Tide was getting slack now, but the Susan managed to get as far as Purfleet, and then dropped her anchor. "This is our last stopping place," Joe Chambers said. "The morning tide will carry us up to London Bridge." "Then you will not go on with tonight's tide?" Geoffrey asked.
"At three in the afternoon on Saturday?" asked Mr. Wright. "Yes, sir," Prescott nodded. "But will you have sufficient time to advertise, Mr. Wright?" "Plenty of time," replied the manager, "if I send my letters away by tonight's mail. I will advertise in a Gridley paper, and also in Preston and Trentville.
After tonight's adventure that hint is hardly needed, perhaps; but it is always well to be explicit. Now off with you." "I'm not tired. Can I be of any service?" "Yes. I want you to be ready for a long day's work in Miss Manning's interests. Mr. Furneaux and I may be busy elsewhere. Unquestionably we shall not be in Roxton; we may even be far from London. Miss Manning will want a friend.

Say, Dare, suppose I have somebody drive me in town to see you." "I'd like that, Blair." "You're on. And say, I've another idea. Tonight's the Junior Prom did you know that?" "No, I didn't." "Well, it is. Suppose we go up? My sister can get me cards.... I tell you, Dare, I'd like to see what's going on in that bunch. I've heard a lot and seen some things."
Tomorrow we'll both be brave enough, and we'll both KNOW there ain't any spirits here, or anywhere else this side of the grave; but tonight well, tonight's different. . . . Ouch! what was that? There, there! don't mind my jumpin'. I feel as if I'd been stuffed with springs, like a sofa. Did you ever know a night as long as this? Won't mornin' EVER come?"
Tell them Gungadhura wants no talk about tonight's work. Then come to Blaine sahib's house and search the cellar by lamplight, letting Chalmu the butler see you do it, but taking care not to let him see what you see. What you do see, leave where it lies! Then see Gungadhura early in the morning " "Lordy me, Your Ladyship, he'll " "No, he won't.
