They're the Askab's poisoners and pretty slick at it. They were sizing you up while you were having that little chat, doll. Probably not for a coffin this time. You were just getting the equivalent of a pretty thorough medical check-up. Presumably, though, for some sinister ultimate purpose." "How do you know?" Trigger asked, very uncomfortably.
"I had no idea that medical science could carry inquiries so far. I know that in criminal cases in London our pathologists, with their mirror-tests for arsenic, fix the guilt upon poisoners in a manner most amazing. But I have never heard of this secret and most subtle poison which was placed beside my bed, the intention being for me to tread upon the impregnated pin."
"I like the means well enough," said d'Artagnan, "but where and how to meet with her?" "Time, dear friend, time brings round opportunity; opportunity is the martingale of man. The more we have ventured the more we gain, when we know how to wait." "Yes; but to wait surrounded by assassins and poisoners." "Bah!" said Athos. "God has preserved us hitherto, God will preserve us still." "Yes, we.
The current now set so much in that direction that the multitude tore in pieces a tribune of the people who had ventured to postpone the return of Quintus Metellus, and the democrats began to seek their safety in league with murderers and poisoners ridding themselves, for example, of the hated Metellus by poison or even in league with the public enemy, several of them already taking refuge at the court of king Mithradates who was secretly preparing for war against Rome.
The other day a clergyman was taken before the courts for drunkenness, but I suppose you're not going to say all clergymen are drunkards. A doctor poisoned a patient by mistake, but surely we're not to class our dear medical men as poisoners and murderers on that account. It's just the same with any abnormal or extraordinary facts that set up a new theory for investigation.
The government used great vigilance to detect the poisoners, and suspicion at length fell upon a society of young wives, whose president appeared to be an old woman, who pretended to foretel future events, and who had often predicted very exactly the death of many persons.
My rustic pipe far better loved to sing of melodramatic poisoners and ubiquitous detectives; of fine houses in the West of London, and dark dens in the East. So the weekly chapter of my first novel ran merrily off my pen while the printer's boy waited in the farm-house kitchen. Happy, happy days, so near to memory, and yet so far.
These things are called charms, but they are in fact poisons: and those who administer them are actual poisoners, as has been proved by sundry experiences. In an unhappy moment Rodaja ate the quince, but had scarcely done so when he began to tremble from head to foot as if struck by apoplexy, remaining many hours before he could be brought to himself.
Something colorless that can be mixed with wine? Know you a safe poison, Galen?" "Aye irresolution!" Galen answered. "I will not be made a victim of it. Who shall aspire to the throne if Commodus dies?" "Pertinax!" Pertinax looked startled, stroking his beard, uncrossing his knees. "Then let Pertinax do his own work," said Galen. "Rome is full of poisoners, but hasn't Pertinax a sword?" "Aye.
Other little creatures are so darkened with pigment that we can see only their surface. Conspirators and poisoners are painted with black, beady-eyes and swarthy hue; Judas, in Leonardo's picture, is the model of them all.
