At length, however, there was a pause for want of something to talk about, and some one asked who 'd " spin a yarn;" and then he thought of it. '* I didn't tell you yet," he said, " what Dubbo's been telling me, Martin. You know what we heard the other day about your old cove's farm being likely to get into the hands of the sheriff? Dubbo says he heard to-day at the township, that the old chap himself is gone off down the road like mad ; and there 's been a council of war among the women, and t...hey 've sent off a messenger post- haste for that long countryman of yours; and the letter was in Miss Kitty's hand-writing. What do you think of that? There must be something up now that's not easy, and no joke." " I '11 lay any money," said Morgan, " they 've sent to the Corn-stalk to lend 'em the money ; else they want him to buy the farm himself. I^on't you DENUNCIATION. 123 remember, Martin, what we heard of his saying to the men directly after you and I started — that he wouldn't see the old man beat, whatever it might cost him, because he showed him the farm ?" Hitherto the Black had said nothing : his choler at the prospect that arose before him, aggravated as it was by the recollections of the past, drove the blood into his head with such vehemence, that, but for the hissing within his ears he was deaf, and blind but for the sheets of flame that flashed before his eyes.
