I thought I had grasped the outlines of that personality in the first interview, as we often do on forming a new acquaintance; but surprises were yet in store for me. Aunt Rennie needed but little pressing to stay the night, and then to add a second and a third day to her visit: she was staying with some friends in the neighbourhood, and, it appeared, could easily transfer herself to us.
The last thing he wanted to see was Hunt Rennie ride away. Anse kicked earth over the fire when they were gone. "No use showin’ smoke," he remarked, and Drew readily agreed. The horses, with the exception of Shiloh, were hobbled and allowed the restricted freedom of the pocket-sized meadow running back from the water hole. Anse and Drew divided the night into two-hour watches.
Ten o'clock came, and at half-past ten Proctor and two other men went out of the office each with a £1 note in his pocket, and with orders to proceed to Melbourne by steamer, and there join the barque Kate Rennie. Before the steamer left for Melbourne, Proctor had parted with half of his pound for another man's discharge. He did not want to be known as Proctor of the Bandolier if he could help it.
Odd that Cousin Merry had been so reticent, too. But Drew had pieced out that something big and ugly must have happened to begin all the painful tangle which had led from his grandfather's cold hatred for Hunt Rennie, that hatred which had been transferred to Hunt Rennie's son when the original target was gone.
"I got Drew Rennie here." The call was one of desperation. "Yeah, hear that? Drew Rennie—th’ Old Man’s son.... I read them letters he had—it’s th’ truth! You come t’ take me an’ he gits a knife clean across his throat. I want me a hoss, water, an’ an open road south. Do I git ’em—or does Mister High an’ Mighty Rennie git him a son who ain’t speakin’ no more?" "Johnny? Is that you, Johnny?"
"Oh, my God, Williams, the line has parted. Boat ahoy, there, where are you?" And then with a droning hum the squall smote the Kate Rennie with savage fury, and nearly threw her over on her beam ends; and Proctor the Drunkard slewed the boat round and let her fly before the hissing squall towards the dimmed outline of Bougainville.
Dropping some coins on the table, he rose and started back to the stable, to the world of Shiloh and Shadow where he was unable to betray Drew Rennie. But there was so much Drew Kirby must learn—and soon! Two lighted lanterns hung from pegs along the center of the stable, and Callie had mounted a barrel to put up a third as Drew entered.
George Rennie, the then president of the mechanical section of this association, that the invention was, at that early stage of its development, thus prominently brought forward; and when the author reflects on the amount of labor and expenditure of time and money that were found to be still necessary before any commercial results from the working of the process were obtained, he has no doubt whatever but that, if the paper at Cheltenham had not then been read, the important system of manufacture to which it gave rise would to this hour have been wholly unknown."
This may just be a rumor, but it is necessary to scout in that direction anyway." "You want me to find out about the funds and the river crossin' near there?" "It's up to you, Rennie. Hart's willin' to ride with you." "I'll go." He thought the bank plan was a wild one, but they did have to have a safe route to the river. "You'll move out as soon as possible.
They were part of someone’s personal library—had no bookplate, though." "And what was Stein’s story concerning them?" "An old prospector named Lutterfield found them in a trunk in some cave he located out in the desert country. He brought them in to trade for supplies." "Lutterfield," Rennie repeated thoughtfully. "Yes, that could be." "Trunk in a cave?" Herrera was skeptical.
