They had rum, oceans o' that, but it 'ud only make things worse. True, they mout a caught some o' the rain in their shirts and tarpaulins, as we did; but they weren't the sort to be careful o' it wi' a rum-cask standin' by; an' I dar say, by this time, though they may have some'at to eat, as you knows, Snowy, they'll be dyin' for a drop o' drink. In that case "
"It was stood over the pool, it was, and it turned round right upon me as I went up. I see the porkypine on his cheek, sir, as plain as anything." The same account as old Matthew's! "How was the person dressed?" asked Mr. Bourne. "Did you notice?" "It had got on some'at long a coat or a skirt, or some'at. It was as thin as thin, sir." "Dan, shall I tell you what it was as I believe?
"I beant one bit afeard of them two, but I am of that Mrs. Hargrave; and it crossed my mind, when I heerd her shrieking and squalling for you all, if I had not better put a bullet in her head just to silence her, only I did not for ould acquaintance sake, and I seed, by the sniggling of them oudacious monsters, as they meant to get some'at out of her.
"Why, about the old Colonel up at the Place, to be sure," said Dawlish, advancing his floury person towards the doorway in which stood the master's square, strong figure.

"Still thur wan't no sign o' the carryvan, an' arter hangin' the buck out o' reach o' the wolves, I tuk up my rifle, an' set out to rackynoiter the neighbourhood. "My mar bein' some'at jaded, I let her graze away, an' went afoot; an' that, let me tell you, strengers, ar about the foolichest thing you kin do upon a parairy. I wan't long afore I proved it; but I'll kum to that by 'm by.
"Wal, stranger," replied he, after a pause, "thur worth a good wheen o' dollars; but I shan't valley 'em myself. I'll leave that part o' the bizness to a third individooal my friend as stands thur; an' who's a just man, an's been some'at o' a lawyer too. He'll say what's fair atween us. Won't ye, Josh?"
