But he knew that Furniss had been working for the place, and he could not realize that such good fortune was to fall to him, so he said to Henshaw: "I thought that Furniss was sure of the chance. I heard him say as much only yesterday." "A fig for Furniss! Old John had a long talk with me this morning, and I told him you were just the chap for the place, young and capable.
Then we can have a long talk. I don't think I have seen you since the day you asked me to lend you my boat, two years ago." "Can you spare me two hours now?" Vincent asked. "You will do me a very great favor if you will." Harry Furniss looked at his watch. "It is eleven o'clock now; we have a lot of people to lunch at half-past one, and I must be back by then."
It was the evil work of that villain Furniss, from first to last. I have the written testimony of William Crosby in my pocket at this moment. He is alive and well, and married to the lady of whom he was speaking when your son shot him.
"You can manage that easy enough," Vincent replied; "in two hours from the time we leave here you can be at home." "I am your man, then, Vincent. Just wait five minutes I have to see someone in here." A few minutes later Harry Furniss came out again and mounted. "Now which way, Vincent? and what is it you want me for?"
"Oh, massa, it is too much," Tony said, with the tears running down his cheeks; "too much joy altogeder." "Well, I hope it will all come right, Tony. Dinah will be here in a minute or two. Do not keep her long, for I do not wish her absence from the house to be observed just now. Now, listen to my instructions. Do you know the plantation of Mr. Furniss, on the Pamunkeyunky, near Coal harbor?"
Had Jack known the truth, known the frequent and long conversations his deceitful companion had held with the plotting Furniss, and how the latter had worked to get Offut sent on this voyage with him, our hero would have felt different toward the other.
Still he did not dream of any sinister purpose in the minds of the two, and he was about to stoop to lift a piece of iron at the request of Furniss, when he discovered a bar of iron so suspended over his head from the cross timber that a slight movement on his part was sure to bring it down upon his head.
"The only thing that makes Ashby crazy is that he didn't get you." "He did 'get' me, however," laughed Tom, displaying four bullet holes through his shirtsleeves, and two more that pierced his hat. "Ashby got as much of me as I'd want any marksman to get." Having withdrawn to a distance, the crowd waited. It was nearly half an hour before Dr. Furniss stepped outside.
I see how you have been imposed upon by bad people; but do you keep a stiff upper lip, madam, and don't be in no ways cast down, and your innercence will come like pure gold from the furniss, as the saying is. And now, my dear young lady, I have some news for you, as will help to divert your mind from your troubles, I hope," said the well-meaning woman, soothingly. "Is it about Johnnie Scott?
"Help, Offut quick!" cried Furniss, as his head was jabbed into the midst of a box of coal. "He he'll kill me!" spluttered the discomfited man. But Fret Offut failed for good reasons to heed the supplications of his friend. The next instant Furniss managed to get a hold on Jack which enabled him to throw him upon the floor. "Go to South America, will you?" cried the exultant Furniss.
