He'll declare he was within his rights, probably having bought Uncle Pete's share of the island through some dummy. You know, when deeds aren't recorded, it's mighty hard to establish them as valid. I know. I axed our town clerk. And he is one man that ain't under Blent's thumb." "I don't believe Mr.
At a tilted angle above them, a matched pair of black-haired, black-gowned young sirens sat at a small table, sipping their drinks, looking languidly around. "Twins," Trigger said. "No," said Quillan. "That's Blent and Company." "Oh?" "Blent's a lady of leisure and somewhat excessively narcissistic tendencies," he explained. He gave the matched pair another brief study.
"It's really the only way to be married," declared Cecily. "Well, for you people for you extraordinary Tristrams I dare say it is," said Mina. "You'll come?" Cecily implored. "She couldn't keep away," mocked Harry. "She's got to see the end of us." "Yes, and our new beginning. Oh, what Blent's going to be, Mina! If you don't come with us now, we won't let you stay at Merrion."
Rufus Blent's actions now seemed to prove the existence of such a box. He wanted to find it. But if the money and papers in the box had belonged to old Pete Tilton, surely Jerry, as his single living relative, should have the best right to the "treasure trove." How to thwart Blent was the question disturbing Ruth Fielding's mind.
"But sometimes they don't want to lose money any quicker than a poor man. If he's paid for the island " "I don't see how he can lose," declared Ruth, quickly. "If Blent has claimed a title that cannot be proved, Blent will have to lose." "I bet Mr. Tingley didn't buy without having the title searched," observed Jerry. "Blent's covered his tracks.
"I think Janie's rather fond of Mr Tristram, anyhow." This was simply a feeler on Mina's part. "Well, my dear, the position! Blent's been under a cloud though people don't seem to mind that much nowadays, to be sure. But the new Lady Tristram! They've always been the heads of the neighborhood. She'll have him, no doubt, but as for being in love with him well, could you, Madame Zabriska?"
"Go back," he said. "Go back to your chair. Go and sit there." With wonder in her eyes and a smile fresh-born on her lips she obeyed him. "Well?" she said. "You're very odd. But why?" "I'm marrying her for Blent's sake and I think she's marrying me for Blent's sake." "I call that horrible." "No." He sprang to his feet. "If Blent was yours, what would you do to keep it?"
It was later discovered that when Lem Daggett had opened the jail to Jerry, several of Blent's ruffians had rushed the boy to the railroad yard, put him aboard a moving freight, given a brakeman a two-dollar bill as per instructions from the real estate man, and Jerry wasn't likely to get off the train, unless he jumped while it was moving, until it was fifty miles farther west.
That is what Jerry has been looking for. And I wager that man Blent is afraid he will find it." "How romantic!" laughed Mrs. Tingley. "But, do wait till Mr. Tingley comes and let him decide," begged Ruth. "Surely. And I will tell Mr. Preston to refuse any of Blent's demands. He is a queer old fellow, I know.
