If he ran away without murdering him, who did murder him?’ Here, I repeat, you have the whole logic of the prosecution. Who murdered him, if not he? There’s no one to put in his place. “Gentlemen of the jury, is that really so? Is it positively, actually true that there is no one else at all? We’ve heard the prosecutor count on his fingers all the persons who were in that house that night.
Kitty and Peter finished their waltz, one of the few round dances of the evening. "How perfectly you dance, Kitty! It’s a long time since we’ve had a waltz together." The cow-punchers looked at Kitty as if she were not quite flesh and blood.
But we’ve watched you. We know how you went to the Babylonian. We know your guilt. And now the good gods have stricken you mad and delivered you to justice.” She waved her bony fists in the prostrate man’s face. “Run, Phormio! don’t stand gaping like a magpie. Run, I say—” “Whither? For a physician?” “To Areopagus, fool! There’s where the constables have their camp. Bring ten men with fetters.
"Kitty, we were speaking a moment ago of Miss Rodney. You would like to know her, I’m sure. We’ve been such good friends all these years while you were deciding that what I wanted was not good for us—and deciding wisely, as I know now. Look at her! You’ll understand how she has helped me keep the balance of things. When she’s finished dancing you’ll let me bring her to you, won’t you?"
"We’ve piped this circuit into every channel in the system," the colonel said. "Every Planeteer in the Squadrons is listening, and rooting for you. Is there anything we can do?" "Yes, sir," Rip replied. "Do you know if Terra base has plotted our course this far?" There was a brief silence, then the colonel answered, "Yes, Foster.
"We’ll camp here ... in that shade." His gesture indicated some point beyond Drew’s range of vision. "They’re gonna be sniffin’ ’long right behind us," the sergeant said dubiously. "You’re forgettin’ we’ve got us sonny boy here!" Shannon loomed over Drew. "He’ll buy us out." "Maybe from Rennie—not from them Yankee troopers."
I’ll send the horses for you later. Propriety requires you to go to the Father Superior, Pyotr Alexandrovitch, to apologize for the disturbance we’ve been making....” “Is it true that you are going home? Aren’t you lying?” “Pyotr Alexandrovitch! How could I dare after what’s happened! Forgive me, gentlemen, I was carried away! And upset besides! And, indeed, I am ashamed.

We’ve got to get the man out again, and hand him back to his friends.” “Cured,” said Welsh, with a laugh. “I wonder how he is?” “We’ll soon see.” They fell silent again, while the train hurried nearer and nearer London town. Welsh seemed to be musing on some nice point, it might be of conscience, it might also conceivably be of a more practical texture.
"We’ve only seen two large ones, and they were too large." "Space is certainly full of junk," Rip commented. "At least this corner of it is full." A junior space officer overheard him.
