One would think that I had done something wrong in coming forward to tell what I know. The deposition, however was drawn out in due form, at considerable length, and was properly attested before one of the London magistrates. Dick Shand Goes To Cambridgeshire The news of Shand's return was soon common in Cambridge. The tidings, of course, were told to Mr.
"How about the cook?" demanded Husky thickly. "Hell, he ain't in this game!" said Jack indifferently. "He goes outside with the losers." "I'm damned if I'll stand for it!" cried Joe excitedly. "It's only a chance! It doesn't settle anything. The best man's got to win!" "You fools!" growled Shand. "How will you settle it with guns? Is it worth a triple killing?"
"Ice or no ice, to-morrow we move on from here!" "I never believed in in nothing of the kind," growled Shand. "But this beats all!" "We never should have stopped here," said Husky. "It looked bad a deserted shack, with the roof in and all. Maybe the last man who lived here was mur done away with!" Young Joe was beyond speech.
He still had those large eyes clear before him, and was still fixed in his resolution to come back for them when some undefined point of his life should have passed by. 'Now, said Dick Shand, as they were seated together in a third-class railway carriage on the following morning, 'now I feel that I am beginning life. 'With proper resolutions, I hope, as to honesty, sobriety, and industry.
That wise subaltern promptly conducted him to Captain Mackintosh, who was waiting with his Company for something to go upon. Shand had departed with his own following to make an independent attack on the right flank. Seven of the twelve scouts were there.
'Pretty well, as far as fine times go on board ship. Is there anything against it? 'Oh, no, not that I know of. I started the hare; if you choose to run it I have no right to complain, I suppose. 'I don't know anything about the hare, but you certainly have no right to complain because I have been talking to Mrs. Smith; unless indeed you tell me that you are going to make her Mrs. Shand.
What do you think you're going to do so big? She's given us an answer sooner than we expected, that's all. If she prefers a cook to a man, that's her affair. All we got to do is shut up. I'm going back to the shack." They would not confess the reasonableness of Jack's words. "Go where you like," muttered Shand. "I'll stick by myself." Jack strode back along the path.
'That I cannot tell. Bolton, as he said this, prepared himself for a sudden attack; but Shand had sense enough to know that he would injure the cause in which he was interested, as well as himself, by any exhibition of violence, and therefore left the office. 'No, said Mr. Bromley, when all this was told him; 'he is not a cruel man, nor dishonest, nor even untrue to his sister.
"If she's got the sense I credit her with I'm not afraid of you." "Fat chance you have! Twice her age!" snarled Joe. "I take my chance," returned Big Jack calmly. "Already I feel better since I thought of putting it up to her. Whichever man she chooses can draw his share out of the concern, and go on with her. Husky speaks first, me second, Shand third, and Joe last or we can match for chances."
What had she up her sleeve now? he wondered. While he could scarcely regard Jack, Shand, and Joe in the light of deliverers, his galled pride forbade him to put himself in her hands again. He suddenly made up his mind. "Go ahead!" he said harshly. "Go anywhere you like! I stay here!" Bela changed colour, and a real fear showed in her eyes. She moved toward him involuntarily.
