I had undoubted authority that these accounts proceeded from Mr. Mathews, and likewise that Mr. Knight had never had any share in them. I then thought I no longer owed Mr. Mathews the compliment to conceal any circumstance, and I related the affair to several gentlemen exactly as above. "Now, sir, as I have put down nothing in this account but upon the most assured recollection, and as Mr.
"Tell me about it." I related as much as I dared, leaving out Mr. Temple's double dealing; which, in truth, I did not understand. But the boy was relentless. "Why," said he, "my father was a friend of Mr. Lowndes and Mr. Mathews. I have seen them here drinking with him. And in town. And he ran away?" "I do not know where he went," said I, which was the truth.
There was still a short distance of smooth water before us; but that was soon passed; and then our ship dashed her prow into the waves and had to fight her way as for very life against the heavy sea that rolled in through Bass's Straits from the South Pacific. The only distinguished passengers on board are Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mathews, who have been "starring" it in Victoria to some purpose.
In 1625 the court saw no way to "put Captain Samuell Mathews who is presently seated thereon, out of possessione" in spite of a petition to do this. In a listing of land grants in 1625, there is reference to Mathews "Divident planted" although no acreage is mentioned.
Her eyes opened wider, and Dick was about to interpose, when she answered understandingly: "Yes; but I'll not give it to you, Bill Mathews." "I'm sorry," he said, as quietly as if his request or her refusal had been mere desultory conversation. "I might need one in a pinch; but if you can't spare it, I reckon the boy and me can do what we have to do without one."
Siddons, he said, was incomparable, and the elder Mathews a great genius, the precursor of Dickens. For Edmund Kean he had no enthusiasm. Kean, he said, was at his best in Sir Edward Mortimer, and after that in Shylock. Miss O'Neill he remembered as the perfect Juliet: a beautiful, blue-eyed woman, who could easily weep, and who retained her beauty to the last, dying at 85, as Lady Wrixon Becher.
"But the miners will see us;" objects the widow, "it won't be dark when the train arrives." "I heard the miners say the train would be late. A freight was off the track east of Mathews and the wrecking crew was at work," Martha goes on to explain.
A meeting of all the freemen was called at Charlestown, where they elected representatives, for the purpose of making laws for the government of the colony. Thomas Gray, Henry Hughs, Maurice Mathews, and Christopher Portman, were chosen deputies from the people, and took their seat at the upper house of assembly.
Dick shook his head, puffing at his pipe. "Not a soul I knew," he commented, "except Mathews about my job. Wish I hadn't gone; London is a depressing place." "You rather hoped to meet someone, didn't you?" asked Mabel. Dick glanced up at her and away again quickly. "What makes you ask that?" he said.
'Mathews, he said, 'you must not come. Stay here, and join the reinforcements when they turn up. You have to consider your wife and little Wellington. For answer the groom started along the path towards the bridge, and Durwent was forced to break into a run before he could head him off. 'Mathews, he said sternly.
