My boat is as stiff as a man-of-war, and you can go a great deal easier in her than you can climb over the rocks on the other side of the river." Miss Liverage considered the matter, and after dinner she decided to undertake the hazardous trip, as she regarded it. She had an engagement the next week in New York, and she could not remain in Rockhaven more than a day or two longer.
I have not opened the bag, and uncle Leopold sealed it up. I told him not to let anybody touch it without my consent." "I think that is the safest place for it," said Mr. Bennington. "Then it appears that Miss Liverage was not crazy, after all." "She was right in every respect. If she could have told me where to look for the gold, I should have found it," replied Leopold.
Bennington did not question him in regard to her conduct after he was a little accustomed to the ways of Miss Liverage. The young man did not place much reliance upon the statements of the nurse. He had heard and read about "money-diggers" before.
"I do; I am always ready to make a dollar, though I don't owe anybody anything," replied Leopold, willing to encourage the woman, while he did not desire to make anything out of her. "Five hundred dollars is a good deal of money," continued Miss Liverage, watching the countenance of the young man very closely. Leopold did not dispute the remark, and with a nod he admitted the truth of it.
"Harvey couldn't have been engaged to her, or anything of that sort could he?" suggested Leopold. "I should think not. She is ten years older than he was, I should say," replied Mr. Bennington. No satisfactory solution presented itself, and Miss Sarah Liverage had to remain a mystery for the time.
Sit down; for I don't want to scream out what I have to say. Will any one hear us?" "No; I think not." "Won't your father?" "No, he has gone up to Squire Wormbury's." Miss Liverage drew her chair up to the cheerful wood fire that blazed in the Franklin stove, and Leopold seated himself in the corner nearly opposite her, with his curiosity intensely excited by what he had already heard.
But I don't want you to tell me anything that concerns any person that is, in a way to do any injury." "It don't concern any living soul," interposed Miss Liverage, impatiently. "I know where there is some money." The last remark was whispered, after a glance at the door and all the windows of the parlor.
Miss Sarah Liverage had been three days at the Cliff House before the mystery of her coming appeared to promise a solution. The landlord was sure she had come for something, for all her speech and all her actions indicated this. She had not visited the shore for recreation, and was not idling away a vacation. One day she commenced a conversation with Mr.
About the middle of October the steamer brought to Rockhaven a woman, apparently about forty years of age, who registered her name at the Cliff House as Miss Sarah Liverage. Though it was certain, from her own confession, that she had never been there before, she seemed to know all about the hotel, and all the persons connected with it.
"Where is it?" asked Leopold, now for the first time manifesting a real interest in the conversation. "In the ground." "Buried?" "Yes." Miss Liverage was very much agitated for a few moments, for she had now actually entered upon the business which had brought her to Rockhaven.
