It is very doubtful if you will be disturbed in any rights you may have, but if you are, the Government will not fail to make it good to you." He turned carelessly to the aide beside him.

"I suppose the bluff is quite inaccessible from here ?" "I don't know about that, general.

They say that Marion, after he killed Henderson, escaped down this way," said the young man.
"Indeed, what good was that?
How did he get away from here ?" "They say that Mrs.Fairfax was hanging round in a boat, waiting for him.

The story of the escape is all out now." They moved away with a slight perfunctory bow to Mrs.Bunker, only the younger officer noting that the pert, pretty little Western woman wasn't as sharp and snappy to his superior as she had at first promised to be.
She turned back to the cottage astounded, angry, and vaguely alarmed.
Who was this Mrs.Fairfax who had usurped her fame and solitary devotion?
There was no woman in the boat that took him off; it was equally well known that he went in the ship alone.

If they had heard that some woman was with him here--why should they have supposed it was Mrs.Fairfax?
Zephas might know something--but he was away.
