While Lord Winter was shutting the door, closing a shutter, and drawing a chair near to his sister-in-law’s armchair, milady was thoughtfully plunging her glance into the depths of possibility, and discovered the whole plot, not even a glimpse of which she could get so long as she was ignorant into whose hands she had fallen. She knew her brother-in-law was a worthy gentleman, a bold huntsman, an intrepid player, enterprising with women, but with less than average skill in intrigues. How could he have discovered her arrival and caused her to be seized? Why did he detain her?
Athos had indeed said some words which proved that the conversation she had had with the cardinal had fallen into others’ ears; but she could not suppose that he had dug a counter-mine so promptly and so boldly. She feared, rather, that her preceding operations in England had been discovered. Buckingham might have guessed that it was she who had cut off the two studs, and avenged himself for that little treachery.

What had made him alter all of a sudden - if, that is, he had altered? That was what Mrs. Bunting was always debating fitfully with herself; and, what was more, and very terribly, to the point, having altered, why should he not in time go back to what he evidently had been - that is, a blameless, quiet gentleman?
If only he would! If only he would!
As she stood in the hall, cooling her hot forehead, all these thoughts, these hopes and fears, jostled at lightning speed through her brain.
She remembered what young Chandler had said the other day - that there had never been, in the history of the world, so strange a murderer as The Avenger had proved himself to be.
She and Bunting, aye, and little Daisy too, had hung, fascinated, on Joe's words, as he had told them of other famous series of murders which had taken place in the past, not only in England but abroad - especially abroad.

致发射药燃烧产生的气体将塞子压向弹底,长杆顶住塞子,使迫击炮弹冲出炮口,此时,长杆顶部从炮弹后部的圆筒中退出,塞子卡住圆筒末端,使发射时产生的气体、烟雾、火焰都被封闭在炮弹尾部的金属筒内,所以在发射时,这种迫击炮无烟、无光、无声。这样在战斗中会成为一个可怕的隐蔽杀手。
几秒钟后爆炸声猛烈地在山谷里面回荡起来,远处的木板在炮声中被炸的粪碎,木板周围几十米处被炮弹炸的尘土飞扬,黄色的烟尘遮住了原来立着的靶子。微风吹拂,渐渐地让在场的所有人都感受到硝烟的气味。
赵刚拿着望远镜满意地望了望远处的靶子的方向,站了起来。
看到第一支真正迫击炮射击,自己还是十分震惊。要是这种便宜的利器装备了部队,那面对日本人还不得倒了血霉!
“天佑兄,这种迫击炮性能如何?”
“该炮口径52毫米,最大射程700米,高低射界84.5度,全炮重4.5千克,弹重0.75千克。其特点是结构简单、易携带,既可发射杀伤榴弹,又可发射照明弹及发烟弹。可以作为连级支持火力,在排级支持火力的测试中更远远强于重机枪、轻机枪以及37mm速射炮。”

"A man," said he, "must have a very good opinion of himself when he asks people to leave their own fireside, and encounter such a day as this, for the sake of coming to see him.

The folly of not allowing people to be comfortable at home--and the folly of people's not staying comfortably at home when they can! If we were obliged to go out such an evening as this, by any call of duty or business, what a hardship we should deem it;--and here are we, probably with rather thinner clothing than usual, setting forward voluntarily, without excuse, in defiance of the voice of nature, which tells man, in every thing given to his view or his feelings, to stay at home himself, and keep all under

Dear Mademoiselle,
I hope it will not be a shock to you to get this letter. I do not even know if your brother Edmund told you that we were married. He said he was going to do so. He was killed only a few days after our marriage and at the same time the Germans occupied our village. After the war ended, I decided that I would not write to you or approach you, though Edmund had told me to do so. But by then I had made a new life for myself, and it was not necessary. But now things have changed. For my son's sake I write this letter. He's your brother's son, you see, and I - I can no longer give him the advantages he ought t have. I am coming to England early next week. Will you let me know if I can come and see you? My address for letter is 126 Elvers Crescent, N.10. I hope again this will not be the great shock to you.
I remain with assurance of my excellent sentiments.

Martine Crackenthorpe Craddock was silent for a moment or two. He reread the letter carefully before handing it back.
"What did you do on receipt of this letter, Miss Crackenthorpe?"
"My brother-in-law, Bryan Eastley, happened to be staying with me at the time and I talked to him about it. Then I rang up my brother Harold in London and consulted him about it. Harold was rather sceptical about the whole thing and advised extreme caution. We must, he said, go carefully into this woman's credentials."

Marianne was in it, would not hear of their declining the offer upon her account; insisted on their both accepting it directly; and then began to forsee, with her usual cheerfulness, a variety of advantages that would accrue to them all from this separation.

You will be under the care of a motherly, good sort of woman, of whose kindness to you I can have no doubt. And in all probability you will see your brother; and whatever may be his faults, or the faults of his wife, when I consider whose son he is, I cannot bear to have you so wholly estranged from each other."
