FORE:He stood before the small switch panel, considering the problem.
FORE:Larry and Dick turned their eyes to Jeff.
FORE:Yes, sir, Larry responded. We saw that parachute the man in the seaplane had come down withthe harness was unbuckled, so he wasnt hurt in the drop. What I want to bring up is this: why did he desert the stunned pilotand not appear when we landed there?From the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle for several years little of striking interest occurred in the affairs of Britain. The public at first was rejoiced at the return of peace; but the more it looked into the results of so costly a war the more dissatisfied it grew, and the complaints were loud and general that Ministers had sacrificed the honour and interests of the nation. The Opposition, however, was at so low an ebb, that little was heard of the public discontent in Parliament; and Pitt, formerly so vociferous to denounce the war, now as boldly vindicated both it and the peace, and silenced all criticisms by his overmastering eloquence. The Government still went on granting subsidies to the German princes, though the war was at an end.
FORE:But that there should be a majority at all on such a question brought the Opposition to try an experiment which they had been for some time planning. This was the absurd scheme of seceding in a body from the House of Commons, on the plea that a paid and standing majority rendered all reason and argument nugatory. In the course of his farewell speech, Wyndham made use of such violent language, that Mr. Pelham jumped up to move the commitment of the honourable member to the Tower; but Walpole was too well aware that such a proceeding would only have served the ends of the Opposition, rendering them martyrs to their country's cause, and raising a vivid interest in their behalf. He therefore stopped him, and said that the measures which that gentleman and his friends might pursue gave him no uneasiness; on the contrary, the House was much obliged to them for pulling off the mask. Relieved of their presence, he now carried his measures in unopposed quiet.Its funny, Jeff remarked. This-here psychology Ive read about aint so far wrong when it says that folks who gets the wrong slant on a thing comes to believe it so strong that even the truth looks like a fib to them.
FORE:It was called! the detective showed a baffled face.
FORE:
FORE:No! Why should I?
FORE:Turning with a confidential air and addressing Dick, for whom he seemed to have the greater liking, Mr. Everdail spoke.
