Our friends were in what they conceived to be proper miners' costume, but Mr. Crinkett knew at a glance that there was something uncommon about them. As they approached he did not attempt to open the gate, but awaited them, looking over the top of it from the inside.
'Yes, he said, in answer to some question from Crinkett; 'the property round here is not exactly mine, but my father's. 'They tell me as it's yours now? said Crinkett. 'You haven't to learn to-day that in regard to other people's concerns men talk more than they know. The land is my father's estate, but I live here. 'And him? asked Adamson. 'He lives in Cambridge.
But all that his father said seemed to him to be true, so that he repented himself of what he had done. He made no inquiry on the subject, but, early in May he heard from Mr. Seely that Crinkett and the woman were still in London, and that they had abandoned the idea of going at once to Australia. According to Mr.
They were simply picking down the rock, in doing which they were assisted by gunpowder. With keen eyes Crinkett searched along the roof and sides, and at last showed to his companions one or two little specks which he pronounced to be gold. 'When it shows itself like that all about, you may guess whether it's a paying concern!
Crinkett also and Adamson followed them into the room, each of whom had made a deposition on the matter. 'Is this the Mr. Caldigate, said the mayor, 'whom you claim as your husband? 'He is my husband, said the woman. 'He and I were married at Ahalala in New South Wales. 'It is false, said Caldigate. 'Would you wish to see her face? asked the mayor. 'No; I know her voice well.
And so they took their hats and went off, and Jack Adamson was left 'sitting anywhere' about the place. Tom Crinkett at Folking Caldigate thought that he had better take his companion where there would be the least chance of encountering many eyes.
As to Crinkett and Smith and them others, we saw that they were ruffians. We never doubted that. But we saw as there was a bad time coming to you, Mr. John. Then we was unhappy; unhappy along of you, Mr. John, but a'most worse as to this dear lady and the boy. 'My missus cried that you wouldn't have believed, said Mr. Purvidge.
'I've come across some of 'em precious mean, continued Crinkett; 'but a meaner skunk nor this estated gent, who is a justice of the peace and a squire and all that, I never did come across, and I don't suppose I never shall. And then they stood looking at him, jeering at him. And the gardener, who was then in the front of the house, heard it all.
The seat on which Crinkett had placed himself was one usually occupied by parish boys at the end of the row of appropriated seats and near to the door. Less than half-a-dozen yards from it, at the other side of the way leading up the church, stood the font, so that the stranger was almost close to Caldigate when he turned. They were so near that others there could not but have observed them.
He could not bring himself to betray the fear which would become evident if he spoke of the woman. 'I think you had better go to my lawyer, he said. 'We don't want no lawyering. The plunder is yours, no doubt. Whether you'll have so much law on your side in other matters, that's the question. Crinkett did not in the least understand the state of his companion's mind.
