We reached Mount Harris on the 7th of the month, and moving leisurely up the banks of the Macquarie, gained Mr. Palmer's first station on the 14th, and Wellington Valley on the 21st, having been absent from that settlement four months and two weeks.
By the middle of the afternoon a continuous line of breastworks had been made along the whole of Palmer's division in front of the British road. Ruger had extended it diagonally till it joined Carter's right, the latter continuing it across the Dover road in front of Wise's Forks to a difficult swamp on the extreme left.
"And who might your aunt be?" "Mrs. Palmer." "Bill Palmer's wife?" "Yes, that's Uncle Will I guess," and Betty laughed. "Pshaw now! You don't say so! Why, I know Bill well." The farmer's wife came bustling out. "Is the young lady hurt, Jason? What got into Nero, anyhow? I never see him behave so!" "Oh, it was them pesky boys! No, she's not hurt." Amy was surrounded by her chums.
Palmer's own request that she would try what could be done to make the young people happy; yet she, with infinite address, drew Sir John out, and dexterously turned every thing he said into what she thought would please Mr. Palmer, though all the time she seemed to be misunderstanding or confuting him.
