'It's on the way to Leuraville, and you can take the steamer from there. I will write to you in Leichardt's Town. Oh, it's quite simple. The mailman will be here early. You can leave a letter saying that you are recalled. 'I understand. Her definite planning gave him hope that she had already made up her mind, and that she would join him in Leuraville or Leichardt's Town.
I'm not sure, though, that either Rosamond or Luke approve of my drawing the Leichardt's Town people into my mysterious sphere of influence. 'I think, if you ask me, that Lady Tallant is a bit of a cat, and Sir Luke more than a bit of a prig. 'No. You mustn't say a word against them. It was not in Bridget to be disloyal. 'They've given me the time of my life.
The second letter was from the Manager of the Bank of Leichardt's Land, regretfully conveying the decision of the Board that, failing immediate repayment of the loan, the mortgage on Moongarr station must be foreclosed and that in due course a representative of the Bank would arrive to take over the property.
I'd cut off my right hand if that would be of any use to you. Good Lord! That does sound cheek! Only you know I'm big enough to bully the whole of Leichardt's Land from the Governor down and I'd do it if you wanted me to. Just tell me what's worrying you?

'I see you haven't heard the bad news. 'No what? We only get a mail once a week. 'I thought McKeith would have broken the shock. He came on, he said, to do so. Poor Lady Tallant. 'Rosamond! The operation? 'She died under the anaesthetic. Sir Luke got the news by cable the day before I left Leichardt's Town. He wired at once for leave and has started for England by this time.
Bridget once hinted to me that you might have your own reasons for desiring your freedom. She would give no grounds for the suspicion that there is any other woman in your life. I do not think anything would make me credit such a thing and I put that notion entirely out of court. I do not know as your letter was dated from Leichardt's Town whether you still live at Moongarr.
Except that the loss of McKeith's seat in the Legislative Assembly made it no longer necessary for him to spend at least part of the winter session in Leichardt's Town. Nor would Lady Bridget have the opportunity to resume her old intimacy at Government House. In any case, however, she was not destined to see more of her old friend in Australia.
