CHAPTER EIGHT

He scanned every bush and gully with fearful eyes; he gave every thicket a wide berth, and every time he saw Hamish, and he saw him behind a thousand bushes and boulders, he shouted: "I'm Mr.Lambert from London, I'm not a spirit!" It was, indeed, a wasted and dirty money-lender who reached Tullispaith late in the day.
