"This rascal Howlman has informed upon the poor devil for spite," said the Commander; "here's a private note from Hayling to myself about the fellow." The lieutenant took the note and read "My dear Arness, Just a line on my own account. Be careful what you are doing in this business. The fellow who informed is a sort of hanger-on to the missionaries here.
Hon the hold King's birthday, Sir, when they all turned out with new arness and coaches fresh painted, and coachman and guard in new toggery, and four as beautiful bits of blood to each on 'em as was to be found in England, warn't it a sight to behold, Sir? The world could show nothin' like it, Sir. And to think they are past and gone, it makes one's eart hache.
Then Onund asked his shipmates, whether they would make for the west country, or take such as they had been told of; they chose to view the land first. So they sailed in up the bay, and brought to in a creek off Arness, then put forth a boat and rowed to land.
And I am sorry I have too much of a load to ask you to ride yourself. But where shall I leave the arness?" "At Greenleaf's store, at the river, if you will; for I conclude you are bound to Westminster, as well as the rest of us."
Thorgrim Greypate and his brothers had great possessions in common, nor did they divide the goods between them. Now Eric, who farmed at Arness, as is aforesaid, had to wife Alof, daughter of Ingolf, of Ingolfs-firth; and Flosi was the name of their son, a hopeful man, and of many friends.
"Young ladies, I don't 'old with givin' the 'orses nothin' while in 'arness and a-mussin' them up. They'll be a-slobberin' themselves a sight," expostulated Dawson. "But Miss Stewart's and Miss Howland's horses are not slobbered up," argued Natalie. "They've not got curb bits. Just them snaffles which is as good as none whatever," was Dawson's scornful criticism.
A boy o' Diamond's size as can 'arness a 'oss t'other Diamond's size, and put him to, right as a trivet if he do upset the keb 'll fall on his feet, ma'am." "But he won't upset the cab, will he, Jack?" "Not he, ma'am. Leastways he won't go for to do it." "I know as much as that myself. What do you mean?" "I mean he's a little likely to do it as the oldest man in the stable.
Now Thorgeir was head-man of the household of those brothers in Reekfirth, and would ever be rowing out a-fishing, because in those days were the firths full of fish; so those in the Creek made up their plot; a man there was, a house-carle of Flosi in Arness, called Thorfin, him Flosi sent for Thorgeir's head, and he went and hid himself in the boat-stand; that morning, Thorgeir got ready to row out to sea, and two men with him, one called Hamund, the other Brand.
He knew the contents of the letter, and recognised through its envelope the hard cardboard of the photograph of George Barcom enclosed therein. There was also a smaller note, addressed to Commander Arness by name, and marked, "Private letter." Five minutes later the Hannibal steamed through the passage, and shaped a course for Sydney. The Spitfire was steaming full speed E.S.E. from Levuka.
