Dupee discussed and described the condition in which he had lived up to about two years ago. The speaker was, it appeared, a fellow-townsman of Bendigo's, and his recollection of him went back for nearly forty years, at which time his state was so bad that Mr. Dupee, then a lad, used to walk behind him through the streets of Nottingham praying that he might be forgiven.
"There has been mention made of Mr. Bendigo's log. He kept a careful diary so it was reported. I should like to have that book, Albert, for in your statement you tell me that you preserved it." "I did and it is here," replied his friend. "That and dear Bendigo's 'Bible, as I call it a copy of 'Moby Dick' I brought away. As yet I have not consulted the diary it was too intimate and distressed me.
"A pretty business it would be if I wasn't," replied Mossrose, doggedly. "Come, ma'am," says he, "I'll tell you vat I do: I take fifty per shent; not a farthing less give me that, and out your husband goes." "Oh, sir, Howard will pay you in a week." "Vell, den, let him stop at my uncle Bendigo's for a week, and come out den he's very comfortable there," said Shylock with a grin.
Dupee again appeared at the desk and said they would sing a verse of a hymn, after which Bendigo would address them, and the plate would be handed round for a collection to cover the cost of the bills and of Bendigo's travelling expenses.
He sent the uncaring gig away, laid his arm across Bendigo's neck, and his cheek against Bendigo's cheek. Then he whispered a few words in his ear and leaped into the saddle as only a Yorkshireman or a gypsy can leap, and Bendigo, thrilling with delight, carried his master swiftly away from the gig and its driver, neighing with triumph as he passed them.
At the outset of his new career Bendigo's enthusiasm was somewhat misdirected, as was manifested at an infidel meeting he attended in company with his sponsor. "Who's them chaps on the platform?" said Bendigo to Jim. "Infidels," said Jim. "What's that?" queried Bendigo. "Why, fellows as don't believe in God or the devil."
Needn't ask if you found Bendigo's diary, because I am dead sure you did not." "I didn't. I directed Jenny to have a hunt and she invited me to help her. For the rest I have seen Robert Redmayne, for we may safely speak of the unknown by that name, and I have come to a very definite conclusion concerning Giuseppe Doria and the unfortunate woman who is at present his wife."
Bendigo's lock-up house, he summoned that gentleman in a very haughty way, took a blank banker's cheque out of his pocket-book, and filling it up for the exact sum of the writ, orders Mr. Bendigo forthwith to open the door and let him go forth. Mr. Bendigo, smiling with exceeding archness, and putting a finger covered all over with diamond rings to his extremely aquiline nose, inquired of Mr.
Beneath the cliffs a big sea rolled, but it was fast going down. Any suspicion that the inhabitants of Bendigo's home were seeking to create false impressions left Brendon's mind, when he stood before Jenny and her uncle. The former was nervous and the latter beyond measure puzzled.
Pete Quigley had two or three hard-won battles to his credit, and it was thought there was no man on the field so hard to handle, with the exception of Ben Kyley, whose showing against a professional of Bendigo's calibre set him on a plane above the mere amateur. Pete confessed himself beaten without equivocation. 'I ain't got any patience with this blanky new fangled style o' fightin', he said.
