Many of the highly respectable jurymen had served the dead man with provisions — butter, cheese, and the like — and thought it rather a liberty to sit upon him at all. Others were indifferent, and others too stupid, and others much too clever, attributing the lamented gentleman's demise to most astonishing and conflictinsr abnormal causes, rans^ino; from sun- stroke to spontaneous combustion. The man was dead, however, and all the respectable juries in the world could not bring him to life "CRO...WNERS QUEST. 155 Mr. Fleem, F.R.O.S., sat at the head of the jury table, and at the right hand of the Coroner, as was meet to a man whom that functionary delighted to honour. Mr. Fleem told his story, which did not add much to any- body's information. He had found Mr. Falcon dead. He had opened the body, and found nothing in it; nothing of a deleterious charac- ter, at least. Yes; the brain teas congested slightly. Apoplexy? Well, he should say that the tissues — and here the learned Fleem proceeded to bewilder the jury with such an extent of erudition, commencing at tissues ^nd ending nowhere, that the highly respectable jur}^ made haste to return a verdict of " Death from natural causes," and to get out of the house, which had already that mysterious closeness and leaden oppression in its atmos- phere, which hangs about every dwelling where Death is.
