Something big to tell you." Carl kicked up the snow in moon-shot veils. The lake boomed. For all their woolen mittens, ribbed red-cotton wristlets, and plush caps with ear-laps, the cold seared them. Carl encouraged Ben to discourse of Gertie and the delights of a long and hopeless love. He discovered that, actually, Ben had suddenly fallen in love with Adelaide Benner. "Gee!" he exulted.
Adelaide joined a group, who were talking at the top of their voices, with most hilarious countenances. "They pretend to have a Murillo here, let us go and find it," said Ben. It was in a small room.
The PERTH GAZETTE of that time, indulges in a short article, which reads ludicrously like an extract from the EATANSWILL GAZETTE: "Overland from King George's Sound, we have received papers from Adelaide, the mail having been obligingly conveyed by Dr. Harris. In these papers we find the proposal to open a communication between this and South Australia.
I began with a comparison between Melbourne and Sydney, towns of 280,000 and 220,000 inhabitants respectively.
