"I don't know how that is, Karl. I think Gangoil goes a quarter of a mile beyond this. But we did not quite strike the boundary when we put up the fence." "Brownbie's cattle is allays here, Mr. 'Eathcote, and is knocking down the fence every day. Brownbie is a rascal, and 'is cattle as bad as 'isself." "Never mind that, Karl, now.

"There's been no one about, I suppose?" he asked. "Not a one," said the man. "You've been across on Brownbie's run?" "We're on it now, Mr. 'Eathcote." They were both on the side of the fence away from Gangoil station.
"The Brownbies are a bad lot, but I don't think they'd do any thing of this kind," said Harry, whose mind was still dwelling on the dangers of fire. "They likes muttons, Mr. 'Eathcote." "I suppose they do take a sheep or two now and then. They wouldn't do worse than that, would they?" "Not'ing too 'ot for 'em; not'ing too 'eavy," said Karl, smoking his pipe.
"The vind, vat there is, comes just here, Mr. 'Eathcote." And the man lifted up his arm, and pointed across in the direction of Brownbie's run. "And you don't think much of Boscobel?" Karl Bender shook his head. "He was always well treated here," said Harry, "and has had plenty of work, and earned large wages. The man will be a fool to quarrel with me." Karl again shook his head.
