Will's objection to so sudden a marriage was overruled by Bet's fervor and impetuosity; she would not listen to his objections, but every time he opened his lips shut him up with the emphatic remark, "It's now or never, sweetheart; ef it ain't to-night, something tells me as I'll never be wed to you."
If I take your money away from yuh, don't go and blame it onto me. Mebbe these fellers has got some cause to sidestep " "All right, the bet's on. And I won't blame you if I lose. Smoky's a good little horse. Don't think for a minute I'm giving you my hard earned coin. You'll have to throw up some dust to get it, old-timer. I forgot to say I'd like to make it a quarter dash."
It will do her good." Between Bet's bursts of laughter she managed to say, "Promise you won't talk about boys and love for a week at least, then I'll let you go." "Don't be as unreasonable as all that," protested Shirley. "She might live through twenty-four hours of it, but not much longer."
Any one else want in?... No?... Ready, Mr. Eyre. Now! Hep!" The heels clicked, but with a stuttering, weak impact. Eyre, bulky and powerful, staggered, toppled to the left. "Hold up there!" His neighbor propped him, and was clutched in his grasp. "Hands off!" said Eyre thickly. "Sorry, Banks! Let me try that again. Oh, the bet's yours, Mr.
Bet's father straightened up in bed and took the face of his daughter between his two hands. "I see that you are still troubled. There is someone you fear has been false. Is that it? Some friend?" "Yes, Dad." "But that's all the more reason why we should investigate and make sure about it." "Don't, Dad, please. I can't bear it." "Bet, dear, can you trust your father?
"I'm perfectly happy right here, I wouldn't have it different." Enid was gazing over the ranges of mountains that seemed to go on and on. It was half an hour later when the girls heard Bet's familiar call. "She's found the treasure!" whispered Enid. "You can hear the happiness in her voice." But the girls were mistaken. The group had searched high and low but nothing was in sight.
"I wouldn't like Bet to come back, and not see the little chap," she replied once to Mother Bunch, who was gazing at him with a very dubious look on her face. "Ef there ever was a good sister, Bet's the one; and I wouldn't like her to come here and see no captain and, for that matter, no general neither." "We'll pull him through," said Mother Bunch.
"I'll take care of that lass of yours, cousin; and she and me, we won't leave a stone unturned to find the man what 'as wronged you." Then Hester hastened off to Paradise Row, where she had first a long interview with Mother Bunch, and then found her way upstairs to Bet's room.
When he reached his lodgings he lit a candle, and, first carefully locking the door, and looking round him with his most sinister glance, he lifted a loose board under his bed, and took from the recess beneath a sailor's checked pocket handkerchief. He opened it, and spread out on the table about twelve sovereigns in shining gold. "Six for me," he said, "and six for Granger, the day as Bet's mine.
"Now, look you here, my love," said the Irishwoman, "you make what use you can of this yere arum," and she stretched out a most powerful, sinewy member for Bet's edification. "This arum shall come atween you and trouble, Bet Granger. You ask anybody round what they know of Mother Bunch, and a mimber such as this. You have no call to be fretted, honey, with this atween you and mischief.
