Not so with her companion, whose name was Delvin, a young and good-looking fellow; and had we not been present, he would have laughed at the demands of Herrets, for he was as bold as a lion, and was just the kind of a man that a romantic girl like Mary would take a fancy to.
Henrets," the officer said. "My name is Herrets," the miner said, "and why you will persist in calling me Henrets is beyond my comprehension." "One name is as good as the other what is the difference? both begin with H and end with s." We found that the officer's description of the man answered very well. His hair was sandy, his eyes were blue, and his skin was very fair and beardless.
Herrets, and perhaps I should have continued to think so had not accident revealed to me what real love is." Fred looked astonished and remained silent. He did not suspect the state of her heart. "It would be unmaidenly," she continued, with a slight air of vexation to think that Fred remained cool, "for me to speak plainer, and if you cannot solve my meaning I must remain silent."
"We have promised this man to help recover his wife, and we mean to keep our word. We have nothing against you, and therefore do not think it worth while to risk our lives exchanging shots; but Herrets, here " "Ah, then he can meet me," cried Delvin, eagerly.
Robert Herrets is to be found in the mines of Ballarat, you shall see him before this time to-morrow; and even after he has joined you, I should recommend that you impose upon the good miners here, and not let them think that the person we have rescued and the newly-made bride is one and the same person."
He glanced towards me and saw that I was watching the struggle that was going on in his mind, and his decision was instantly formed. "We must not pursue this subject further," he said. "Believe me, it is better that we should not; for the sake of Mr. Herrets, and your own sake, do not ask me more questions."
"Then you deny me a chance to satisfy the husband of this woman?" demanded Delvin, and his looks showed how eagerly he would have shot Herrets had he been allowed. "Certainly we do, and we have a piece of advice to give you don't return to Ballarat for a few months, or you might fare badly.
Herrets rushed forward, and uttered oath after oath as he caught sight of his wife, while the latter applied her riding whip to the sides of her steed, in the vain endeavor to escape; but finding that we gained on her and her paramour, she suffered her horse to fall into a walk, and apparently took no further notice of us.
Some laughed at him, while others, after questioning him until they had arrived at the facts, would gravely shake their heads, and express an entire ignorance of the woman's whereabouts. Herrets then made application to the police office, but was curtly informed that the police had something to attend to besides hunting after men's wives.
As for Herrets and his wife, they took our advice, and moved to Melbourne, where there was society and enjoyment. The husband went into business there, and became quite wealthy; and Mrs. Herrets was noted for her lively disposition and fondness of company.
