Now he thinks he can't get off for a fortnight or so, and as what he's got on isn't my sort of racket, I might as well be here as anywhere else, perhaps a little better." "What Harborough is your friend?" enquired Mrs. Ess Kay, with interest. "The new San Francisco millionaire?"
He interviewed Harborough again before he was taken back to Norcaster, and again he pressed him to speak, and again Harborough gave him a point-blank refusal. "Not unless it comes to the very worst, sir," he said firmly, "and only then if I see there's no other way and even then it would only be for my daughter's sake. But it won't come to that!
Whereupon wee went presently into harborough, finding but eleuen foote and an halfe of water vpon the barre and a mightie great current in, when wee had cast anker we sent presently to speake with the masters of all the ships: but those only of Saint Malo came aboord, whom wee entertained very friendly, and demaunded of whence the other two shippes were.
I'm mighty ignorant about such things myself, but they say if a girl doesn't mind showing that she's your friend, and values you in a way, it's a sign she's a thousand miles off from falling in love with you. What's your opinion on the subject as you seem to be rather interested in Harborough?" "My goodness, Mr. Brett, there's a cow looking at us. Oh, what shall we do? It's the worst cow of all.
Ring up Norcaster for one thing, and High Gill Junction for another. Give 'em a description of Harborough he'll probably have made for one place or another, to get away by train. And ask 'em at Norcaster to lend you a few plain-clothes men, and to send 'em along here at once by motor there's no train till morning.
The 23. day wee departed from the Merchants Isle, where wee had beene first, and our course from thence was South and by West, and the wind was Northeast, and we ran that day and night about 5. or 6. leagues, vntill we came to another harborough.
The 4. day in the morning the Master went on shore with 10. of his men, and they brought vs foure of the people rowing in their boats aboord of the ship. And in the afternoone I went on shore with 6. of our men, and there came to vs seuen of them when we were on land. And thus much of that which we did see and do in that harborough where we arriued first.
Now, you won't understand, Brereton, but Miss Harborough, I think, will know what I mean, or she'll have some idea, when I say that this gentleman is now now, mind you! Mr. Wraythwaite of Wraye." Avice looked up quickly with evident comprehension, and the solicitor nodded. "You see she knows," he went on, turning to Brereton. "At least, that conveys something to her. But it doesn't to you.
Prouided also, that there be found out a better harborough then yet there is, which must be to the Northward, if any there bee, which was mine intention to haue spent this Summer in the search of, and of the Mine of Chawnis Temoatan: the one I would haue done, if the barkes that I should haue had of Sir Francis Drake, by his honourable courtesie, had not bene driuen away by storme: the other if your supply of more men, and some other necessaries had come to vs in any conuenient sufficiencie.
God you don't mean to say you'd set a man's life on bits o'things like that!" Mallalieu beckoned the superintendent aside and talked with him. Almost at once he himself turned away and left the room, and the superintendent came back to the group by the fireplace. "Well, there's no help for it, Harborough," he said. "We shall have to detain you and I shall have to charge you, presently.
