The smaller ones filled up the intervening spaces between them. Behind the thicket-clad sandhills of the Kowie and Green Fountain, and extending over the low plains beyond Bathurst, were the locations of Cock's, Thornhill's, Ostler's, Smith's, and Richardson's parties. Skirting the wooded Kloofs from Bathurst towards the banks of the Klienemonden, were ranged the parties of James and Hyman.
Magee drew on his clothes, the mayor and Max sat thoughtfully before the fire, the former with his pudgy hands folded over the vast expanse where no breakfast reposed. Mr. Magee explained to them that the holder of the sixth key had arrived. "A handsome young lady," he remarked; "her name is Myra Thornhill." "Old Henry Thornhill's daughter," reflected the mayor.
I prevailed on your wife to join in the deceit, and we have not had a fit opportunity of undeceiving you till now. In the whole assembly now there only appeared two faces that did not glow with transport. Mr Thornhill's assurance had entirely forsaken him: he now saw the gulph of infamy and want before him, and trembled to take the plunge.
"Next time," Barbara raised her voice to top the hum of the engine. "I'm only here for over night, now, and I'm going down to Mrs. Thornhill's."
I don't know which gun killed her, but parts of the town and river hitherto safe were to-day exposed to fire from the 6 in. gun which was removed from Middle Hill a few days ago, and is now set up on Thornhill's farm, due west of the town.

"As like as life, Sir," observed Austin, peeping over Thornhill's shoulder at the portrait. "As like as life." "The very face," exclaimed Gay, advancing to look at it; "with all the escapes written in it."
The guns had breached a new epaulement on Thornhill's Kop to the left of Surprise Hill and a few hundred yards nearer and perhaps knocked over a Boer or two, perhaps not. None of our people hurt, and a good appetite for breakfast. In the afternoon one of our guns on Cæsar's Camp smashed a pompom. Fiddling Jimmy has been waved away, it seems.
Hogarth had become possessed of his father-in-law Sir James Thornhill's furniture, which he was willing to lend to an association of artists founding a new school; a subscription was accordingly arranged, and a room 'large enough to admit of thirty or forty persons drawing after a naked figure, was hired in the house of Mr. Hyde, a painter in Greyhound Court, Arundel Street, Strand.
Thornhill's evidence in mind, the police, or the Public Prosecutor, or the Treasury, or whoever it is that decides those things, will never attempt in this case to bring any one to trial for the murder on merely circumstantial evidence." "Do you think not?" she said in a tone of relief. "I'm sure of it," said Mr. Manley.
The butler, who was now become my friend in the family, informed me with a whisper, that the 'Squire had already made some overtures to Miss Wilmot, and that her aunt and uncle seemed highly to approve the match. Upon Mr Thornhill's entering, he seemed, at seeing my son and me, to start back; but I readily imputed that to surprize, and not displeasure.
