That silence was a bad thing for Verbitzsky and me, because the police heard the opening of the small side door through which Alexander next moment led. In a moment we dashed out into the clear night, over the tracks, toward the Petrovsky Gardens. As we reached the railway yard the police ran round their end of the wool-shed in pursuit ten of them. The others stayed with the prisoners.
I ain't so good at walking as I was before I was hurt. You should have remembered that, Mr. Heathcote, when you laid hands on me the other day." "You're not much the worse for what I did; nor yet for the accident, I take it. At any rate, you've not been at Gangoil wool-shed?" "No, I've not," said the man, roughly. "What the mischief should I be doing at your shed at night-time?"
Then Mary would say, 'Ah, well never mind, Joe. Wait till we are better off. But she felt it hard the time I built a wool-shed and didn't get paid for it, for we'd as good as settled about another second-hand buggy then. I always had a fancy for carpentering, and was handy with tools.
Accordingly, when night came and the shearers had knocked off work and had their supper, I got my share of rum in a tin pannikin and made a sign to Chowbok to follow me to the wool-shed, which he willingly did, slipping out after me, and no one taking any notice of either of us.
Harry Heathcote was very proud of the place, for he had made it all himself, having pulled down a wretched barrack that he had found there. But he was far prouder of his wool- shed, which he had also built, and which he regarded as first and foremost among wool-sheds in those parts. By-and-by we shall be called on to visit the wool-shed.
I had come upon a sort of Stonehenge of rude and barbaric figures, seated as Chowbok had sat when I questioned him in the wool-shed, and with the same superhumanly malevolent expression upon their faces. They had been all seated, but two had fallen. They were barbarous neither Egyptian, nor Assyrian, nor Japanese different from any of these, and yet akin to all.
You won't want me to go with you. Will you have the baggy?" But the ladies said that they would ride. The air was cooler now than it had been, and they would like the exercise. They would take Jacko with them to open the slip-rails, and they would be back by seven for dinner. So they started, taking the track by the wool-shed.
"We might have too much of this, Jacko." "My word! yes." "I don't want to have the Mary flooded again." "My word! no." But by the time they reached the wool-shed it was over. From the first drop to the last, there had hardly been a space of twenty minutes.
"The fellow who did that was an ass," said Harry; "a greater ass than I should have taken him to be, not to have known that if he could have gotten the grass to burn outside, the wool-shed must have gone without all that preparation. But there isn't much difficulty now in seeing what the fellow has intended." "Was it for a fire?" asked Kate. "Of course it was.
It is the only love-story in the family I don't except Rose's, because I don't call that a love-story which has had a happy ending." Down the middle of the big T-shaped wool-shed, in two rows of six pens each, with an aisle between them, the bleating sheep were massed.
