We heard the bushranger selected for the purpose, commence descending slowly, for the task was one of considerable difficulty, and required some caution.
"I explained to them that they were running a great risk, as I had heard that Darnley was in the neighborhood; but they only laughed at my warnings, and pointed to their long knives and smooth-bored guns, and intimated that the bushranger must be a bold man who dared to ask them to stand and deliver.
By nature a Bohemian, somehow made into a Yorkshire mill-owner; a strong, active, nobly featured man, who dressed as no one in the factory regions ever did before or probably ever will again his usual appearance suggesting the common notion of a bushranger; an artist to the core; a purchaser of pictures by unknown men who had a future at the sale of his collection three Robert Cheeles got into the hands of dealers, all of them now the boasted possessions of great galleries; a passionate lover of music he had been known to make the journey to Paris merely to hear Diodati sing; finally, in common rumour a profligate whom no prudent householder would admit to the society of his wife and daughters.
I made no further remonstrance against the course that Fred had marked out, but I inwardly dreaded to think that it was necessary to shed more human blood for the sake of preserving our lives. Nearer and nearer did the bushranger draw, and we could hear him mutter an oath at the difficult task that was assigned him.

Before we had time to answer that question, Maurice called the officer's attention, and relieved us of a reply.

'No, said Ted fearfully; and a simultaneous move was made towards the township. The boys were not cowards, but they had plenty of discretion.
Sam Redfern's revolver dropped from his nerveless fingers, but the next moment he had sprung upon the detective with the well-known activity of the mountain sheep, and Annie shrieked, for she had grown to love the rough Bushranger. A new slate is horrid till it is washed in milk. I like the green spots on them to draw patterns round.
"When I'm arraigned before my judges, I shall tell them of the blow," muttered the bushranger, wiping the blood from his brow. "Do so, if you think it will help your case any," answered Murden, indifferently.
