Excerpt from The Hampstead Mystery, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel
'Once for all,' exclaimed Mr Crampton, bringing down his broad fist heavily upon the table, 'once for all, I tell you, I will not have it.'
At this terrible assertion, Mrs Crampton shivered as if she had been struck, and Aunt Clem silently dissolved into tears. Henry Hindes, of all the party, alone preserved his composure. He leaned back in his chair, carefully trimming his filbert nails with a penknife, as if the affair under discussion were not of the slightest moment.
