Whither they were going he did not care. He was English: this was England still! He set his teeth and threw back his shoulders. "I be na feared of him!" said he. "But my father will come for us soon, won't he, Nick?" faltered Cicely. "Eigh! just don't he wish that he might!" laughed Goole. "Oh, ay," said she, and nodded bravely to herself; "he may be very busy now, and so he cannot come.
"DEAR SIRS, We are in receipt of your favour and in reply beg to state that nothing will induce us ... will induce us ... where did I put that letter? Ah!... nothing will induce us ... oh, tell 'em to go to blazes, Miss Milliken." "Very well, Sir Mallaby." "That's that. Ready? Messrs. Brigney, Goole and Butterworth. What infernal names these people have.
"Ah, sirs," whined Goole, scarce hiding the joy in his face, "she'll thank ye with her dying breath. Get on, thou knave!" he muttered fiercely in Nick's ear. But Nick stood fast, and caught Tom Webster by the arm. "The fellow lieth in his throat," said he. "My mother is in Stratford town; and Cicely's mother is dead."
Let us go and see the capital, and that good gentleman, as you have picked up a bit of news for. So we shaped a course for York, on board the schooner Mary Anne, and from Goole in a barge as far as this here bridge; and here we are, high and dry, your honor.
This being done, the worthy magistrate prepared to write down what the gallant officer might say, which, in brief, came to this, that having orders to seize Robin Lyth wherever he might find him, and having sure knowledge that said Robin was on board of a certain schooner vessel, the Elizabeth, of Goole, the which he had laden with goods liable to duty, he, Charles Carroway, had gently laid hands on him, and brought him to the nearest justice of the peace, to obtain an order of commitment.
About the same time a person wrote to me to go and lecture at Goole. I went. No subject had been named to me, and I resolved to speak in favor of the leading practical principles of Christianity.
"Nay, nay," Goole stammered, turning a sickly hue; "her father's nearest friend, I said, he gave her in my charge." "My father's friend!" cried Cicely. "Thou? Thou? His common groom! Why, he would not give my finger in thy charge." "He is the wiser daddy, then!" laughed Jemmy Armstrong, "for the fellow hath a T for Tyburn writ upon his face."
Having done there with very great pleasure we away back again, and called at the Taverne in Hackny by the church, and there drank and eate, and so in the Goole of the evening home. This being the first day of my putting on my black stuff bombazin suit, and I hope to feel no inconvenience by it, the weather being extremely hot.
"Dear Sirs: We are in receipt of your favour and in reply beg to state that nothing will induce us ... will induce us ... where did I put that letter?

From this it followed, as indeed the inspector had known, that passengers to and from Hull had two points of connection with the main line, either direct to Selby, or through Goole to Doncaster. He began to study the trains. The first northwards was the 4 p.m. dining-car express from King's Cross to Newcastle. It left Doncaster at 7.56 and reached Selby at 8.21. Would Archer travel by it?
