With every pound of white wheat flour, the purchaser must buy a pound of some other cereal; with every pound of Graham flour, three-fifths of a pound of other cereal. The purpose of this regulation is, of course, to lessen the use of wheat by increasing the use of the substitutes.
And then he passed on, meaning to go through the gate, and leaving Graham on the grass by the road-side. But before he had gone a hundred yards down the road his better feelings came back upon him, and he returned. "I am unhappy," he said, "and sore at heart. You must not mind what words I spoke just now."
It is centrally situated, thickly wooded, except where destroyed by fire on its southern side, with an average elevation of about three hundred feet. Lina and South Islands, the next in size in the order mentioned, are from one and a half to two miles in length. There is only a canoe passage between the former and Graham Island.
Now you have got another Napoleon." "And I want change for my Napoleon," said De Breze, laughing. "My dear Vicomte," said Graham, "one thing we may all grant, that in culture and intellect you are far superior to the mass of your fellow Parisians; that you are therefore a favourable type of their political character." "Ah, mon cher, vous etes trop aimable."
The dead thud of these as they closed behind him, the sudden cessation of the tumult in which he had been living for hours, the quivering circle of light, the whispers and quick noiseless movements of vaguely visible attendants in the shadows, had a strange effect upon Graham.
"And it's silly to think that Uncle Johnny will like her better than us she's just a poor child he feels sorry for." "Do you suppose mountain people dress differently from us?" asked Tibby. Graham promptly answered: "Yes, silly she'll wear goatskin and she'll yodel." "Anyway," Isobel rose languidly, "we don't want to forget about Uncle Peter " "And our prestige," interrupted Gyp, tormentingly.
These poor Montroses are most unfortunate persons! They had the comfort this spring of seeing Lord Graham marry: the Duchess said, "I thought I should die of grief, and now I am ready to die of joy." Lady Graham soon proved with child, but soon miscarried; and the Duke and Duchess may not live to have the consolation of seeing an heir for we must hope and make visions to the last!
Miss Graham being at home, he was at once shown into the drawing-room, and left there while the maid took his name to her mistress. Meanwhile Teen, instead of going into the lodge, passed through the gates, and walked away up the road. She was utterly alone, the only sign of life being a flock of sheep in the distance, trotting on sedately before a tall shepherd and a collie dog.
Now the young people had become known to each other at picnics and the like in the neighbourhood, but the acquaintance, instead of ripening on frequent meeting into a frank, pleasant friendship, had taken the turn of secrecy and silly playing at love. James Graham was in a lawyer's office, a young articled cleric of seventeen in undue haste to be that delightful thing, a man.
The disposition of the sweepings troubled him far less than the dust he raised; obviously the only place to put it was behind the counters. "Nobody'll see it there," he said in a glow of satisfaction, pausing with the room half cleared. "I always wondered what they did with that sort of truck under the beds, I suppose. Funny Graham never thought of this, himself it's so blame' easy."
