"
Well, Sir, there was nothing for Bligh to do--the whole parish
staring at him--but to slip back into the shed and put on the clothes
my grandfather handed in at the door: and while he was dressing the
whole truth came out. I won't say that he took the Parson's
explanations in a nice spirit: for he vowed to have the law on
everyone concerned. But that night he walked back to Falmouth and
took the London coach. As for Helford River, 'twasn't charted that
year nor for a score of years after. And now you know how this creek
came by its name; and I'll say again, as I began, that a bad temper
is an affliction, whoever owns it.
