Eccentric in some ways, as Freda's grandfather had been, he might have hidden the papers in Denny's cabin. That was a new thought. Perhaps the scheming men knew this, and that is why they wanted to attack the old fisherman. "We simply must go to his cabin," decided Cora, "and find out what has happened. I can't wait any longer." Wraps were quickly donned, and down to the dock went the girls.
We heard suddenly the rush of feet; shots whistled over our heads; we had but just time to drop the rope and turn round when Denny's rifle rang out, and then somebody was at us! I really do not know exactly how many there were. I had two at me, but by great good luck I drove my big knife into one fellow's arm at the first hazard, and I think that was enough for him.
"Follow me!" snapped Denny, remembering that the hideous attacking thing before them was blind, and gaining from that knowledge swift inspiration. Jim gathered his muscles to follow at command. But he almost shouted aloud as he saw Denny leap straight toward the enormous, snapping mandibles. In an instant, however, Denny's idea was made clear.
Then I, carried away by anger and by hatred of the man who, for a reason I did not yet understand, had struck so foul a blow against his kinsman and an old man, did a thing so rash that it seems to me now, when I consider it in the cold light of the past, a mad deed. Yet then I could do nothing else; and Denny's face, aye, and the eyes of the others, too, told me that they were with me.
It was no more than just dusk, and I saw that they were strangers to me. One was tall and broad, the other shorter, and of very slight build. They came on towards us confidently enough. I was looking over Denny's shoulder; he held Constantine's rifle, and I knew that he was impatient to try it.
This gives the last blow to any hope Sara may have had of getting Jim into business with him. Jim will take that job with the United States Reclamation Service, I hope. Though how I'm to live without me boy, Mary, its hard for me to say." Uncle Denny's Irish voice broke and Jim's mother suddenly rose and kissed his pink cheek.
Old Jerry saw him fling fiercely tense words into Hogarty's face, and Hogarty stood back. He knelt before the slack body on the stool and tried to raise the head; he held the bit of bright web before him, but there was no recognition in Denny's eyes. And the old man heard the plump reporter's words, sob-like with excitement: "She sent it," he hammered at those deaf ears.
She dared not give up the children, and she was quite honest in saying so. Mrs Wade had to go home without them. As she came up, very weary and unusually dispirited, to the archway of the King's Head, she heard voices from within. "I tell you she's not!" said Dorothy Denny's voice in a rather frightened tone; "she went forth nigh four hours agone, and whither I know not."
It happened two weeks to the day after Dan and Miss Farwell met in Denny's garden. The Ally had been busy to some purpose. The Ladies' Aid, having reached the point of declaring that something must be done, did something. The Elders of Memorial Church, in their official capacity, called on their pastor. Dan was in the garden when the Elders came.
