"Do you propose to follow and stop him?"
"If he really means it."
"He may not. He will ride at night. He is often out as late."
"Going and coming about the same time?"

"Then his courage must have failed him hitherto, and it probably will again."
"But if not!"
"I will cure him. But I must go at once. I have a horse not far away. I will gallop and meet the coach; if it is still safe, as you may be sure it will be, I shall scour the country for your son. I can tell him a fresh thing or two about Stingaree!"
"God bless you!"
"Leave him to me."
