"I hope, Miss Marie, that you wear rubber heels on your shoes," he observed solicitously. Even Cyril laughed at this, though all he said was: "Come, come, I got you up here to look at the rug." Bertram, however, was not to be silenced. "And another thing, Miss Marie," he resumed, with the air of a true and tried adviser. "Just let me give you a pointer.
I haven't a cent of my own, and I thought if you could let me have the ten dollars you promised me for breaking the pointer, I should be much obliged to you."

It was Dan Evans who talked thus to himself, and he was standing behind the cabin, with his hands in his pockets, and looking at Don's pointer, just as he was the last time we saw him.
If Calvin Bruce ever cares more for a woman than he does for his brown pointer and his fast trotter, she may think herself happy indeed."
