The gum creek on which we are now camped I have named Carruthers Creek, after John Carruthers, Esquire, of Adelaide. Calm. Saturday, 22nd June, Carruthers Creek. Proceeded to Tomkinson Creek, where I left the two horses; I will there rest the horses a day, and have those shod which I intend to take with me.
Steam was got up, and her head was put towards the shore; she slowly made her way back, so as to be as close in as possible, in the expectation that Mr Tomkinson would, seeing the change in the weather, pull off to meet her. The lead was kept going, that she might run no risk of getting into too shallow water.
Immediately after this employment in my own school-rooms I went to teach in the family of Mr. Tomkinson, an eminent attorney, ... and here I continued until seven in the evening. Twelve consecutive hours of teaching, less one hour for dinner! It was hardly necessary for Priestley to add that he had 'but little leisure for reading.
Moreover, she decided not to press her nephew to visit her at present. Next morning, Medenham was up betimes. He heard the early postman's knock, and Tomkinson in person brought the letters. "There's nothink in the name of Fitzroy, my lord," said he, having been warned in that matter overnight.
James Tomkinson as he trotted to the starting-post, and that was why everybody envied his rapid and victorious end. In his Tales from a Field Hospital, Sir Frederick Treves told of a soldier who was brought down from Spion Kop as a mere fragment, his limbs shattered, his face blown away, incapable of speech or sight.
"But Tomkinson told me," he interrupted. "Tomkinson. Is that your butler friend?" "Yes. He says the King's horse will win." "Surely the owner of Grimalkin must know more about the race than a butler?" "You would not think so, Miss Vanrenen, if you knew Tomkinson." "Where is he butler?" asked Mrs. Devar suavely. "I forget for the moment, madam," replied Medenham with equal suavity.
He remembered that Dale was sent to bed in the Green Dragon Hotel at eight o'clock, and he had not the least doubt that his father's ukase was really a dodge to secure an undisturbed dinner. But he was under no delusions because of this placid meeting in the breakfast-room. There was thunder in the air. Tomkinson had warned him of it overnight.
She was intensely surprised that he had given her so much more than she expected, and the first unworthy thought was succeeded by a second how dared this impudent chauffeur decline her bounty? Cynthia pouted at him. "Your Tomkinson is a fraud," she said. "Your Grimalkin was well named," said he. "That remark is very cutting, I suppose, Fitzroy." "Oh, no.
To the south, nothing but sand-hills and spinifex; to the North-East the Tomkinson Ranges showed up and looked very remarkable and promising. Marked a tree F 76, being 76th camp from Geraldton. Camp is in latitude 26 degrees 23 minutes 28 seconds, longitude about 128 degrees 32 minutes East. 21st. Left camp at Skirmish Hill in company with Windich, instructing my brother to follow to-morrow.
The inquiry, the search, the triumphant discovery, the telegraphing of the "information" and a sovereign to Tomkinson in Cavendish Square "five bob each way" for each of the two all these things took time, and time was very precious to Dale just then. Unhappily, time is often mute as to its value, and Bath is really quite close to Bristol.
