Haines now fell in love with a girl at Bruntisland, aged nineteen, named Anne Seaton, and told her a number of things, which she promised to repeat to Mackenzie, but disappointed him, though she had blabbed to others.

In his confession of March 27 he explained what the mysterious something was. These men were reprieved, and doubtless expected to be; but Haines, all the while remorseful, I think, told the truth.

Neither of them was originally published at the Sign of Fame, and they could hardly have been pirated, since Cogan, who issued the volume wherein the advertisement appeared, was also the original publisher of The Busy-Body.
The profits in England and the United States were lost to authors on two of the most popular books ever published by Canadians. Charles Gordon's Black Rock, pirated from his own publisher, sale half a million; Kirby's Chien d'Or, sale one million.
