"Fwor fhy 'ud you go to Ahadarra?"
"It's more convenient, and quite as well adapted for it as this place,
or nearly."
"Well! Shiss, well?"
"Well; why that's all I have to say about it, except that I'm not to be
seen or known in the business at all--mark that."
"Shiss--well? De Hogans must know it?"
"I am aware of that; we couldn't go on without them. This running of
your's will soon be over; very well. You can go to Ahadarra to-morrow
and pitch upon a proper situation for a house. These implements will
do."
"No, dey won't; I wouldn't tink to begin at all wid dat ould skillet.
You must get de Hogans to make a new Still, Head and Worm, an' dat will
be money down."
"Very well; I'll provide the needful; let Philip call to me in a day or
two."
"Dat Ahadarra isn't so safe," said Teddy. "Fwhy wouldn't you carry it on
here?" and he accompanied the query with a piercing-glance as he spoke.
"Because," replied Hycy, "I have been seen here too often already, and
my name must not in any way be connected with your proceedings. This
place, besides, is now too much known. It's best and safest to change
our bob, Ted."
"Dere's trewt in dhat, anyhow," said the other, now evidently more
satisfied as to Hycy's motive in changing. "But," he added, "as you
is now to schange, it 'ud be gooder to shange to some better place nor
Ahadarra.
