Now at Florence we will take up the hunt.

It is a long way down there; and if they drive all the way, as I hope they will, it will take them a fortnight, so that we shall have gained a good deal of time on them.

The people at the station are sure to remember the three boxes that lay there for so long without being claimed.

Of course they may have driven only till they got fairly out of reach.

Then they may either have sold the horse and cart, or the fellow Pearson has with him may have driven it back.
