They're a game gang, and 'hain't the most desirable kind of enemies one could wish for. I'll take you over to my coop, and you can lay low there until this jamboree blows over. You'll have to promise me one thing, however, ere I can admit you as a member of my household." "Certainly. What is it?" and Harry Redburn redoubled his efforts in order to keep alongside his swift-footed guide.
She did not answer, but the tell-tale blush that suffused her cheek did, for her. "It is Redburn!" he said, positively. "Very well; give him my congratulations. See, Alice;" here the young road-agent took the crape mask from his bosom; "I now resume the wearing of this mask. Your refusal has decided my future. A merry road-agent I have been, and a merry road-agent I shall die.
"I have been trying to make her give up the idea, but she has more courage than I ever gave her credit for," remarked Mrs. Redburn. "It's a shame for you to hurt your hands in this manner; but I dare say that they will soon get hard, like mine, with the labor," replied Mrs. Howard, as she threw off her hood and rolled up her sleeves. "Here, child, let me help you."
"I will place under the charge of Miss Anita for the present, where she will receive hospitable treatment." Fearless Frank started as though he had been struck a violent blow; his face grew very white; his eyes dilated; he trembled in every joint. "Anita!" he gasped "Anita!" "I believe that is what I said!" Redburn could not understand the youth's agitation.
It was clear that the latter gentleman viewed our new member as a kind of rival in the affections of Jack Redburn, and besides this, he had more than once hinted to me, in secret, that although he had no doubt Mr. Pickwick was a very worthy man, still he did consider that some of his exploits were unbecoming a gentleman of his years and gravity.
Simon Sneed, after parting with Katy, had felt a little uneasy in relation to the watch. He was jealous of his own good credit, for he foresaw that Katy could not very well avoid telling the mayor that he had been with her at the time of the unfortunate transaction. Besides, he did not exactly like the idea of Katy's going to the mayor at all. Katy Redburn going to see the mayor!
I feel reconciled to live or die, as God ordains." "Do not look on the dark side, mother," sobbed Katy. "Nay, child, I am looking on the bright side," returned Mrs. Redburn, faintly. "Everything looks bright to me now. Life looks bright, and I feel that I could be happy for many years with you, for you have been a good daughter.
"He was instantly killed, and left lying where he dropped!" There was a scream of agony, just here, and a heavy fall. Anita had fainted! Redburn sprung from his seat, ran over to her side, and raised her tenderly in his arms. "Poor thing!" he murmured, gazing into her pale, still face, "the shock was too much for her. No wonder she fainted."
"He is a bad man, mother; and I don't believe Mrs. Gordon knows what he does here." "There is one thing more we can do, Katy," continued Mrs. Redburn, wiping away her tears, and taking from under her pillow a heavy silver watch. "This was your father's; but we must sell it now. It is all we have left." "I should hate to have that sold, mother." "We must sell it, or pawn it."
The road-agents had, in the mean time, circled off to the right of the fissure, and formed into a compact body, where they halted and watched the rallying of the savages in the valley. Fearless Frank and his lovely companion remained where they had first halted, awaiting developments. They had stumbled into Paradise and were both surprised and bewildered. Redburn approached them first.
