If I too were not clever, how would I know to send you this news, how would I know that it will make you glad?
But there, you will go your way.

I know it! "Now for the news! Monty, as I cabled (I send the bill) has gone secretly to London.

Since Scarlett Trent found our Hausa friend and the rum flask, there have been no means of getting liquor to him, so I suppose he has very near regained his senses, anyhow he shipped off very cunning, not even Missionary Walsh knowing, but he made a very big mistake, the news of which I send to you knowing it will be good.
Hiram, he stole the money to pay for his passage from the missionary's cash-box! All one day he stood under a tree looking out to sea, and a steamer from Capetown called, and when he heard the whistle and saw the surf boats he seemed to wake up.

He walked up and down restlessly for a long time, muttering to himself.

Mrs.Walsh came out to him and he was still staring at the steamer.
