Fearing that Bones was not to be scared from his purpose by one fright, he made a detour, got ahead of him, and prepared to receive him near the old well of an adjoining farm, which stood close by the road. When the burglar's footsteps became audible, he braced himself up. As Bones drew near Pax almost burst his little chest with an inhalation.
The bank robber discharged from gaol did not ask Colonel Boundary to finance him in the purchase of a new kit of tools an up-to date burglar's kit costs something over two hundred pounds but there were people who would lend the money, which eventually came out of the colonel's pocket. Some of the businesses he financed were on the border line of respectability.
