Was there any robbery?" "I have not heard." "If so, it would, of course, be against the first hypothesis and in favour of the second. Moriarty may have been engaged to engineer it on a promise of part spoils, or he may have been paid so much down to manage it. Either is possible. But whichever it may be, or if it is some third combination, it is down at Birlstone that we must seek the solution.
"But, dear master," said Moriarty, interrupting, "it's a folly to talk I'll not tell you a word more of myself till you hear the news I have for you. The worst news I have to tell you is, there is great fear of the breaking of Sir Ulick's bank!" "The breaking of Sir Ulick's bank? I heard from him the day before yesterday."
Priestley had started an hour before, bound for Nalrooka, with the remaining half of his load. All the Levites, except Moriarty, were out on the run, but Martin, the head boundary rider, had timed himself for lunch. This man's status was a vexed question. He certainly rated but did he rate high enough for the barracks?
The sooner the better to-morrow, if you can." It scarcely need be said, that this invitation was most cordially accepted. Next day Ormond was to leave the Black Islands. Sheelah was in despair when she found he was going: the child hung upon him so that he could hardly get out of the house, till Moriarty promised to return for the boy, and carry him over in the boat often, to see Mr. Ormond.
"That's true: come off, then let's enjoy the fine day sent us; and my gun, too I forgot; for I do believe, Harry, I love you better even than my gun," said the warm-hearted Corny. "Call Ormond. Moriarty; let us have him with us he'll enjoy it beyond all: one of the last day's shooting with his own Prince Harry! but, poor fellow, we'll not tell him that."
The moment Marcus saw Moriarty Carroll again, and heard his name mentioned, he exclaimed and reiterated, "That's a bad fellow I know him of old all those Carrolls are rascals and rebels." Marcus looked with a sort of disdainful spleen at the house which Ormond had fitted up for Moriarty. "So, you stick to this fellow still!
"That's a fine car," said the sergeant. "It is," said Moriarty, "as fine a one as ever I seen." "The man that owns it will be a high up man," said the sergeant. "He will," said Moriarty. The sergeant looked into the car. He gazed at the steering-wheel with interest. He glanced intelligently at the levers. His eyes rested finally on a speedometer.
Her hair was still in a pig-tail, and her skirt was far from covering the tops of her boots; but she had a precocious understanding of the art of looking at a man out of the corners of her eyes. Moriarty was agreeably thrilled by her glance. "Is it the pig you're going to feed?" he asked. "It is," said Mary Ellen.
"Gosh, yes!" replied Moriarty nervously. "I wonder what brings him from that direction? Come, Collins will you give me five to one he has letters for you? I'll take it at that." "Indeed you won't, sonny." "Well, let's have some wager before he gets any nearer," persisted Moriarty, with an unpleasant laugh. The suspense was beginning to tell upon a mind not originally cast in the Stoic mould.
"If they are caught, there'll be a row." "We must catch 'em," said Moriarty. Like O'Hara, he revelled in the prospect of a disturbance. O'Hara and he were going up to Aldershot at the end of the term, to try and bring back the light and middle-weight medals respectively.
