I brought it out sudden-like to Aileen before I could stop myself, but it was all true.

How we were to make the first start we couldn't agree; but we were bound to make another big touch, and this time the police would be after us for something worth while.

Anyhow, we could take it easy at the Hollow for a bit, and settle all the ins and outs without hurrying ourselves.
Our dart now was to get to the Hollow that night some time, and not to leave much of a track either.

Nobody had found out the place yet, and wasn't going to if we knew.

It was too useful a hiding-place to give away without trouble, and we swore to take all sorts of good care to keep it secret, if it was to be done by the art of man.
We went up Nulla Mountain the same way as we remembered doing when Jim and I rode to meet father that time he had the lot of weaners.
