He considered that it was not above two or three hours when that letter was in his pocket, and that it must have fallen somewhere betwixt his father's house and the Minorca in that time, for he had taken the same road to and fro. He reflected that that road was but little used compared with the lane that led to the bridge where the Actons' carriage had stopped.

"Leg nuthin'!" Billy removed his hand from his trousers-pocket and waved something before two pairs of fear-widened eyes. The boys glanced at each other. "You tell him," whispered Billy, but Maurice shook his head. "No, you," he whispered back. A spasm of pain crossed the boy's face. "Like a man," he answered shortly. She looked up at him, tears filming the fire of anger in her eyes..
