Perhaps the most dramatically tragic of all the events after the defeat of Charles Stuart are connected with the fate of those of his adherents who were taken prisoners, and who were of too grave an importance to be put to the sword at once or hanged out of hand.

"I'm awfully busy for the next while . . . " He sighed dramatically. "I'll just have to go myself. Maybe when I get back from Florida?" "Give me a call," she said. They left, as usual, in opposite directions on Kapahulu Avenue. She was like a figure on a Japanese fan, slowly unfolding, then snapped shut. Let it be, he thought.
An hour after the trial Crewe entered the chambers of Mr. Walters, K.C. "I congratulate you on the way you handled him in the witness-box," said Crewe, who was warmly welcomed by the barrister. "You did splendidly to get it all out of him and so dramatically too." "I think it is you who deserves all the congratulations," replied Walters.
Herkimer began to speak of one thing and another, of Bennett, who had gone dramatically to the Transvaal; of Le Gage, who was now in the forefront of the younger group of landscapists; of the old types that still came faithfully to the Café des Lilacs, the old chess-players, the fat proprietor, with his fat wife and three fat children who dined there regularly every Sunday, of the new revolutionary ideas among the younger men that were beginning to assert themselves.
