We had 370 Pounds in notes and gold, a biggish bag of silver, a lot of cheques some of which would be sure to be paid seven gold watches and a lot of silver ones, some pretty good. Mrs. Buxter's watch was a real beauty, with a stunning chain. Starlight said he should like to keep it himself, and then I knew Bella Barnes was in for a present.
Dad was outside, seeing the horses fed, with Warrigal. We made sure at first it was Mrs. Buxter's watch and chain; but he knew better than to give the girl anything that she could be brought into trouble for wearing, if it was identified on her; so he'd sent the cash down to Sydney, and got the watch sent up to him by one of father's pals.
The plump lady had a gold watch with a chain and purse to match. 'Is that all? says he, trying to speak stern. 'It's my very all, says the girl, 'five pounds. Mother gave me her watch, and I shall have no money to take me to Bowning, where I am going to a situation. Her lips shook and trembled and the tears came into her eyes. Starlight carefully handed Mrs. Buxter's watch and purse to Jim.
