But of course there's an old place to keep up, and the death duties are very heavy. Very expensive thing having money left you in England, you know." Charlie Gordon turned to Pinnock. Tell her to stick to old Considine. That's what you ought to do." "Well, suppose you go and do it. You know the lady better than anyone here, seemingly.
"I don't wonder," said Considine; "it is too much to expect a black fellow smarting under the sjambok to forgive the man who applies it especially when it is applied unjustly, and with savage cruelty." Bertha was not gifted with an argumentative spirit.
It was a sunny morning of the kind that often gives a feeling of spring to the Devon winter, a morning full of promise. Considine had suggested that she should drive into Totnes and do some shopping before meeting the train from the Midlands, but she would not do so.
Angry bellowing now arose from the cattle, which were apparently horning one another such being their manner of greeting. Considine said, "There's a big lot there. Hope to blazes we can hold 'em. Are you ready, Mister?" "Yes, I'm ready," replied Carew. "Come on, then. We'll sneak up slowly at first, but once I start galloping let your horse go as fast as he likes, and trust him altogether.
But they shouted and searched in vain till night compelled them to desist. Meanwhile Van Dyk and Considine had been captured by the Bergenaars. When Charlie overtook the hunter, as already described, his ardent spirit and strong supple limbs enabled him to outrun his more massive though not less enthusiastic companion.

The activities of Considine were practically limited to his Sunday services, but though the softness of the climate might eventually have transformed him into a likeness of the ancient automaton who had preceded him, it was not in his nature to take things easily. He came of a vigorous stock.
From shearers' hut to artesian borers' camp, from artesian well to the opal-fields, from the opal-fields to a gold-rush, from the gold-rush to a mail-coach stable, he pursued this Considine, only to find that, in the words of the report, "the individual was not the same." Things looked hopeless for Mary Grant, when help came from an unexpected quarter.
When she came to think of it Arthur's whole behaviour during the holidays had been that of a youth who was in love. With all deference to Dr. Considine she felt that she couldn't pass the matter over. It was her plain duty to enquire into it, and find, if possible, a more obvious reason for this strange and sudden outburst.
At last it became evident that the only chance of overthrowing Peggy's case was to find Considine; but the earth seemed to have swallowed him up. The influence of the Chief of Police was brought to bear, and many a weary mile did the troopers of the Outer Back ride in search of the missing man.
