The words were barely uttered when Hunston dealt the boy a buffet which nearly sent him to the earth; but young Jack was pretty prompt in returning it. This was a kind of debt which the Harkaways were not long in acquitting. Quick as lightning recovering himself, he turned and leapt upon Hunston, and taking him unexpectedly, he toppled him over and fell upon him, clutching him by the throat.
Pike, however, took no part in the consultation. That astute detective had formed in his own mind a resolution that, if it were possible, he would capture Hunston single-handed, thus covering himself with glory, and at the same time keeping the Harkaways and Harvey out of danger.
It was between one and two in the morning when she quitted the bivouac without being observed, and walked slowly towards the town where the Harkaways were located. There was no occasion for hurry. At that hour of the morning she could not hope to gain admittance to the house where her foes were located. A day must pass, and evening come again, before any thing could be done.
"It was an evil moment for those villains of brigands when they shot the poor young Harkaways. They will lose many a life for those two." "Ah, that they will." "Who is that driving the two wounded men before him?" "That is an English secret police officer. He is even more dangerous than the others. He has killed four men with his own hands in this skirmish.
"She had been detained," she said, "by the Contessa Maraviglia for the letter which she brought back to Mr. Mole." The letter was an invitation to a grand ball which was to be given by the contessa at the Palazzo Maraviglia, and to which the Harkaways were going. Dick Harvey had been at work in this business, and had made the contessa believe indirectly that Mr.
We'll glut ourselves with it; a feast of vengeance we'll have." "We will, we will!" shouted the brigands, as though with one single voice. "These English and these Americans shall die." "They shall!" "We'll exterminate them, root and branch." "Aye, aye." "Firstly, these Harkaways shall fall, then " "They die." "Does Mathias owe his death to Harkaway's band?" demanded Hunston.
He thought that without knowing it he had fallen into the power of the Harkaways again; that in flying from them he had suddenly, when he thought himself miles away from them and from imminent danger, fallen into their arms. And so went his alarming dream, when his worst enemies were assembled in judgment over him.
And with the disappearance of Geoffrey, the sham brigand, we have to chronicle the sudden return of our old friend, Dick Harvey, to his beloved Harkaways. And what of Toro, the giant brigand? He was completely lost sight of for awhile. No one knew what had become of him.
I shall not be satisfied till the Harkaways and the Harveys are destroyed root and branch-till the other accursed detective, Nabley, his American friend Jefferson, the negroes, the wooden-legged ass Mole, till every one of the party is swept away out of my path.
Little cared Hunston about the dead brigand chief. Indeed, but for the presence of his widow in their midst, and the occasional mention of his name, Hunston would, in all probability, have forgotten that he had ever existed. As it was, he made it his especial task to hang about the parts of the town where the Harkaways were most likely to be met. And never did he appear twice in the same dress.
