"It's a sack of some kind, isn't it?" she asked. "Yes," Hawtrey answered, "it's a couple of three-bushel bags. Some special seed Lorton sent to Winnipeg for. Ormond brought them out from the railroad. I promised I'd take them along to him." "You should have told me. It's most a league round by Lorton's place," Sally returned with reproach in her voice. "That won't take long with this team.

"That may be quite true, my dear," she said; "but, as you know, and as Mr Lorton is probably also aware although he is very young to have as yet mixed much in the world" cut number two! "it is not quite correct for young ladies to receive presents, however trifling, from gentlemen who are, comparatively, strangers to them, and to whom they have been but barely introduced!" cut three!
