I am next accused of being an habitual gambler, an accusation which, if true, might easily account for the diffusion of the property.

Strona 352 - would be in it," — meaning what they (Hunt and John Thurtell) were about. Thurtell drove off from Tetsall's between four and five o'clock to take up a friend, as he said to Probert, " to be killed as he travelled with him :" an expression which Probert said at the time he believed to have been a piece of idle bravado.
