Alice could see, as well as if she were looking over their shoulders, that all the jurors were writing down "Stupid things!" on their slates, and she could even make out that one of them didn't know how to spell "stupid," and that he had to ask his neighbor to tell him. "A nice muddle their slates'll be in, before the trial's over!" thought Alice. One of the jurors had a pencil that squeaked.
"You're sweet on him, sis?" Elia said, with a gleam of fiendish satisfaction in his wonderful eyes. "I sent him," reiterated the woman, ignoring his question, and lost in her own misery. "Oh, Jim, Jim!" For a time at least the boy had quite forgotten his bodily sufferings. His enjoyment was monstrous, unholy. "Say, sis," he went on, "the trial's over. I've just come from there."
Here it was agreed after a mature consultation to destroy the Trial's prize, as well as the Carmelo and Carmen, whose fate had been before resolved on.
Their nature had not been altogether softened by civilization. The thought flung a useful light upon Flora's character. "If the trial's a lengthy one and these fellows hold him up until it's over, it will be a serious thing for George," he resumed, by way of implying that this was the worst that could befall his comrade.
Philip stood up, looked at his hat, and then came forward and laid down six and eightpence on the desk in a blushing, awkward way. 'Pooh! pooh! said Mr. Donkin, pushing the money away.

Your father tried to infuse her with courage, to gird her for the coming struggle to defend her own good name, but it was all of no use.
The Trial's prize was to continue on this station twenty-four days and if not joined by the Commodore at the expiration of that term, she was then to proceed down the coast to Pisco, or Nasca, where she would be certain to meet with Mr. Anson.
We plied into the bay with as much expedition as the wind, which then blew off shore, would permit us, and at eleven the Trial's boat came on board us, laden with dollars and church-plate; and the officer who commanded her informed us of the preceding night's transactions, such as we have already related them.
