I scarcely knew whether or not it would be desirable to fall in with our fellow-creatures, remembering what Boxall had said about the natives; but still I thought that we might trust to the generosity and hospitality of the Arabs, and therefore should have felt no apprehensions had any appeared.
"He gives no excuse; sometimes he says the family is so large." "Nonsense! Girls cost nothing; there's only Frank, and he can't have cost anything yet. Can he be saving money to buy back Boxall Hill?" "Oh no!" said the Lady Arabella, quickly. "He is not saving anything; he never did, and never will save, though he is so stingy to me. He is hard pushed for money, I know that."
The Arabs, being thus deceived, believed that there was no necessity for watching him, and gave him over without hesitation into Ben's charge. Now, as I had left the camp secretly, it was not known by the people generally, and especially by the women, that I was absent, and Ben calculated rightly that Boxall would be mistaken for me.
"That monster of a hyena must have been here; and I am afraid the brute has not even left us enough for breakfast." We hurried on, and speedily joined in the search. "Here is a piece, fortunately, jammed between the staves," said Halliday, dragging forth the remnant of a joint of pork. "We may be thankful to get even that," said Boxall.
She was fully enabled now to do so, for Dr Fillgrave was already reinstalled at Greshamsbury as her medical adviser. One other short visit did Frank pay to Boxall Hill, and one interview had he with Dr Thorne.
In his worst fits of disreputable living he was ashamed to apply to his guardian for money; and in his worst fits of illness he was, through fear, somewhat patient under his doctor's hands; but just at present he had nothing of which to be ashamed, and was not at all patient. "Doctor," said he, one day, at Boxall Hill "how about those Greshamsbury title-deeds?"
We set to work with our knives, but soon found that we could throw out the sand more rapidly with our hands than with these. We worked away, eagerly scraping out the sand. The roots ran very deep. "This is a most encouraging sign," said Boxall. "Observe how much cooler the sand is here than at the top."
"MY DEAR TROLLOPE, I am just returned from a long excursion with Boxall to Arezzo, Cortona, Borgo San Sepolcro, Citt
"See! the morning is breaking the clouds overhead are already tinged with the sun's rays; a breeze, too, has sprung up: let us hope that before long one of our own cruisers or some African trader may sight us and take us on board." Fortunately Boxall and I had had supper, and could hold out longer than our companions.
"Hold fast! hold fast!" again shouted Boxall, "and we shall be carried safely through." The breakers did not appear so high as they had done a little way off, and we all had hopes that Boxall's predictions would prove correct. But we had not much time for thinking; my head whirled and I felt giddy as I looked at the tumbling, foaming waters surrounding us.
