So the sailor took the Rad's limp hand in his own and shook it cordially, and at the same time made a handsome apology for his own share of the misunderstanding. "Your Worship must excuse me," he said, "but I'm always apt to be a bit suspicious about lawyers. What dealings I've had with them have nearly always turned out for me unfortunately.
This would explain Rad's actions in the hotel, his white face later when I found him in the summer house. And Jeff, still quivering from the boy's accusation, had gone back into the cave and met his father as the old man was coming from the little gallery of the broken column with Polly Mathers's coat.
"Well, the roast chicken, a box of cigars, some shirts off the line, a suit of Rad's pajamas, a French novel, some brandy, quite a lot of things to eat fresh loaves of bread, preserves, a boiled ham, sugar, coffee oh, any amount of stuff! The niggers simply helped themselves and laid it to the ha'nt.
"Yes, we seem to be all right," replied Tom slowly. "I can't say what damage the flying motor has done outside, but " "Bless my insurance policy! but what happened?" asked Mr. Damon. "I saw Eradicate pull on that lever as you told him to, Tom, and then things all went topsy-turvy! Did he pull the wrong handle?" "No, it wasn't Rad's fault at all," said Tom.
Now don't you call that pretty tough luck, after coming 'way down here just to find out the truth, not to be allowed to print it when I've got it? How in the deuce am I to account for Rad's behavior without mentioning her?" "You needn't have promised," I suggested. "Oh, well," Terry grinned, "I'm human!"
I heard Rad's voice scarcely above a whisper, and I saw the outline of the cart plainly with Rad driving, and either some person or some large bundle on the seat beside him. It was on the side farthest from me, and was too vague to be distinguished.
"Well, I guess, Sam," speaking to the negro, "if YOU had counted Rad's chickens HE couldn't have counted as many in the morning. But be off, and don't come around again, or you might have to count the bars in a jail cell for a change." "Bress yo' honey. I won't neber come back." "Shall release him?" asked Koku doubtfully. "Yes," said Tom. "And not reflict the club on him?"
Rad's temper was absolutely unbearable for the first week after the detective left. The reason had nothing to do with the stolen bonds, but was concerned entirely with Polly Mathers's behavior. She barely noticed Rad's existence, so occupied was she with the ecstatic young sheriff. What the trouble was, I did not know, but I suspected that it was the whispered conjectures in regard to the ha'nt.
"Well, it was Rad's own affair, and I didn't want the appearance of spying. I did keep my eyes open as much as I could." "And the Colonel, how did he take all this excitement about the ha'nt?" "It bothered him considerably, but Rad kept him from hearing it as much as he could." "When did the ha'nt appear again after the party?"
"That Miller is a picturesque old party. He thinks it's all tommy-rot that Radnor Gaylord had anything to do with the crime Rad's a customer of his, and it's a downright imposition to lock the boy up where he can't spend money." For the rest of the drive Terry kept silence and I did not venture to interrupt it. I had come to have a superstitious feeling that his silences were portentous.
