Harkaway hung his head and sighed.
"That is not all, Dick," he said; "I have the direst presentiment upon me—"
"Presentiment!" ejaculated Dick, interrupting him.
"Well, Jack, I will not quarrel with you about presentiments, since I am urged on to what I am about to say and do by presentiments—only my presentiments are of the most hopeful description."
"Dick," said Harkaway, looking him straight in the face, "you are trying to deceive me."
"I swear I am not," retorted Harvey, with warmth. "And you shall soon see whether or not I am in earnest."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that I am going to fetch the boys."
"What wildness are you talking, Dick? What is this?"
"Simply that to-morrow at daybreak I shall start off on the search."
