"Ye'll be back sometime?"
"Yes, I'll look you up in a few days. Maybe you'll have opened up the show a bit by then. Well, good night."
"Good night, Mr. Power."
"Good night, Mr. Power."
"So long, Mister."
CHAPTER VI The Coach comes to Surprise
Next day Power kept his promise, and rode into Surprise as soon as he could. He let go the horse in a yard, and tramped the stony stretch which lies before the house. Outside the accountant's office he came across Mr. Neville and Maud. He heard Maud's cry, "Well done, Jim," and the old man waved a stick in the act of pouncing on a passer by. Maud came up in great glee.
"How quick you've been. I was not expecting you till sunset."
