I had to go to Leichardt's Town.

I had been thinking things out about Biddy all that time--you know I'm too much of the Scotchy to make hasty determinations.

Well, I had that Parliament Bill, allowing divorce after two years desertion in my head, from the day Biddy left me.

It seemed the best way out--for her.

I had heard about that fellow going Home in the same boat with her, and never guessed but that it was a concerted plan between them.
