Adela was herself the chief witness to its unearthly sweetness, and her testimony was confirmed by Edward Buxley, whose ear had likewise taken in the notes, though not on the same night, as the pair publicly proved by dates. Both declared that the voice belonged to an opera-singer or a spirit.
Sometimes, indeed, he riled me up to sitch an extent that there wasn't much pretence about it; but thank God! my hand has been held back." "Yes, thank God for that; and now I must go to him," said Betty, rising hastily and hurrying back to the Indian village. In a darkened tent, on a soft couch of deerskins, the dying form of Buxley, alias Stalker, lay extended.
They had been gone about two hours, when Stalker, alias Buxley, and his men arrived in an unenviable state of rage, for they had discovered Flinders's flight, had guessed its object, and now, after hastening to Bevan's Gully at top speed, had reached it to find the birds flown.
Like most large assemblies, this one was found so unmanageable, that, after an hour or two of hopeless wrangling, Buxley the tailor started up with dishevelled hair and glaring eyeballs, and uttered a yell that produced a momentary silence. Seizing the moment, he said "I moves that we apint a committee to inquire into the whole matter an' report."
"To be he ain't Prime Minister yet," growled Jabez Jenkins, who, being a secret ally of Hugh Morris, was one of the disaffected, and had, besides, a natural tendency to growl and object to everything. "He is Prime Minister," cried the fiery little Buxley, starting up and extending his hand with the air of one who is about to make a speech.
The earth seemed absolutely to roll, and one or two of the huts that had been carelessly built, fell asunder in partial ruin. "Where is my brother and the doctor?" demanded Pauline, running up to the group at the moment. "They're away up the mountain, with Joe and Otto," answered little Buxley; "I saw 'em start soon after daybreak to explore, they said."
"Hear, hear, and well said!" shouted a multitude of voices. "An' I moves," cried Mrs Lynch, starting forward with both arms up and all her fingers rampant, "that " "No, no, mother," interrupted Buxley, "you must second the motion." "Howld yer tongue, ye dirty spalpeen! Isn't it the second motion that I'm puttin'? I moves that the committee is Mr Dumnik Rig Gundy an' Dr Marsh "
Adela, for her part, looked sadly on Arabella, and longed to tell her, as she told Cornelia, that if she continued to play Freshfield Sumner purposely against Edward Buxley, she might lose both. Cornelia quietly measured accusations and judged impartially; her mind being too full to bring any personal observations to bear.
I wish that I were indeed your brother." "But you are my brother, Edwin Buxley," cried the girl with intense earnestness, "my dear and only brother, whom God will save through Jesus Christ?" "What do you mean, Betty?" asked Stalker, with an anxious and puzzled look. "I mean that I am not Betty Bevan. Paul Bevan has told me so told me that I am Betty Buxley, and your sister!"
The latter remark was made, with a hearty slap on the back, to little Buxley, who, turning at once and grasping Malone in his arms, went in for a vigorous wrestle by way of relieving his feelings.
