At first, he had almost hoped he might do this, for the good land and the means of efficiently working it had been a great temptation.

The best connecting train and the earliest left the Pennsylvania Terminal at eleven. It was now but five. How could he wait? "Pietro," he said, "give me now Doctor Barrington's office.
He knew all about their pretty home in Orange, about Ned and the rabbits, Fritz, the bicycling, and the tennis playing, while they in their turn took the deepest interest in his country and Eton experiences. One morning Rex and our two boys went to Justice Barrington's chambers. There they expected to find Dr. Kingsley, but when they arrived only Jarvis, the solemn-faced old servitor, met them.
In New South Wales, no less than in every other country, obedience to lawful authority was proved to be the safest and best way, after all; nor could that way be forsaken with impunity. See Barrington's History of New South Wales, p. 171. See, too, another instance at p. 385.
