"It is argued on the part of the defendant that Miss Smithers is, for the purposes of this case a document, a document, and nothing but a document, and as such that her mouth is shut. Now, I think that the learned Attorney-General cannot have thought this matter out when he came to that conclusion. What are the circumstances?
Accordingly, he went out walking, and meeting a clerk whom he had known in the Meeson establishment one of those who had been discharged on the same day as himself he obtained from him Miss Smithers' address, and began to reflect as to whether or no he should call upon her.
Miss Jemima Smithers, I mean; what on earth are you doing here?" "I am going to New Zealand, Mr. Meeson," she answered sharply; "and I certainly did not expect to have the pleasure of your company on the voyage." "Going to New Zealand," he said, "are you? Why, so am I; at least, I am going there first, then to Australia. What do you mean to do there try and run round our little agreement, eh?
"There, keep a sharp lookout, and only fire when you are sure," said Archie as he made for the door, striking against the bamboo shaft of the spear. "This didn't graze you, did it, Smithers?" "No, sir. I was afraid you had got a touch by your whipping out your pistol so quickly. But please, sir, don't tell my missus to go into shelter.
Potter and Smithers lived on credit, for a quarter, as best they might; and, although the prosecutors expressed their readiness to be assaulted twice a week, on the same terms, they have never since been detected in ‘making a night of it.’
Smithers kindly gave this room to me so that I might be near you; that is, if, as I suppose, you are Lady Jane McPherson?" and she looked steadily at her visitor, who with a slight bridling of her long neck, bowed in the affirmative, never doubting that the young person before her was fully her equal, notwithstanding the plainness of her dress, every detail of which she took in at a glance and mentally pronounced perfect.
Drowned at sea or something of that sort?" said Smithers, indifferently. "Yes," said Potts. "Are you familiar with the banking business?" asked Smithers, suddenly. "Well, no, not very. I haven't had much experience; but I'm growing into it." "Ah! I suppose your directors are good business men?" "Somewhat; but the fact is, I trust a good deal to my cashier." "Who is he?"
Among others, Private Gray was ready to aid in this way, after vainly trying to handle a spade, a task rendered impossible by his wound. He was hard at work over his work, carrying basketful after basketful with one hand, when Captain Smithers came up, saw how he was striving, and stood looking on for a few moments. "We shall have to put off your court-martial yet, Gray," he said grimly.
The visit was but short, for at the end of a few minutes Captain Horton accompanied the sultan on board the naga, and the long low vessel was swiftly turned, and rowed with no little skill to the island landing-place, where a sufficiently imposing military force, under Captain Smithers, was ready to receive him, the sultan walking up to the residency verandah, between a double line of infantry with bayonets fixed.
Maybe we shall see it clearly as we gets better; but it looks to me as if it's his doing, out of spite, like, for our interfering with him when he came that night and Joe Smithers arrested him and gave the alarm." "Perhaps so," said Archie. "My head's going wrong again. I can't think." "Then you take my advice, sir: don't you try.
