His advice about the railway company was very clear and general, and such as an honest man would certainly give; but it might have been conveyed by letter. The information, such as it was, respecting Mrs Hurtle, could only be given vivâ voce, and perhaps the invitation to Liverpool had originated in Mr Ramsbottom's appreciation of this fact.
He again went down to Liverpool, and at Mr Ramsbottom's advice prepared a letter to the board of directors, in which he resigned his seat, and gave his reasons for resigning it; adding that he should reserve to himself the liberty of publishing his letter, should at any time the circumstances of the railway company seem to him to make such a course desirable.
He had gone, and his conduct at the Board had been the result of the advice which he had received; but it may be doubted whether some dread of the coming interview with Mrs Hurtle had not added strength to Mr Ramsbottom's invitation. In Liverpool he had heard tidings of Mrs Hurtle, though it can hardly be said that he obtained any trustworthy information.
From what I hear Mr Ramsbottom's character is sufficiently good; but then you must do exactly what he tells you. But the Railway business, though it comprised all that Montague had in the world, was not the heaviest of his troubles. What was he to do about Mrs Hurtle?
I have reason to believe that he has been applied to by Ramsbottom to go to Tasmania, but this he declines to do under Ramsbottom's auspices. Of course I know nothing of the fish already in the rivers of Tasmania; for aught I know there may be fish in all those rivers quite as voracious and destructive as the Pike are here.
The lady after landing from an American steamer had been at Mr Ramsbottom's office, inquiring for him, Paul; and Mr Ramsbottom had thought that the inquiries were made in a manner indicating danger.
