22/26 Hayes commonly kept but a few guineas in the house. For what was he amassing all these? Hayes said he had but three guineas. And, when asked by Catherine where the money was that was paid the day before, said that it was at the banker's. "The man is going to fly," said Wood; "that is sure: if he does, I know him--he will leave his wife without a shilling." He watched him for several days regularly: two or three more bags were added to the former number. |
