Guy sould hardly restrain his astonishment and surprise. He had
come, then, to dig! Oh, incredible! impossible!
But at any rate this settled his own immediate movements. Guy's
mind was made up at once. If Granville Kelmscott was going to dig
at Dutoitspan--why, clearly Dutoitspan was no place for HIM. He
could never stand the continual presence of the one man in South
Africa who knew his deadly secret. Come what might he must leave
the neighbourhood without a moment's delay. He must strike out at
once for the far interior. As he paused, Granville Kelmscott turned
round and saw him. Their eyes met with a start. Each was equally
astonished. Then Granville rose slowly from his seat, and murmured
in a low voice, as he regarded him fixedly--
"You here again, Mr. Billington! This is once too often. I hardly
expected THIS. There's no room here for both of us."
And he strode from the saloon, with a very black brow, leaving Guy
for the moment alone with the barman.
CHAPTER XXXII.
A NEW DEPARTURE.
A fortnight later, one sultry afternoon, Granville Kelmscott found
himself, after various strange adventures and escapes by the way,
in a Koranna hut, far in the untravelled heart of the savage Barolong
country.
