"Has your honour forgotten, then? Sure, seven years is a poor limit for a good memory." The blow was a shrewd one, for Darius Boland knew that Phoenix Park must be a galling memory to his honour. But Darius did not care. He guessed why the governor was coming to Salem, and he could not shirk having his hand in it. He had no fear of the results. "Aye, seven years is a poor limit," he repeated.
But in the sand down there with all this wind " His eye turned to the shimmering white sandhills along the south, with the dust clouds high above them. "Boland, you'll have to give Carr your horse," said Pete. "It's his boy; and you're 'most dead anyhow. We'll light a big blaze when we find him, and another on this edge of the sandhills in case you don't see the first.
Boland. Thank you and good-bye!" "Good-bye!" said Boland, touching her hand. He looked after her as she went. "Plucky little devil!" he said. "Level and straight and square. Some girl!"
