Drysdale evidently wished to be left alone. They had ample opportunity for consultation, and they decided that Green had better stay near by all night, to watch the house and the grove. "If that is to be done," said Mrs.
He was to cross and re-cross Drysdale's path, until Drysdale should take notice of him, while Andrews was to be at hand immediately, pretending that he had fallen asleep during his watch, and on waking up suddenly and finding Drysdale gone, had come out in search of him. I told Mr. Bannatine and Mr.
He gave us his camps Bora Bora, Budgery-Gar, Wintelliga, and Gilgan since we were to go in his direction also soon. He turned round in his saddle as he rode off, and said gaily: "Gentlemen, I hope you'll always help to uphold the majesty of the law as nobly as you have sustained its envoy from your swags." Drysdale and I waved our hands to him, but Barlas muttered something between his teeth.
My faither has dealt wi' ye these twenty years, and I don't suppose ye ever fand it necessary to mak ony effort to recover your money oot o' his hands. I rather think ye were aye paid withoot askin." "Oh, yes, yes," replied Mr. Drysdale, doggedly; "but I repeat that recent circumstances have altered the case materially." "What circumstances do ye allude to, sir?" said I, wi' increasin passion.
"Then this note, signed 'Alexander P. Drysdale, might have been pulled out of one of these packages?" "I suppose so; I don't know where else it came from; do you, Mr. McGregor?" said Mr. Gordon, rather bewildered. "No; I never thought about where it came from," said Mr. McGregor.
He's a totally different person." "What!" exclaimed Mr. Drysdale, "not your father! Who is he, then? I didn't know there was any other William Smith, of any note in trade, in your town. I did not, indeed, look particularly at the designation; but took it for granted it was your father, as, to my certain knowledge, many others have also done." "Indeed!" replied I; "why, that is mair serious.
He was so scared, that in future, he will take great care not to be seen in any clothes like those of poor George." "Of course, I shall not mention the matter," said Mr. Andrews; "send him over this afternoon." On leaving Mr. Breed, Mr. Andrews paid a visit to Mr. Drysdale, at the latter's office. "I hope I shall not interfere with your work, Mr. Drysdale," he said.
Drysdale, however, refused to hear of such a thing as the removal of a sick person from her house, and she said that she should enjoy Mrs. Potter's society enough to compensate for the slight trouble. It was decided, therefore, that Mrs. Potter should remain until she was able to go without assistance.
I couldn't say what it looked like. Why do you call it a ghost, Mr. Drysdale?" "Because I have seen it twice close to me, and Mr. Andrews has not been able to see it at all," replied Drysdale with great difficulty. "I began to think it must have been imagination on my part, but now, that you have seen it, I know that it was a ghost."
The excitement about the murder, was revived in all its original importance, and many were the speculations about the mysterious affair. Drysdale felt rather strong that morning, and about noon, he walked down to his gate. While there, some of his neighbors passed on their way to their homes, and they were all anxious to tell him about the new sensation at the bank.
