You used to be a hot-tempered fellow and however, I suppose Premiers can't afford the luxury of assaults." "I'm sorry to say they can't," said Mr. Medland. "I'll wait five minutes where I am." "All right. Good-night," and Mr. Benham disappeared among the trees. At the end of five minutes the Premier resumed his interrupted walk and soon reached his home.
