ROBIN was naturally greatly astonished at Dick Farrant's erratic conduct, but it was a relief to find that the lad had gone; for, though he had told him of the robbery, he had had no intention of saying whom he believed to be the thief, and, very probably, he reflected, Dick would have asked him if he had any idea who had taken the money. Robin did not altogether dislike Dick, though he was fully alive to his bad qualities, which were indeed apparent to everyone. But Dick generally had a friendly greeting for his little neighbour on meeting him, and on more than one occasion he had interfered when Sam Brown had been bullying him. There was nothing cruel about Dick Farrant; but the good that existed in his character was overshadowed by so much that was evil that it very seldom shone forth.
