I've been an unlucky devil all round.
Well there! I had to try and arrange things for an overdraft with the Bank in Leichardt's Town, but I went down chiefly to consult lawyers about the divorce question, so that it should be done with as little publicity and unpleasantness as possible.

It appeared that it could be done all right--as I wrote you.

What would have been the good of my havering in that letter over my own feelings and the bad times I had struck?
It never was my habit to whine over what couldn't be helped.
Luck was up against me down there too.

I got pitched off a buckjumper at a horse-dealers', Bungroopim way.

I had been 'blowing,' Australian fashion, that I could handle that colt if nobody else was able to.
