"Don't you bother about the Dandy," he said; "bushmen have a sixth sense, and know a pal when they see one." Just a bushman's pretty speech, aimed straight at the heart of a woman, where all the pretty speeches of the bushfolk are aimed; for it is by the heart that they judge us.
She was more respectful than she had been of late, and made no attempts at smart, ill-natured speeches. "It's a weary life, Miss, this you're living here, isn't it?" said she.
