The children had a great deal to tell of all they had seen at Mistress Galbraith's when Janet came to take them home. "She is, indeed, a very kind lady," said Margaret.

Pretty Pierre, who had his patrol as gamester defined, made semi-annual visits to Galbraith's Place. It occurred generally after the rounding-up and branding seasons, when the cowboys and ranchmen were "flush" with money.
