You won't never be demeaned by that marriage, my man." With these words Dent left his companion; he had managed to comfort him a good deal, and he was certainly by no means depressed himself. "Nothing could please me better," he muttered. "The thing's moving at last.
"The world has damaged you thus and thus you will be," it conveyed tacitly with those eyes and then by it or from subconscious thought he knew that it was a dent or crack in an item that gave it its feature even if the ungainly shape would lead it to be easily dropped from a maladroit grasp and break asunder into myriad fragments. Yes, he felt alone, with his cracked past he was doomed.
"To find Bet," said Will. "She mustn't wed that feller. Thank the good God she can't for a few days; but time passes, and Dent may have her safe in his clutches afore I know.
"I've arranged for the first dent in Gresham and Collaton," he announced, and outlined the program which later on was carried out to the letter. "I've fixed to have some valuable property placed in Collaton's name, with Gresham as security. When that is done I want you to go to Jacobs and play a mean trick on him. Make him serve that attachment on Collaton's ostensible property.
The three boys discussed the subject from all sides, but could come to no solution of the mystery. That the men had referred to Frank, Ned was sure, and his chums partly agreed with him. "Of course there are a number of boys named Frank," said Bart. "But when they spoke of Frank's uncle, Mr. Dent, it must be they meant our Frank." "There's another thing," spoke Ned.
Jack stood still and looked round for their enemies. There was no sign of a Kachin to be seen. One had dropped into the river, and the current had certainly carried him away; the others had escaped into the jungle which grew thickly within a short distance of the bridge head. "By Jingo!" cried Jim Dent blankly, as he ran up. "The bridge has gone. We're in a pretty fix." "Gone," echoed Buck.
Mother Bunch having overheard him and Dent as they laid their plans together in the Star and Garter was an awkward circumstance. The whole thing looked ugly. He wished he were out of it. More particularly as he had never received any of Dent's promised gold. It behoved him, howe'er, to be careful, on no account must he betray himself or his fears to this astute daughter.
The 'Good Queen Anne' is quite to my mind time for sailing, length of voyage all just what I wants. I'll give you ten pound if you'll drop that berth of yours in my favor. There I can't speak fairer than that." All the time Dent was speaking Will had walked on stoically.
The massive walls of the convent were a welcome sight as I waded through the snow-beds near the summit of the pass, and pleasant also was the courteous salutation of the brother who bade me enter. Instead of descending to Aosta, I turned into the Val Pelline, in order to obtain views of the Dent d'Erin.
Dent soon made terms with the girl who was to accommodate Bet with half her room. Her terms were half-a-crown a week, which Dent offered to provide. Bet, however, scowled at him. "None o' that" she said. "I ain't your wife yet and I can't be, neither, thank goodness, for a fortnight. Jenny here says I may go round with her and help her to hawk her basket.
