Synopsis
Excerpt from Fugitive Anne
At the other side of the table, Opposite the Dane, and apparently interested too, in the affair of Mrs Bedo's locked door, stood an Australian black boy in European dress - that is, in a steward's dress of white linen, with a napkin in his hand for it had happened that Kombo, Mr and Mrs Bedo s aboriginal servant, had, with the permission of his master and mistress, taken the place of a Chinese boy, temporarily disabled by a malarial fever. These people were at the upper end of the saloon, near which was Mrs Bedo's cabin. At the lower end, the remaining passengers, with the purser and another steward, had congregated. The passengers were few; a Javanese shipping agent, a Catholic priest, a person connected with telegraphs, and two or three bushmen on their way back from Singapore or Europe, as the case might be. These were all waiting, with gaping mouths and open eyes, for the tragedy which they imagined would be disclosed.
For it was Openly suspected on board, that Mrs Bedo disliked and feared her husband.
Mr Bedo had been knocking violently at the cabin door, but no answer was returned. He was a coarse, powerful person, with an ill-featured face, a sinewy throat, and great, brawny hands. He had started in life as a bullock driver and was now a rich man, having struck gold In the early days Of Charters Towers Diggings - before, indeed, Charters Towers had become Officially established.
