If I went to a town or the sea-side, it was well; but the moment I returned to the country I was ill again. Altogether, it was a dull and distressing time; but God was preparing me for a special work. Hayle, 1857-58.
The jungle had crept in at all points, and gorgeous creepers had wreathed themselves round the necks of the statues above the gateway. "I don't see any sign of steps," said Hayle, when they had examined the place in silence for some minutes. "I thought you said a flight of stone steps led up to where the king's throne was placed?"
I thereupon proceeded to give him a rough outline of Hayle's interview with myself, and his subsequent treatment of me. Both men listened with rapt attention. "That is Hayle all over," said Kitwater when I had finished. "It is not his fault that you are not a dead man now. He will evade us if he possibly can.
"How beautiful it all is!" she said, "and to think that we are sailing such lovely seas upon such an errand." "You must try not to think about it," I said. "'Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Let us hope that it will all come right in the end. If only Leglosse can get hold of Hayle first, your uncle cannot possibly do him any harm, however much disposed he may be that way.
"I am connected with no case in which he has any sort of interest." "You never can tell," the old gentleman replied. "From what I know of him, Gideon Hayle was always " "Gideon what?" I cried, springing to my feet. "Did I understand you to say Gideon Hayle?" "That's the name of the young man of whom I have been speaking to you," he replied. "But what makes you so excited."
"That is quite right, and this lady is his niece," I returned. "She has brought me extraordinary intelligence. Her uncle and his companion have suddenly disappeared from the little village in Surrey, where they have been staying some time with her. It is her belief that they have come to Paris in search of Hayle.
Now we shall have to keep our eyes open for trouble. It won't be long in coming, mark my words." "You don't think they watched us at work in that courtyard, do you?" asked Hayle anxiously, as they returned to the camp. "If that's so, they'll have every atom of the remaining treasure, and we shall be done for." He spoke as if until that moment they had received nothing.
The very boldness of his scheme carried conviction with it! Certainly, Mr. Gideon Hayle was a foeman worthy of my steel, and I began to realize that, with such a man to deal with, the enterprise I had taken in hand was likely to prove a bigger affair than I had bargained for.
"God keep us from rocks and shelving sands, And save us from Breage and Germoe men's hands!" The parish of Breage has a specially attractive church, dedicated to St. Breaca, who landed in the Hayle estuary some time in the sixth century; she was an Irish lady, said to have been the sister of St. Uni, of Euny Lelant and other churches.
This is the narrowest section of the Cornish peninsula, and from Hayle River to Mount's Bay is only about four miles across; a good road makes the journey from sea to sea. It is just a neck of land dividing north from south, and persons susceptible to climatic change say that the difference can be noticed when they get half-way across.
