By to-morrow night , at the latest , her troubles would be over . So thought Girdlestone too , as he sat down below , with his head bent upon his breast and his eyes looking moodily from under his shaggy brows at the glowing coals . To-morrow evening would settle the matter once and for ever . Burt and Ezra would be down by five o'clock , and that would be the beginning of the end . As to Burt 's future there was no difficulty about that . He was a broken man . If well supplied with unlimited liquor he would not live long to trouble them .
