I saw the village police-sergeant come out of his cottage buckling his belt. 'But surely, said the woman at the harmonium, 'there must be some mistake. We are not suffragettes. 'Damn it! They'd be a change, cried the sexton. 'You get out of this! Don't talk! I can't stand it for one! Get right out, or we'll font you!
And looking round still further he became aware of an open door the door into which Miss Pett had withdrawn and of a bed within on which Kitely now lay, with Dr. Rockcliffe and the police-sergeant bending over him. The other policemen stood by the table in the living-room, and one of them the man who had picked up the pocket-book whispered audibly to Cotherstone as he and his companions entered.
The place was in charge of a police-sergeant, who watched my approach suspiciously; and some half-dozen men, obviously newspaper reporters, hovered about the entrance like a pack of jackals. I presented the coroner's order which Mr. Marchmont had obtained, and which the sergeant read with his back against the wall, to prevent the newspaper men from looking over his shoulder.
I chose the road to Salisbury, and after "blinding" for half an hour, I stopped and put on the false number-plates and license with which Rayne always provided me. It was as well that I did so, for in the gray morning as I went through Salisbury a police-sergeant and a constable hailed me just as I turned into St. John Street, near the White Hart, calling upon me to stop.
"Make way there! make way!" cried a police-sergeant, holding back the crowd, "and let the lady pass." Tressady did his best to push through with Lady Maxwell on his arm. But there was an angry hum of voices in front of him, an angry pressure round the doors. "We shall soon get a cab," he said, bending over her. "You are very tired, I fear. Please lean upon me."
It will have grown before they reach the Middlesex, short as the distance is. Then a police-sergeant, who joins them half-way, will take notes and probably go to find the child's parents; while Peter Jackson, chagrined at this hitch in his day's fire-eating, will go off Walworth way at the best speed he may, after handing over his charge to an indisputable House-Surgeon.
What the Dublin police-sergeant said of John Bull may also be said of the Ulsterman "He may have faults, but he Pays!" Funds for current purposes are readily forthcoming, £50,000 being already in hand, while promises of a whole year's income seem thick as autumnal leaves in Vallombrosa.
She ought to be here in a few minutes, and then you'll see if she's afraid." Ten minutes later Mary Drennan was shown into the room by the police-sergeant. The two men who were waiting for her received her kindly. "Sit down, Miss Drennan!" said Major Whiteley. "I'm very sorry to trouble you, and I'm very sorry to have to ask you to speak about a matter which must be painful to you.
I have always been a Liberal, but I confess that I entirely fail to understand the action the Government are taking in the present crisis. As Lord Dungory was about to reply that he did not believe that the peasants could continue to resist the Government indefinitely, the police-sergeant in charge of the picnic-party approached, his face overcast.
She was carried to her bed; and in less than ten minutes she was dead: she had never uttered another word. Henrietta and Mrs. Bertolle were kneeling by the side of the bed, and the count was sobbing in a corner of the room, when a police-sergeant entered. "The woman Brian is not to be found," he said; "but M. Elgin has been arrested. Where is the Countess Ville-Handry?"
