Now, by an irony of fate, he was forced to have dealings with them again, dealings which he resented for more reasons than his antagonism to the institution, and dealings, moreover, which he was prepared to leave no stone unturned to bring to naught. He had placed Waroona Downs in the hands of Gale, the local auctioneer, for sale.
"You mean if if he is arrested?" "Yes." She lifted up her head and turned a tear-stained face towards him. "Have they found him? Have they? Is that why why I am asked to leave the house?" "No, Mrs. Eustace. A new manager will be appointed, and the house is wanted for him." "But I will not leave Waroona," she exclaimed, as she stood up. "I dare not leave it till I know.
When Durham, having walked in from Waroona Downs, arrived at the bank, he found the township in a state of excitement bordering on panic. The noise of the firing during the night had brought everyone who was awake at the time rushing to the scene.
It was in the days of the early gold finds, and Fortune showered on Dudgeon her compensation for the injury of Love. All that came to him he took and treasured, until he had enough for his purpose. Then he returned to Waroona, and set about exacting the full measure of his revenge upon the Lambtons.
I came back to Waroona in the morning intending to see you and hear what explanation you had to offer before taking any further steps. But you were not at the bank, and when I got there I was done up." The steady look in her eyes never changed. "Go on," she repeated. "I ask you now what explanation have you to offer?" "Please finish your story first," she replied. "Then I will tell you mine."
One never knows. He may even have been a friend of Durham's," Wallace said musingly. "Certainly something has upset him very much. You don't know what became of the papers he found, do you? The papers Mrs. Burke left with the Bank?" he added. "I know nothing about them, sir; but he told me to ride out to Waroona Downs the first thing in the morning and tell Mrs. Burke to come in and see you.
"It was not to tell you of that I was on my way to Waroona Downs," he replied. "Though I should probably have mentioned it." "Where was he found, Mr. Durham? I suppose he is arrested now?" All the raillery had gone from her voice, which had grown so sorrowful that he looked at her wonderingly. "He was not alive when he was found," he said quietly, still watching her.
You will have to hold the deeds of Waroona Downs instead." "We have those," Harding said quietly. "Oh, well then, it does not matter so much, though it is still very irregular, you know," Wallace replied. Durham stood up and turned to Harding. "You will tell Mrs. Eustace? Tell her I am more than sorry for her in her trouble, but she can console herself that she was right. Her husband was innocent.
The bank manager's; she was just outside the door listening, I'll be bound." "You are sure of that?" "Sure that she was listening? Well, isn't she a woman? What else would she be doing?" "That is all I want to ask you," he said quietly. She looked at him wonderingly. "All?" she asked. "You rode out from Waroona merely to ask me that bit of a question?" He nodded.
"Fred, I don't believe it. I can't believe it. Why did he run away if he were innocent? I will never rest until I know who the man Mr. Durham shot really was. Where is Mr. Durham?" "He has left Waroona, Jess. He told Brennan he could only report personally to his chief the truth about the man.
