Robbery Under Arms

CHAPTER 13
5/27

But about there being warrants out, with descriptions, in all the colonies, for a man to be identified, but generally known as Starlight, and for Richard and James Marston, we were as certain as that we were in St.Kilda, in a nice quiet little inn, overlooking the beach; and what a murder it was to have to leave it at all.
Leave the place we had to do at once.

It wouldn't do to be strollin' about Melbourne with the chance of every policeman we met taking a look at us to see if we tallied with a full description they had at the office: 'Richard and James Marston are twenty-five and twenty-two, respectively; both tall and strongly built; having the appearance of bushmen.

Richard Marston has a scar on left temple.

James Marston has lost a front tooth,' and so on.

When we came to think of it, they couldn't be off knowing us, if they took it into their heads to bail us up any day.
