"Yes; we thought we'd put in time until the Hall opens again." "I heard it had been closed. Too bad! If you are going to Santa Barbara, you must call and see me by all means," went on Bob Sutter. "To be sure we will," said Tom, and his brothers nodded. "We were going down there now to call on the Stanhopes," said Dick. "They have come here for the benefit of Mrs.
"Oh, they will, rest assured of that," came from Stanley Browne. "The head jailer will get a raking over the coals for this, mark my words." "The Stanhopes and the Lanings will be sorry to learn that Crabtree got away," said Sam. "I wonder if they aren't searching for him," mused Sam. "Oh, they'll search for all of them," put in Songbird.
"I don't want him around," retorted the elder Rover, growing red in the face. "He wants the Stanhopes' money and that's all he does want. I don't believe he really loves Mrs. Stanhope." "But why does she encourage him?" came from Sam. "Why don't she send him about his business?"
The archdeacon was inclined to look upon the Stanhopes with favourable eyes, and had nothing to object on the matter. It was therefore arranged that Mr Harding should postpone his visit to Plumstead for one day, and then take with him Eleanor, the baby, and the nurse. Mr Slope is certainly becoming of some importance in Barchester.
Arabin could talk about nothing but the Signora Neroni's beauty, would discuss no people but the Stanhopes. This was very distressing to Eleanor and not very satisfactory to Miss Thorne. But yet there was evidence of innocence in his open avowal of admiration. And then they had lunch, and then Mr. Arabin went out on parish duty, and Eleanor and Miss Thorne were left to take a walk together.
It can readily be imagined that the Stanhopes and Lanings awaited their coming with interest. "What success, Dick?" cried Dora eagerly. "Not so very much as yet," he answered, soberly, for he hated to disappoint the girl who was so dear to him. And then he told her of all that had happened. She shuddered when she found he had been a prisoner of Sid Merrick and his followers.
The more the Rover boys talked about the treasure hunt the more enthusiastic they became, until, as Tom expressed it, they were "simply boiling over with enthusiasm." "It will be a grand thing for the Stanhopes and the Lanings if we do locate that treasure," said Sam. "Mr. Laning has some money, but I know he'd like more, so he wouldn't have to farm quite so hard."
They may need you here on Sam's account." Dick was soon on the way, riding another horse, for the Stanhopes now kept two. He had had a fine dinner, and felt in the best of spirits, despite the disagreeable task before him. He did not doubt for a moment but that Captain Putnam would side with him and condemn the actions of Jasper Grinder.
"If he does that he'll get beaten. Father says the treasure belongs to the Stanhope estate and to nobody else." "No, he didn't say he was going to court about it, but he said he was bound to get hold of it some day." "I hope he doesn't try to get it by force," said Sam. "That would mean trouble for the Stanhopes and the Lanings." "The money is in the banks now, Sam," said Dick.
"Only a bit of Larry's sport," said Frank. "Come in, the captain wants to give you some supper before you start out for the Stanhopes' place." Never suspecting that anything was wrong, Aleck Pop entered the kitchen attached to the academy, where Mrs. Green, the matron, had a nice supper spread for him. "How do you do, Aleck," she said pleasantly, as he came in.
