---------------
I shallwant a matter of five pound of you before I begin, ha! ha! ha!'It being decided by the committee that the five pound might be advanced,Mr. Weller produced that sum; after which, a long consultationabout nothing particular took place, in the course whereof Mr. Pelldemonstrated to the perfect satisfaction of the gentlemen who saw fair,that unless the management of the business had been intrusted to him, itmust all have gone wrong, for reasons not clearly made out, but no doubtsufficient.<>
---------------
Overtake him; bringhim back instantly! Mr. Weller--here--come back!'Sam saw that his master's injunctions were not to be disobeyed; and,catching his father by the arm as he was descending the stairs, draggedhim back by main force.<>
---------------
What did you think of hermanners, from what you saw of her?Wery pleasant,' rejoined Mr. Weller.<>
---------------
I ama hasty fellow, and when I saw you last, I was vexed and taken bysurprise.<>
---------------
I determined on retiring to some quiet, pretty neighbourhood in thevicinity of London; I saw a house which exactly suited my fancy; I havetaken it and furnished it.<>
---------------
In that cup, as in a red mirror, he saw manythings; the doings of his last days moved in crimson shadows; theexamples that his companions demanded danced in symbolic shapes; andthere passed before him all the stories that are told here.<>
---------------
(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) A moment after Underhill saw what he had seen.<>
---------------
(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) Underhill did not know how long he stood staring down at this macabrefigure, when he looked up and saw a group of four figures standing abovehim on the bank.<>
---------------
"The truth is, that whenI came in at the front door I saw something I don't think any of therest of you have seen.<>
---------------
"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "What did you see?"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "I saw a sort of general smash-up," said Father Brown in his mildvoice.<>
---------------
"If you saw that, itcertainly looks as if it had something to do with it.<>
---------------
Everythingcame back to the enigma of those two empty hours between the time whenBuller saw Orm going in at the garden gate, and the time when FatherBrown found him apparently still lingering in the garden.<>
---------------
"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "He was a friend of poor Gwynne's, as a matter of fact," said Underhill,more gently; "a man I know saw them hobnobbing together after a greatlegal dinner lately.<>
---------------
Itseemed to them like a new proof of their own existence when they saw thename in print.<>
---------------
It only remains for me to say that aservant up at Beechwood House told me that she had seen a face at one ofthe windows----"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "I saw a face," said Opal, "at one of our windows.<>
---------------
(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) For a moment they all saw something--something that cleared the lady ofthe charges of lying and hysteria not uncommonly brought against her.<>
---------------
Then they moved to one side and, the others saw the small, wiryfigure lying slightly twisted, as if with its last struggle.<>
---------------
And when I saw him lying there dead inthe garden, it seemed to me as if certain strange words that were saidof old were spoken over him aloud in my ear.<>
---------------
Then I had a belatedgleam of sense when I saw the beard and goggles and remembered the thiefhad come in another beard with other goggles.<>
---------------
"How the devil could they?"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "Let us go back," said Father Brown, "and look at the thing throughanother window--the window through which the young lady saw the ghost.<>
---------------
Then the beggar said in his silveryvoice: 'What is outside and what is inside?' And the soldier, stillglaring through the same bars, saw that they were once more between himand the street, where the beggar stood free and smiling with a paper inhis hand.<>
---------------
And when Boyle and Jameson,awaiting his return from the tete-a-tete, at length saw the dooropen and their employer reappear, he was carrying the great glass bowlas reverently as it if had been the relic of a saint.<>
---------------
(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) Over the land and over the seaMy flying fishes will come to me,For the note is not of the world that wakes them,But in----He struggled to his feet and saw that his fellow-guardian was alreadyout of bed; Jameson was peering out of the long window on to the balconyand calling out sharply to someone in the street below.<>
---------------
It was a strangeand outlandish thing that you saw when you looked down at this road.<>
---------------
