Then the robbers would get it hot, and everything would be extremely satisfactory.

She would try to keep her face in the right direction. Here was prejudice, narrowness, suspicion, downright injustice and cruelty of this she was sure there were other elements, other complications of which she had no knowledge. Peter Neelands had told her the Government was watching her, but she had not taken it seriously.
"There's no justice in it," he declared, thumping the table with his fist till the spoons danced, "Lairds or no Lairds, Anguses or no Anguses."
