"There's Bradley, now; he never has any domestic woes of this sort, and he pays just half what we do for his servants." "Oh, Mr. Bradley. I don't like him!" ejaculated Bessie. "You are always talking about Mr. Bradley, as if he had an automaton for a servant." "No, I don't say he has an automaton," returned Thaddeus. "Automatons don't often work, and Bradley's jewel does.
I wondered why you told Bradley we were going out! I had no idea that you knew so much about the case." "Bradley knew that I knew the boy to be an imposter," Ned went on. "He intended we should make the discovery in time after he had watched the grandson for a few days, sized up the situation generally, and dropped out of sight.
But Dragley was able to hinder all this by keeping the door locked. An attack on relics was begun in 1538, and it was probably about this date that the shrine of St. Wilfrid was destroyed. In 1539 came the suppression of Fountains Abbey, the abbot who surrendered it being no other than Marmaduke Bradley.
"It seems," he went on, "that the counterfeiters blame us for what took place last night, and want us to leave the district. If we do they will send the boy out to us unharmed, at least that is what they promise." "I don't see how they can blame you for the trouble of last night," Bradley said, and Ned caught a tone of irony in his voice.
After taking stock of himself and finding that he still had his pistol and ammunition, some matches, a little tobacco, a canteen full of water and a razor, Bradley made himself comfortable upon the mat and was soon asleep, knowing that an attempted escape in the darkness without knowledge of his surroundings would be predoomed to failure.
It was not that she was naturally given to playing the spy it was not that she was at all secret, plotting, or mean it was simply that she loved the irresponsive Bradley with all the primitive and homely stock of love that had never been examined or certificated out of her.
As they led Bradley away, he caught an opportunity to glance back toward the hides to see what had become of the girl, and, to his gratification, he discovered that she still lay concealed beneath the hides. He wondered if she would have the nerve to attempt the river trip alone and regretted that now he could not accompany her.
As we could not afford to lose the animals, José and Horry were despatched lo look after them, and they grumbled not a little at being thus sent off from the scene of golden operations; but Bradley, producing a rifle, swore that he would shoot them both unless they obeyed orders; so, after a little altercation, away they went.
It was on Thursday night that we adopted the final determination of moving off from our late quarters; and, accordingly, next day I walked with Bradley and McPhail through the diggings, to try to find purchasers for our cradles. This was not a difficult task.
And, Bradley look here I didn't like to be anything but plain before that fellow; but I don't mind telling YOU, now that it's all over, that I really think Louise Miss Macy didn't altogether understand me either." With another shake of the hand they separated for the night. For a long time after Mainwaring had gone, Bradley remained gazing thoughtfully into the Great Canyon.
