Arnold twisted uncomfortably, loath to continue bringing up the scene. "I d'n know what was the matter. Yes, old Rollins was there, all right. He's gone away too, the doggoned old thing for good. That's something!" He added, "Aw, quit talkin' about it, can't you! Let's play!" "It's my turn to help Mother with the tomatoes," said Judith. "She's doing the last of the canning this morning.
Truly he was worth a thought, was Mr. Canning, proud stranger within the gates "house-guest," as the society column prefers it for whom, if reports were true, many ladies fair had sighed, sickened, and died.
The jelly reserved to add to the mold can be kept in a warm place till the other has hardened. Fresh strawberries or raspberries, or cut-up peaches, can be used instead of oranges. Canning is so simple an operation that it is unfortunate that most people consider it difficult.
And as to that night of excitement long ago, the world's rough-and-ready justice would hardly have taken much account of Carlisle's generous theory that perhaps the man didn't know what he was doing. By the same token, it would scarcely reopen the case now to admit that kind conjecture.... "I honor from the bottom of my heart, Carlisle," said Canning, "your wish to do the strictest justice.
The British Government would consent to withdraw the Orders in Council on the conditions cited; and for the purpose of obtaining a distinct and official recognition of them, Canning authorized Erskine to read his letter in extenso to the American Government.

All went well until twelve hundred miles of cable had been paid out, and the ship was but six hundred miles from the shores of Newfoundland, when the cable broke again and plunged into the sea. Mr. Canning, the engineer in charge, was dismayed, but not disheartened.
His highest claims to greatness were in a vigorous administration of public affairs and diplomatic ability in his treatment of foreign powers, but not in far-reaching views or aims. As a ruler he ranks no higher than Mazarin or Walpole or Castlereagh, and far below Canning, Peel, Pitt, or Thiers.
The policy seems to have been outlined by Pitt, but was put into execution after his death by the short-lived ministry of Grenville and Fox. The government of the Duke of Portland, which succeeded after a few months, and in which Castlereagh and Canning were the most conspicuous figures, did not deem it expedient to follow up the undertaking.
Mason, Mr. Beirne's sister. You will like to meet her, Mr. Canning." "Delightful," murmured Mr. Canning. Because of his consistent recluseness, foregone to-night for her pleasure, Carlisle had meant rather to exhibit Mr. Canning to enraptured eyes than to subject him to a flood of undesired introductions.
