"The only thing that puzzles me is, how are we to get it sent to such an out-o'-the-way place Traitor's Trap! It's a bad name, and the stupid fellow makes no mention of any known town near to it, though he gives the post-office. If I only knew its exact whereabouts I might get some one to take the money to him, for I have agents in many parts of America."
Next morning we rose at daybreak, relighted the fire and had breakfast, after which we resumed our search, but still without success. "I fear that my surmise as to the state of poor Liston's mind is correct," said Lumley. "We have searched the whole valley, I believe." "Nay, not quite," I returned, "it is much varied in form, and full of out-o'-the-way nooks.
"Quite safe, my dear quite safe! Nobody would know me in this guise, would they? I'm at No. 119 Isabella Street, Camden Town quite a little out-o'-the-way place just the sort to suit a quiet respectable-looking man like me." He gave vent to a grim little chuckle as he went on. "They don't know who they've got hold of, do they? Maybe they wouldn't be quite so pleased if they did."
As he made off hastily in the direction of his house, for this conversation had taken place at the blacksmith's shop at the cross-roads, the surveyor gazed after him much mystified. "What is that old fox slyin' round after? He ain't studyin' 'bout no saw-mill, inquirin' round about all the out-o'-the-way water-power in the ken-try fifty mile from where he b'longs.
"'Tis a question I've a-been daggin' to ax'ee ever since it woke me up in the night to spekilate thereon. For I felt it very curious there shud he three Zebedee Minardses i' this parish a-drawin' separate breath at the same time." "Iss, 'tis an out-o'-the-way fact." "A stirrin' age, when such things befall!
You'll live in our tent, and we'll make a gold-digger of you in a couple of days. I could have wished you better fortune, lad, but as you have managed to make your way to this out-o'-the-way place, I suppose you'll want to remain." "I believe you, my boy!" said Tommy, with his mouth full of damper. So Tommy Bogey remained with his friends at the Kangaroo Flats, and dug for gold.
"You see I don't like the notion of running right into port with it, where this pilot has probably numerous friends who would aid him in making a dash for such a prize supposing he has guessed what we are about. Now, I happen to have a trusty friend here, a young Scotchman, who lives in a quiet out-o'-the-way part.
But there is another contrivance which Dan has been making for us not for you, but for Old Peg. Tell daddy about it, Dan." "Like the chair," said Dan, "it is no novelty, except in this out-o'-the-way place. You see, I have noticed that Old Peg is rather deaf " "Well, Tan," interrupted old McKay with a benignant smile, "it iss not much observation that you will be requirin' to see that!" "Just so.
"Yes, sir," said the Captain, rolling a cigarette. "Yes, sir, those were great days. Get down there around the line in those little, out-o'-the-way republics along the South American coast, and things happen to you. You hold a man's life in the crook of your forefinger, an' nothing's done by halves.
At first, Aileen travelled a good deal with her husband in his various business expeditions, and thus visited many wild, romantic, and out-o'-the-way parts of our shores; but the advent of a juvenile Berrington put a sudden stop to that, and the flow of juvenile Berringtons that followed induced her to remain very much at home.
