Each was wrapped in a buffalo robe, so that the long ride was not unpleasant. A meeting was to be held, and a decision made as to the location of the seminary, which, at last, was actually to be built. After a long conference, South Hadley was chosen, ten miles south of Amherst.
As Amherst came out of the hospital, he heard Miss Brent declining a seat in Westy's phaeton. "Thank you so much; but there's some one here I want to see first one of the operatives and I can easily take a Hanaford car." She held out her hand with the smile that ran like colour over her whole face; and Westy, nettled by this unaccountable disregard of her privileges, mounted his chariot alone.
The differences, however, are rarely as great as between the males.

Bradstreet, however, with seven hundred Massachusetts men and eleven hundred New Yorkers, crossed Lake Ontario and took Port Frontenac, the garrison fleeing at their approach.

To elude the world without eluding its ornaments what more could be prayed for by a mind desiring rest? Uppat, indeed, in June and July was like a land Where all trouble seems Dead winds, and spent waves riot In doubtful dreams of dreams. Lord Amherst, as a rule, spent most of the day fishing. Lady Amherst, I, and two other visitors very often bicycled.
Instead of following him up, and hastening to co-operate with Wolfe, General Amherst proceeded to repair the works at Ticonderoga, and erect a new fort at Crown Point, though neither were in present danger of being attacked, nor would be of use if Canada were conquered. Amherst, however, was one of those cautious men, who, in seeking to be sure, are apt to be fatally slow.
"I am glad you told me that, Mr. Amherst. Of course I want to do whatever I can. I should like you to point out everything " Amherst's resolve had been taken while she spoke. He would point out everything, would stretch his opportunity to its limit. All thoughts of personal prudence were flung to the winds her blush and tone had routed the waiting policy.
