CHAPTER XXVII
22/23

'There's been something wrong as to the sale of that mine,' said the banker.

To him the effort made was even more difficult than to her;--as was right;--for she at any rate had been blameless.

Then the Boltons went away, as had been arranged, and also Uncle Babington while the men still remained.
'If you don't mind, squire, I'll take a turn with you,' said Crinkett at last; 'while Jack can sit anywhere about the place.' 'Certainly,' said Caldigate.