Isuppose it never occurred to you to consider what he saw when he lookedup at that balcony?"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) Boyle was staring at the balcony and did not answer, and the otheradded:"You thought it very wild and wonderful that an Arab should come throughcivilized England with bare feet.<>
---------------
He turned away, but Father Brown continued to blink steadily for a fewseconds in the direction of the manager's wife, and saw that her wanface wore a faint smile; not altogether a cheerful smile.<>
---------------
Idon't even know how she comes there, since it isn't down the passage tothe door; but I think I once saw a veiled or cloaked figure passing outinto the twilight at the back of the theatre, like a ghost.<>
---------------
But they saw nobody on the roadreturning; indeed, there was nobody in sight except the one other guestat the house, a certain Dr.<>
---------------
(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "I think you and Dalmon can testify," he said, "that you saw me sittingthere through your whole journey there and back.<>
---------------
"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "Prepared for what?" asked the other"Only for the most horrible thing I ever saw in my life," said FatherBrown.<>
---------------
But you saw Vaudrey come out, and it isn't very probable that hestood in the outer shop while the butcher said: 'Good morning.<>
---------------
Butcountry tobacconists very often do one odd job extra, that I neverthought of till I saw Vaudrey's chin.<>
---------------
"When we found the body, you remember, we saw the face upside down; andyou said it looked like the face of a fiend.<>
---------------
Has it occurred to you thatthe murderer also saw the face upside down, coming behind the barber'schair?"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "But that's all morbid extravagance," remonstrated his companion.<>
---------------
"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) Evan Smith, deadly pale, was silent; and, far away, down the perspectiveof the road, they saw the large figure and wide hat of Dr.<>
---------------
Nevertheless, he saw some people he knew and a numberof people he did not know, including some that, as a mere matter oftaste, he did not much want to know.<>
---------------
Yet he continued to gaze,for some reason, until he reached the point of feeling that theappearance of anybody would be an agreeable contrast It was thereforewith a certain relief, though with a slight start as of awakening, thathe turned at the sound of his name and saw another face that he knew.<>
---------------
"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) She paused a moment, and then went on firmly: "I came here quite early,and saw him sitting quite alone in the middle of that gallery with thenew pictures, that was quite empty then.<>
---------------
Father Brown looked round as under anadvancing shadow of premonition; and he saw the lowering, almost lividface of the large woman in scarlet under its leonine yellow hair.<>
---------------
Shealways stood with a slight stoop, like a bull lowering its horns, andthe expression of her pale pasty face was so oppressive and hypnoticthat they hardly saw the little man with the large beard standing besideher.<>
---------------
I ought to have guessed it when I first went in and saw thething standing there.<>
---------------
"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) '"When you saw what?" asked Granby impatiently.<>
---------------
(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "When I saw there was only one suit of armour," answered Father Brown.<>
---------------
I saw the marksof two feet sunk so deep into the solid bank I was sure that the man waseither very heavy or was carrying something very heavy.<>
---------------
Andwhen I saw that, I suddenly saw a picture that told the whole story.<>
---------------
When I saw that fancy picture of the black figure with the greyhair taking a flying leap across the moat I knew instantly that it was ayoung man dressed up as an old man.<>
---------------
"(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) And he glanced across at the opalescent eyes and smiling bearded mouthof the Master, and saw that the smile was just a shade broader.<>
---------------
(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "I know it because I saw it," answered Outram stolidly.<>
---------------
"I was JamesMair's second, and I saw Maurice Mair shot dead on the sands before myvery eyes.<>
---------------
I saw himbut for a flash as he leapt on his horse and went thundering away to thescene of death, leaving me far behind.<>
---------------
(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "But I tell you I saw the duel!" cried the general.<>
---------------
(Chesterton The secret of father Brown ) "For instance, it seemed obvious to say that the revolutionary poet hadkilled the old judge who saw red about red revolutionaries.<>
