It isn't likely that enough evidence could be found to convict either of us, but to be tried on such an accusation would be horrible." "Horrible! horrible!" ejaculated Mrs. Dinneford. "What is to be done?" She gave signs of weakness and terror. Freeling observed her closely, then felt his way onward. "We are in great peril," he said. "There is no knowing what turn affairs will take.
Followed their tracks some distance down the gully; they seemed to be going to the Burrow Springs; they appear, however, to have gone back again. Left the tracks, and proceeded to the Freeling Springs. Arrived there in the afternoon. No one has been here since I was, as far as I can see. The country we have passed over yesterday and to-day has been really splendid for feed.
Within a week Mrs. Dinneford brought two notes, drawn by her husband in favor of George Granger one for five hundred and the other for one thousand dollars. The time was short thirty and sixty days. On this occasion she came to the store and asked for her son-in-law. The meeting between her and Freeling was reserved and formal.
The spinifex continues until within a mile of the range. The small gum creek that we passed is running south-west into the scrub. Wednesday, 18th April, Under the High Peak, Mount Freeling.

"Thank you for the compliment," said Freeling, his lips reflecting the smile on hers. "You must think of some expedient." Mrs. Dinneford's manner grew impressive.

No gold, but good indications; a quantity of black sand and emery, also other good signs. I shall continue the hole, and see what is in the bottom. Thunderstorm this afternoon; south-west hot wind. Thursday, 22nd December, Freeling Springs. Occupied in sinking, but made little progress in consequence of the stones being so large, and the want of proper tools, crowbar, etc.
Dinneford listened, laid it up in her thought, and on the next day called at the store of Mr. Freeling to see what manner of man he was. Her first impression was favorable she liked him. On a second visit she likes him better. She was not aware that Freeling knew her; in this he had something of the advantage.
He wished to see me." "Did you go?" "Yes." "What did he want?" Freeling took a deep breath, and sighed. His manner was troubled. "What did he want?" Mrs. Dinneford repeated the question. "He's as sane as you or I," said Freeling. "Is he? Oh, very well! Then let him go to the State's prison." Mrs. Dinneford said this with some bravado in her manner. But the color did not come back to her face.
The threatening desert that hemmed in their fair province on the north had been suddenly converted into the promised land. Colonel Freeling, the Surveyor-General, immediately started out, taking with him both a boat and an iron punt with which to float on these new-found waters.
It would be an ugly thing for you and me to be sued for a conspiracy to ruin this young man, and have the charge of forgery added to the count." Mrs. Dinneford gave a low cry, and shivered. "But it may come to that." "Impossible!" "The prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the simple pass on and are punished," said Freeling. "It is for this that I have sent for you.
