CHAPTER XXIII
Next morning Ruth did not refer to the episode on the sands of the lagoon. She romanticized, imagining a life on
the High Seas. "The worst house in the neighbourhood—the constant haunt of reprobates and
thieves," groaned Wood. ’
‘Oh, that tragic pair,’ uttered her ladyship in saddened tones. "Come and see the lagoon in the moonlight. Sebastian had known it was coming, but
he could not avoid sleeping as easily as she could. It took
my breath away. The next instant, he was launched into eternity!
Scarcely had he been turned off a moment, when a man with swarthy features
leapt into the cart with an open clasp-knife in his hand, and, before he could be
prevented, severed the rope, and cut down the body. "
"'The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer'," said Wood, who was
culling for himself certain texts from the scriptures.
