Like the day me and Monaghan discovered a bit of a
goldmineup in the hills.
It would bedangerous to disturb him, the doctor
said. All for runningaway and not being a ingyneer, wasnt you?

She smiled, pulled up a chair, and seated herself. Ida like to seen you do for a
whole tribeof black myall savages with the fever on you like he done.
There was a fire-place where we used tohang the
billy in the early days. My dear Harriet,you must remember that you cannot have your
cake and eat it too.
Ill have Foo serve it in your room in half an
hour.
She looked spoilt, a little, Jamescould not help
thinking, of the parvenue, a trifle vulgar. Harriet looked around the dark room for
the last timeand joined James at the door. James tried to fix his mind on solemn
thoughts proper to theoccasion, but it was difficult.
The old mans voice soared laughing and cracked high
up in abirdlike squeak of delight. He was nothing but bones and greenhide, and every
time I chuckedhim on he put the fire out.
Down in the settlement thedogs were howling. We had
a fight, MGovern and me, and heblinded me with his stock-whip. When she got her
breath again shesaid, Well, do what you like, but Im not going to wait

It tookfive Chinamen to carry him to his room and
lock him in.
I dont see how it couldhave been otherwise. So he
looked for an excuse to get him out of the way.
