Smith's former position, whether or no she was in truth a widow when she was living at Ahalala. Richard Shand had been at Ahalala, and must have known the truth. Caldigate might well declare that Richard Shand's presence was essential to his defence. There would and must be delay.
He also had been commissioned to seek for evidence, and to bring back with him, almost at any cost, whatever witness or witnesses he might find whose presence in England would serve Caldigate's cause. But he brought no one, and had learned very little. He too had been at Ahalala and at Nobble. At Nobble the people were now very full of the subject and were very much divided in opinion.
I wish I had you, Mr. Bolton, out at Ahalala, where there are not quite so many policemen as there are here at Cambridge. 'I shall have to send for one of them if you don't go away, Mr. Shand. 'Here's a man who, even for the sake of his own sister, won't hear the truth, just because he hates his sister's husband! What have I got to get by lying?
It was proposed that they should at once fix on a spot, 'peg out a claim, on some unoccupied piece of ground, buy for themselves a small tent, of which they were assured that they would find many for sale, and then begin to sink a hole. When they entered Ahalala, Caldigate was surprised to find that Mick was the most tired of the three. It is always so.
'Married Hester Bolton? I thought he would! Bigamy! Euphemia Smith! Married before! Certainly not at the diggings. 'He wasn't married up at Ahalala? asked the doctor. 'To Euphemia Smith? I was there when they quarrelled, and when she went into partnership with Crinkett. I am sure there was no such marriage. John Caldigate in prison for bigamy? And he paid them twenty thousand pounds?
And instead of working your hearts out, you can be just amusing yourselves about the country. Don't go to Ahalala; unless it is for dropping your money. If that's what you want, I won't say but Ahalala is as good a place as you'll find in the colony. Then he brought a bottle of whisky out of a cupboard, and treated them to a glass of grog apiece. Beyond that his hospitality did not go.
He's a sort of chum who, when he has a bottle of pickles, somebody else is sure to eat 'em. Ahalala isn't so bad. It's one of them chancy places, of course. You may and you mayn't, as I was a-saying before. When the great rush was on, I did uncommon well at Ahalala. I never was the man I was then. 'What became of it? asked Caldigate with a smile.
Caldigate, Ahalala, Nobble, which letter had been dated inside from Sydney, and which envelope bore the Sydney postmark. Caldigate's handwriting was peculiar, and the attorney declared that he could himself swear to it. The letter itself she also produced, but it told less than the envelope.
But I did tell her afterwards that I would marry her. 'Afterwards? 'Yes, when she followed me up to Ahalala. 'Did Richard Shand know her? 'Of course he did, on board the ship; and he was with me when she came to Ahalala. 'And she lived with you? 'Yes. 'And you promised to marry her? 'Yes. 'And was that all? 'I did not marry her, of course, said Caldigate. 'Who heard the promise?
While Dick Shand's 'shout' was being consumed, Caldigate asked one of his new friends where Mr. Crinkett lived. Was Mr. Crinkett known in Nobble? It seemed that Crinkett was very well known in Nobble indeed. If anybody had done well at Nobble, Mr. Crinkett had done well. He was the 'swell' of the place.
