But this was long after the present essay was written. Picture Gallery ... Mr. Matthews. See note below. Not Diamond's. Dimond was the proprietor of the old Bath Theatre. Mrs.
"Charge them, my lads, and drive them back, or they will not let us embark quietly!" shouted the Diamond's lieutenant. Sir Henry Elmore with a number of followers, carried on by his ardour, went farther than was necessary, when a shot from a distance brought him to the ground. At that moment the retreat was sounded, for the fresh body of French was coming on.
"Though, to be sure," said Diamond's father with what truth I cannot say, but he believed what he said "some ladies is very hard, and keeps you to the bare sixpence a mile, when every one knows that ain't enough to keep a family and a cab upon. To be sure it's the law; but mayhap they may get more law than they like some day themselves."
"And now, will you sell me old Diamond?" asked Mr. Raymond. "If you will, here are twenty pounds for him, if you think that is enough."

Diamond's anger got the best of him. He strode forward, looked straight into Frank's eyes, and panted: "I hate you, sir! I could kill you!" And then, before he realized what he was doing, he struck Merriwell a sharp blow on the cheek with his open hand. The blow staggered Frank. It had come so suddenly that he was quite unprepared for it.

He assured me that that diamond's value could have been over a billion dollars, but not under it. I believed him, because he had devoted twenty-seven years to hunting for it, and was, in a position to know.
