Before parting, Dunwoodie repeated his caution to keep a watchful eye on the inmates of the cottage; and especially enjoined him, if any movements of a particularly suspicious nature were seen in the neighborhood, to break up from his present quarters, and to move down with his party, and take possession of the domains of Mr. Wharton.
Távozása előtt Dunwoodie ismételten a lelkére kötötte, hogy tartsa szemmel az Akácost, s ha bármiféle gyanús jelenséget tapasztalna a közelben, hagyja ott állomáshelyét és szállja meg Mr. Wharton birtokát.
