped back into his seat silent and apparently satisfied.
He waved aside impatiently a protest from Wellesley, who seemed to be begging this voluntary witness to go back to her seat and say nothing, and, as Mrs. Mallett entered the witness-box, turned to Meeking. "Perhaps you'll be good enough to examine this witness," he said a little irritably. "These irregular interruptions! But let her say what she has to say." Mrs.
I shall not answer any question relating to them." "In that case, Dr. Wellesley, you will lay yourself open to whatever conclusions the jury chooses to make," said Meeking. "We have already heard Mrs. Saumarez say what she did say. But, as you won't answer, I will pass to another matter. You have already told us that the evidence of your assistant, Dr.
Spizey moved ponderously into the box in all the glory of his time-honoured livery. He looked very big, and very consequential, and unusually glum. Meeking, who was not a Hathelsborough man, glanced quizzingly at Spizey's grandeur and at the cocked hat which Spizey placed on the ledge before him. "Er you're some sort of a Corporation official, aren't you, Spizey?" he suggested.
Because there aren't twenty people in Hathelsborough who would buy such a book. Hathelsborough people don't care twopence about the history of their old town all they care about is money. This case is a proof!" "I think we'll get back to the case," said Meeking, amidst a ripple of laughter. "Well, we may consider you as the greatest living expert on Hathelsborough anyway, Dr.
"Who was the caller?" Wellesley drew his tall figure still more erect. "I refuse to say!" "Why?" "Because I am not going to drag in the name of my caller! The business my caller came upon was of a very private and confidential nature, and I am not going to break my rule of professional silence. I shall not give the name." Meeking again paused.
