The whole appearance of the man is wild and flighty. I added the date and the address. That evening a servant was sent on horseback to Narrabee to procure the insertion of the advertisement in the next issue of the newspaper. When we parted that night, Naomi looked almost like her brighter and happier self.
When I begged him to explain himself, he only answered, 'Ask Mr. Lefrank; I must be off to Narrabee. What does it mean? Tell me right away, sir! I'm out of temper, and I can't wait!" Except that I made the best instead of the worst of it, I told her what had happened under my window as plainly as I have told it here.
THE question of time was now a serious question at Morwick Farm. In six weeks the court for the trial of criminal cases was to be opened at Narrabee. During this interval no new event of any importance occurred. Many idle letters reached us relating to the advertisement for John Jago; but no positive information was received.
Jago must have been detained for the night at Narrabee." The daily routine of the meals resumed its unalterable course. Breakfast-time came, and dinner-time came, and no John Jago darkened the doors of Morwick Farm. Mr. Meadowcroft and his daughter consulted together, and determined to send in search of the missing man.
Lefrank wrote to a friend at Narrabee for news of what was going on at the farm. The answer informed us that Ambrose and Silas had emigrated to New Zealand, and that Miss Meadowcroft was alone at Morwick Farm. John Jago had refused to marry her. John Jago had disappeared again, nobody knew where.
"We were on our way to the clearing at the other side of the wood while Silas was talking to me; and, as ill luck would have it, we took the path that led by the limekiln. Turning the corner, we met John Jago on his way to Narrabee. I was too angry, I tell you, to let him pass quietly. I gave him a bit of my mind. His blood was up too, I suppose; and he spoke out, on his side, as freely as I did.
Lefrank's window. I was angry and jealous; and I own it freely, Naomi, I thought the worst that could be thought about you and John." Here Naomi stopped him without ceremony. "Was that what made you speak to me as you spoke when we found you at the wood?" she asked. "Yes." "And was that what made you leave me, when you went away to Narrabee, without giving me a kiss at parting?" "It was."
