Mr. Dance could make nothing of the scene . `` They got the money , you say ? Well , then , Hawkins , what in fortune were they after ? More money , I suppose ? '' `` No , sir ; not money , I think , '' replied I. `` In fact , sir , I believe I have the thing in my breast pocket ; and to tell you the truth , I should like to get it put in safety . '' `` To be sure , boy ; quite right , '' said he . `` I 'll take it , if you like . '' `` I thought perhaps Dr. Livesey -- '' I began . `` Perfectly right , '' he interrupted very cheerily , `` perfectly right -- a gentleman and a magistrate . And , now I come to think of it , I might as well ride round there myself and report to him or squire . Master Pew 's dead , when all 's done ; not that I regret it , but he 's dead , you see , and people will make it out against an officer of his Majesty 's revenue , if make it out they can . Now , I 'll tell you , Hawkins , if you like , I 'll take you along . '' I thanked him heartily for the offer , and we walked back to the hamlet where the horses were . By the time I had told mother of my purpose they were all in the saddle . `` Dogger , '' said Mr. Dance , `` you have a good horse ; take up this lad behind you . '' As soon as I was mounted , holding on to Dogger 's belt , the supervisor gave the word , and the party struck out at a bouncing trot on the road to Dr. Livesey 's house . 6 The Captain 's Papers WE rode hard all the way till we drew up before Dr. Livesey 's door . The house was all dark to the front . Mr. Dance told me to jump down and knock , and Dogger gave me a stirrup to descend by . The door was opened almost at once by the maid .
