Rumbold was still unpacking.... Mr. Polly had no human intercourse thereafter with Rumbold for fifteen years. He kept up a Hate. There was a time when it seemed as if Rumbold might go, but he had a meeting of his creditors and then went on unpacking as obtusely as ever. Hinks, the saddler, two shops further down the street, was a different case. Hinks was the aggressor practically.
This afternoon Marian found her father examining a volume of prints which had been lent him by Mr Quarmby. A whiteness in his eyes showed how the disease was progressing, but his face had a more wholesome colour than a year ago. 'Mr Hinks and Mr Gorbutt inquired very kindly after you to-day, said the girl, as she seated herself. 'Oh, is Hinks out again? 'Yes, but he looks very ill.
Mr Hinks talked to her in a tone of respectful sympathy, and Mr Quarmby was paternally jovial when he addressed her. Mrs Yule would have kept silence, in her ordinary way, but this evening her husband made several remarks which he had adapted to her intellect, and even showed that a reply would be graciously received.
Tony Hinks, in command of a boat with Golding, is embarking the sandal-wood, of which a pile lies on the beach. I am watching from the deck through my glass what is taking place. The vendor of the wood is a young chief: he has been examining the articles given him in barter.

He points to a fleet of war-canoes coming round the point: he fears that we also shall be cut off, and that the ship, with the loss of half her crew, may fall a prey to the savages. Still I cannot without an effort see my shipmates destroyed. We dash on, the foam flies from our bows. Hinks has got his boat afloat, but several of his men are wounded; yet they struggle bravely.
In a moment he handed the book to Marian, indicating the small type of a foot-note; it embodied an effusive eulogy introduced a propos of some literary discussion of 'Mr Alfred Yule's critical acumen, scholarly research, lucid style, and sundry other distinguished merits. 'That is kind of him, said Marian. 'Good old Hinks! I suppose I must try to get him half-a-dozen readers.
There was Hinks, for instance, whom, though in anger he spoke of him as a bore, Alfred held in some genuine regard. Hinks made perhaps a hundred a year out of a kind of writing which only certain publishers can get rid of and of this income he spent about a third on books.
A window in the top story over Boomer's shop opened, and Boomer, captain of the Fire Brigade, appeared, staring out with a blank expression.
