"sir Clare it seems  this time ultimately we would catch canon"Clare is talking to his policeman.

Clare-"he and that woman are of no consequence!",the person i really want to catch is sir John Garfield ,there is something between me and him which generates so much hatred in me towards him.
that night outside turkshead inn-Garth-" where are you off to this night Tim?"
Tim- old Kent road Garfield  fat cat rich merchants for jewellery on the night coach ,i will have big fish in the net.
Garth- be careful Tim!....[Garth warns Tim as he sets off on his horse]
canon- don't worry Garth ,i can look after myself!
Tim waves goodbye to Garth and Catherine as he ride off in to the night.
Garth- Catherine you should persuade Tim to quit  this risky business of robbery, rohan wants to hang him so badly!
Catherine-you too ,,Garth he wants to hang you too he hates you!
Garth - i am not a bandit!clare can not harm me!
Catherine you  are  forgetting something, you do not belong to our time, people like Clare wield enormous powers in our times.
on old Kent road-
"no bandit will be out on the road on such a night!says the guard on the coach
"you speak in haste.... look over there! respond the wagon driver.

Tim waving a gun- o!stop this wagon! throw away that peashooter!
"do what he says  i think he is..he is Tim canon ,the best sharpshooter on dover street!"
"now gentlemen ....one by one throw your valuables,jewellery and moneybags to me!"

"i will deliver it Mr thatcher!"
thatcher greets his master tipping his hat.." good morning sir ,a good haul master canon?
canon - very good thatcher keep watch i am going inside to wake up my dear wife!
