How came one of them to get into the barrel outside your stable before your return the next day ?" "I cannot say." "This barrel stood where ?" "In the passage behind the stable." "The passage you pass through on your way to the door leading into your neighbour's grounds ?" "Yes." The dreaded moment had come.

This "Yes" had no sooner left Arthur's lips than I saw Ella throw out her innocent arms, and leap impetuously to her feet, with a loud "No, no, I can tell--" She did not say what, for at the hubbub roused by this outbreak in open court, she fainted dead away and was carried out in her dismayed father's arms.
This necessarily caused a break in the proceedings.

Mr.Fox suspended his cross-examination and in a few minutes more, the judge adjourned the court.

As the prisoner rose and turned to pass out, I cast him a hurried glance to see what effect had been made upon him by this ingenuous outburst from one he had possibly just a little depreciated.

A great one, evidently.
