“Well, I have made my mind up to take another turn at this,” and he tapped the side of the still with his stick; “and I'll try it there. I don't know a better place, and it is much more convenient than this.”
Teddy looked at him from under his brows, but seemed rather at a loss to comprehend his meaning.
“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.”
