But, having passed the latitude of the head of the gulf, as well as those of the Van Diemen and the Staaten rivers, the Lynd still flowed to the north-west; and then, when it joined the Mitchell, I imagined that the new river would prove to be the Nassau; but, when it passed the latitude of that river, I conjectured that it would join the sea at the large embouchure in the old charts, in latitude 15 degrees 5 minutes the "Water Plaets" of the Dutch navigators.
Had he looked into Crickledon's shop as he went by, he would have perceived Van Diemen Smith astride a piece of timber, smoking a pipe. Van Diemen saw Tinman. His eyes cocked and watered. It is a disgraceful fact to record of him without periphrasis.
But not before the world, in one tempestuous glimpse, had caught sight of the Court suit. Perfect gravity greeted him from the crowd. "Safe, old Mart! and glad to be able to say it," said Van Diemen. "We are so happy," said Annette. "House, furniture, property, everything I possess!" ejaculated Tinman, shivering. "Fiddle, man; you want some hot breakfast in you. Your sister has gone on to Elba.
