Here
,
my
child
,
"
he
said
to
Toline
,
"
take
this
book
and
keep
it
.
You
have
a
few
wrong
ideas
about
geography
,
which
it
would
be
well
for
you
to
rectify
.
I
will
give
you
this
as
a
keepsake
from
me
"
Toline
took
the
book
silently
;
but
,
after
examining
it
attentively
,
he
shook
his
head
with
an
air
of
incredulity
,
and
could
not
even
make
up
his
mind
to
put
it
in
his
pocket
.
By
this
time
night
had
closed
in
;
it
was
10
P.
M.
and
time
to
think
of
rest
,
if
they
were
to
start
betimes
next
day
.
Robert
offered
his
friend
Toline
half
his
bed
,
and
the
little
fellow
accepted
it
.
Lady
Helena
and
Mary
Grant
withdrew
to
the
wagon
,
and
the
others
lay
down
in
the
tent
,
Paganel
's
merry
peals
still
mingling
with
the
low
,
sweet
song
of
the
wild
magpie
.
But
in
the
morning
at
six
o'clock
,
when
the
sunshine
wakened
the
sleepers
,
they
looked
in
vain
for
the
little
Australian
.
Toline
had
disappeared
.
Was
he
in
haste
to
get
to
the
Lachlan
district
?
or
was
he
hurt
by
Paganel
's
laughter
?
No
one
could
say
.
But
when
Lady
Helena
opened
her
eyes
she
discovered
a
fresh
branch
of
mimosa
leaves
lying
across
her
,
and
Paganel
found
a
book
in
his
vest
pocket
,
which
turned
out
to
be
"
Richardson
's
Geography
.
"
ON
the
2d
of
January
,
at
sunrise
,
the
travelers
forded
the
Colban
and
the
Caupespe
rivers
.
The
half
of
their
journey
was
now
accomplished
.
In
fifteen
days
more
,
should
their
journey
continue
to
be
prosperous
,
the
little
party
would
reach
Twofold
Bay
.
They
were
all
in
good
health
.
All
that
Paganel
said
of
the
hygienic
qualities
of
the
climate
was
realized
.
There
was
little
or
no
humidity
,
and
the
heat
was
quite
bearable
.
Neither
horses
nor
bullocks
could
complain
of
it
any
more
than
human
beings
.
The
order
of
the
march
had
been
changed
in
one
respect
since
the
affair
of
Camden
Bridge
.
That
criminal
catastrophe
on
the
railway
made
Ayrton
take
sundry
precautions
,
which
had
hitherto
been
unnecessary
.
The
hunters
never
lost
sight
of
the
wagon
,
and
whenever
they
camped
,
one
was
always
placed
on
watch
.
Morning
and
evening
the
firearms
were
primed
afresh
.
It
was
certain
that
a
gang
of
ruffians
was
prowling
about
the
country
,
and
though
there
was
no
cause
for
actual
fear
,
it
was
well
to
be
ready
for
whatever
might
happen
.
It
need
hardly
be
said
these
precautions
were
adopted
without
the
knowledge
of
Lady
Helena
and
Mary
Grant
,
as
Lord
Glenarvan
did
not
wish
to
alarm
them
.
They
were
by
no
means
unnecessary
,
however
,
for
any
imprudence
or
carelessness
might
have
cost
the
travelers
dear
.
Others
beside
Glenarvan
were
on
their
guard
.
In
lonely
settlements
and
on
stations
,
the
inhabitants
and
the
squatters
prepared
carefully
against
any
attack
or
surprise
.
Houses
are
closed
at
nightfall
;
the
dogs
let
loose
inside
the
fences
,
barked
at
the
slightest
sound
.
Not
a
single
shepherd
on
horseback
gathered
his
numerous
flocks
together
at
close
of
day
,
without
having
a
carbine
slung
from
his
saddle
.
