May was seated at her cottage door, basking in sunshine, chatting with her mother who was knitting of course and Shank was conversing with Hunky Ben, who rested after a day of labour.

"I haven't got time to dicker name your price." "It's worth eight hundred," said Henry, too much dazed to ask more than its value. "Shut that door," said Mr. Bloom to the lawyer. Then he tore off his coat and vest, and began to unbutton his shirt. "Wanter fight about it, do yer?" said Henry Williams, jumping up and cracking his heels together twice. "All right, hunky sail in and cut yer capers."
I'm off to Quester Creek to rouse up the troops. Wi' that Hunky wheeled round an' went off like a runaway streak o' lightnin'. I sent a couple o' shots after him, for I'd took a fancy to Black Polly but them bullets didn't seem to hit somehow."
"That has been provided for," said our hero, turning to Hunky Ben. "Ay, Crux," said the scout, "we don't want to starve you, though the 'arth wouldn't lose much if we did. At the other end o' the lake, about five mile from here, you'll find a red rag flyin' at the branch of a tree.
"Oh, McCarthy's all hunky," Dave Harney assured them later on, coming to the rescue of St. Vincent, who was getting the rough side of the Irishman's wit.

Well, it was suthin' like this, ez he was explainin' it to me.
Buck Tom, owing to the skilled attentions which he had received from that amateur surgeon, Hunky Ben, and a long refreshing sleep the result of partial relief from pain was a good deal better; and poor Leather, cheered by the hope thus raised of his friend's recovery, was himself considerably improved in health and spirits.
"Humph!" ejaculated Buck, "didn't I tell you not to trouble Roarin' Bull that he and his boys could lick you if you had been twenty instead of ten. But how came ye to hear o' this cock-and-bull story about the Redskins?" "We got it from Hunky Ben, an' he's not the boy to go spreadin' false reports."
David thought so when he said, "Let me fall now into the hand of the Lord." The Indian child evidently thought so when she felt that Hunky Ben was strong and perceived that he was good. "We will not hurt you, my little one," said the scout, when he had reached a retired part of the copse, and, sitting down, placed the child on his knee.

Next morning at daybreak they laid the outlaw in his last resting-place, and then the avengers prepared to set off in pursuit of his comrades. "You'll join us, I fancy," said Crux to Charlie Brooke.
