Mallalieu is left to consider matters. Perhaps when he's reflected a bit " She and her nephew went out, leaving Mallalieu fuming and grumbling. And once in the living-room she turned to Christopher with a shake of the head. "What did I tell you?" she said. "Mean as a miser! My plan's much the best. We'll help ourselves and then we can snap our fingers at him.
"Manage it your own way," said Barry, "for I don't see what you're doing. If this man can do anything for me, why, I suppose I must pay him for it; and if so, your plan's as good a way of paying him as another." The attorney raised his hat with his hand, and scratched his head: he was afraid that Moylan would have again gone off in a pet at Lynch's brutality, but the old man sat quite quiet.
"Wait and see," Olsen rejoined, "though that plan's expensive, because it may be too late when you find out. My employers don't often back the wrong man and I trust their judgment now. If you'll listen, I'll show you." Kit signed him to go on and Olsen resumed: "The Buccaneer will drop out soon and you'll be left to do the best you can for yourself.
"Keep a sharp lookout for him, and when you see him send him to me directly." "Yes, sir," replied the man. "I dessay he'll turn up in the course o' the morning. He's always hiding himself and coming again when you don't expect it." "I say, Val," cried Denham as soon as we were alone, "we didn't reckon on this. Why, if he doesn't turn up our plan's done." "Not at all," I said. "Eh?
His strength is gone, his plan's a fillure, mebbe, an' this one's dead an' thet one's dead, an' t'other one better be. Then 's 'bout half-ways with him. If he lives till the ten treasures is all gone, God gives him one more thet's death. An' he can swop thet off an' git back all he's lost. Then he begins t' think it's a purty dum good thing, after all.
One plan's as good as the other," remarked the old man, after a short silence. "They have stolen the custom house boat, so they ought to be taught a lesson for the future." "Wait a bit, old man," I began. "Certainly, they ought not to have stolen the boat. If they are not punished now, they will probably do something worse next time."
"If Clarke's mortgage doesn't stop me, I might raise a few dollars on my farm," Benson volunteered. "I'll throw it in, with pleasure, because I'm pretty deep in your debt." "Thanks," Harding responded. "I'm sorry I can't agree; but I wouldn't take your offer when you first made it, and I can't do so now that my plan's a failure.
"We have both knocked out Wilkinson, but I'm not sure that we have done with him. The simple plan's not always as easy as it looks." "I don't think he can make much trouble. If he does, one of us will knock him out again. As it will hurt us less than it hurts him, he'll probably get tired first."
Clemence, who had also risen and was putting on her shawl, coldly added: "The plan's absurd." Then, as Robine sat watching their departure with a gentle glance, Charvet asked him if he were not coming with them; but Robine, having still some beer left in his glass, contented himself with shaking hands.
"To tell the truth, I don't know," Charnock replied with naive honesty. "Anyhow, I am thinking about you." "That is what I like, but there's no use in talking. Since I can make this business go I can run a farm, and see no other way. My plan's made and I'm going to put it over." Charnock was silent for some moments and then turned to her with a look in his face she had not seen.
