"
Exactly
,
just
exactly
,
"
exclaimed
Glenarvan
.
"
You
see
,
then
,
my
Lord
,
"
continued
Ayrton
,
"
I
might
justly
say
,
If
Captain
Grant
is
alive
,
he
is
on
the
Australian
continent
,
and
it
is
useless
looking
for
him
anywhere
else
.
"
"
And
we
will
look
for
him
there
,
and
find
him
too
,
and
save
him
,
"
exclaimed
Paganel
.
"
Ah
,
precious
document
,
"
he
added
,
with
perfect
NAIVETE
,
"
you
must
own
you
have
fallen
into
the
hands
of
uncommonly
shrewd
people
.

But
,
doubtless
,
nobody
heard
his
flattering
words
,
for
Glenarvan
and
Lady
Helena
,
and
Mary
Grant
,
and
Robert
,
were
too
much
engrossed
with
Ayrton
to
listen
to
anyone
else
.
They
pressed
round
him
and
grasped
his
hands
.
It
seemed
as
if
this
man
's
presence
was
the
sure
pledge
of
Harry
Grant
's
deliverance
.
If
this
sailor
had
escaped
the
perils
of
the
shipwreck
,
why
should
not
the
captain
?
Ayrton
was
quite
sanguine
as
to
his
existence
;
but
on
what
part
of
the
continent
he
was
to
be
found
,
that
he
could
not
say
.
The
replies
the
man
gave
to
the
thousand
questions
that
assailed
him
on
all
sides
were
remarkably
intelligent
and
exact
.
All
the
while
he
spake
,
Mary
held
one
of
his
hands
in
hers
.
This
sailor
was
a
companion
of
her
father
's
,
one
of
the
crew
of
the
Britannia
.
He
had
lived
with
Harry
Grant
,
crossed
the
seas
with
him
and
shared
his
dangers
.
Mary
could
not
keep
her
eyes
off
his
face
,
rough
and
homely
though
it
was
,
and
she
wept
for
joy
.
Up
to
this
time
no
one
had
ever
thought
of
doubting
either
the
veracity
or
identity
of
the
quartermaster
;
but
the
Major
,
and
perhaps
John
Mangles
,
now
began
to
ask
themselves
if
this
Ayrton
's
word
was
to
be
absolutely
believed
.
There
was
something
suspicious
about
this
unexpected
meeting
.
Certainly
the
man
had
mentioned
facts
and
dates
which
corresponded
,
and
the
minuteness
of
his
details
was
most
striking
.
Still
exactness
of
details
was
no
positive
proof
.
Indeed
,
it
has
been
noticed
that
a
falsehood
has
sometimes
gained
ground
by
being
exceedingly
particular
in
minutiae
.
McNabbs
,
therefore
,
prudently
refrained
from
committing
himself
by
expressing
any
opinion
.
John
Mangles
,
however
,
was
soon
convinced
when
he
heard
Ayrton
speak
to
the
young
girl
about
her
father
.
He
knew
Mary
and
Robert
quite
well
.
He
had
seen
them
in
Glasgow
when
the
ship
sailed
.
He
remembered
them
at
the
farewell
breakfast
given
on
board
the
Britannia
to
the
captain
's
friends
,
at
which
Sheriff
Mcintyre
was
present
.
Robert
,
then
a
boy
of
ten
years
old
,
had
been
given
into
his
charge
,
and
he
ran
away
and
tried
to
climb
the
rigging
.

"
Yes
,
that
I
did
,
it
is
quite
right
,
"
said
Robert
.
He
went
on
to
mention
several
other
trifling
incidents
,
without
attaching
the
importance
to
them
that
John
Mangles
did
,
and
when
he
stopped
Mary
Grant
said
,
in
her
soft
voice
:
"
Oh
,
go
on
,
Mr.
Ayrton
,
tell
us
more
about
our
father
.
"
The
quartermaster
did
his
best
to
satisfy
the
poor
girl
,
and
Glenarvan
did
not
interrupt
him
,
though
a
score
of
questions
far
more
important
crowded
into
his
mind
.
Lady
Helena
made
him
look
at
Mary
's
beaming
face
,
and
the
words
he
was
about
to
utter
remained
unspoken
.
