OVER THE NEXT DAYS, THE TOWNS-
people were overwhelmed with news.
The gold, the boarders, everything had been a huge scam and now the two thieves were gone.
In their pockets all the money for the soil samples. Only one of them was caught, and that was Mr. Dunlop, who had been in cahoots with Nate.
Nathanael, however, had disappeared without a trace of the money, leaving Avonlea penniless.Everything had to go on in some way now. Amybella didn't leave the house much over the next few days, except to go to school or for a short ride. Her family was penniless themselves, as they had also invested $150.
Marcus was furious because of that and pushed Bella around, while taking his anger out on her mother.—
Gilbert and Sebastian, sat in a pub in Trinidad and drank the good household expenses. Gilbert received a rum and his friend a babash."Oh- oof. You sure that's not gonna kill you?" Gilbert said, squinting his eyes as he placed his glass on the table.
"No. That's what makes it so good. The danger!Got to taste death to feel alive, Blythe." The boy tried to reach for Bash's glass, but the man took it from him.
"Not for you, though, first-timer! Babash. Local delicacy, You'll be sprouting like a weed." Said the man and Gilbert leaned back in his chair.
"Man.. seeing the world. Trying new things. What could be better?" He asked, watching the people walking past them.
"Gold. And a girl waiting for you at home!" Bash replied and Gilbert rolled his eyes.
"What? You have a fancy house at home,
A blonde waiting for you and you'd rather shovel coal?" Asked his friend."She's not just a blonde," Gilbert said.
"And the gold.. I wouldn't say that Anne's the most reliable narrator." Gilbert said, staring at his hands.
"You're crazy. If I had a pretty girl back home, gold or no, I'd be out of here."
„And that's not the case with Amy. Last time I saw her, I got in a fight and yelled at her. She must hate me." Said the brunette boy, looking at his hands.
"Amy is it? She makes you smile and act like a mug, when you talk about her. Of course women get mad sometimes. Be a man." Bash said.
"I am a man." Gilbert said seriously.
"Only a boy can't admit he's gone over a lady." The man raised an eyebrow.
"Would a boy stare danger in the eye.. and swallow it." Gilbert reached for Bash's glass, who tried to stop him.
„Ey, No no!" But the boy had already drunk the contents of the glass.
The horrible taste spread through Gilbert's mouth and suddenly the boy felt terribly sick to the stomach. He stood up and ran to the entrance, where he threw up.
Sebastian laughed.
