At length the drove was reduced to one section; Trove following with the helper named Thurston Tilly, familiarly known as "Thurst." He was a tall, heavy, good-natured man, distinguished for fat, happiness, and singular aptitudes.
I never knew it was there, and gave the trove to Naboth as a direct gift from Heaven. He replied that I was the only legitimate Protector of the Poor he had ever known. Next morning he reappeared, a little fatter in the round, and curled himself into knots in the front verandah.
"Now there is the law that is for me alone," Darrel continued, looking up at the boys. "Others may eat pork or taste the red cup, or dally with hazards an' suffer no great harm not I. Good youths, remember, ill luck is for him only that is ignorant, neglectful, or defiant o' private law." "But suppose your house fall upon you," Trove suggested. "I speak not o' common perils," said the tinker.
Directly daylight comes, while yet the sun's Australian throne is vacant all hung about in cool, pearly draperies I slip a waterproof over my pyjamas, having first rolled up the legs of these garments and thrust my feet into rubber half-boots, and wander out across the verandah, down through the garden patch, over the road, with its three-inch coating of sandy dust, and into the bush beyond, where every tiny leaf and twig and blade of grass holds treasure trove and nutriment, in the form of glistening dewdrops.
"'Like as the waves make toward the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end. "Dear madam, they do hasten but to come as well as to go. Thanks an' au revoir." Darrel and Trove went away with the warden, who bade them sit a while in his office. Tinker and young man were there talking until the day was gone. The warden sat apart, reading.
Trove had planned to walk home that evening, but a storm had come, drifting the snow deep, and he had to forego the visit. After supper he went to the Sign of the Dial. The tinker was at home in his odd little shop and gave him a hearty welcome. Trove sat by the fire, and told of the sawing for Riley Brooke. "God rest him!" said the tinker, thoughtfully puffing his pipe.
That he should set aside with a careless hand that which meant so much to her, but made of him in her eyes a sort of superman. "The thing to do," said Kendric out of a short silence, "is to open your doors and let me go back to the States. I came here looking for treasure trove; your claim antedates mine and I am no highwayman."
The clerk fired upon him with a pistol, and thinks he wounded him in the left forearm. In their fight the robber struck him with a sling-shot, and he fell, and remembers nothing more until he came to in the dark alone. The skin was cut in little squares, where the shot struck him, and that is one of the strong points against you." "Against me?" said Trove. "Yes that and another.
Two bits two? All light! Empress, permit me to present this souvenir of a grateful people. Miss Waddington, have a shoe on me!" Eleanor hung the pink trifle to the pin at her throat. "I shall add it to the royal treasure trove," she said.
He sat long with them under the pine trees, and for the first time they saw and felt his strength and were as children before it. "It's all a school," said he, calmly. It's full of rather tough problems, but I'm not going to flunk or fail in it." The Spider Snares Trove and Spinnel were in Hillsborough soon after sunrise the morning of that memorable day.
