It was a gorgeous, and he thought a tempting creature; but the trout were evidently not of the same opinion.
Twenty-three had been selected and set apart for this purpose. Colonel Scott learned with indignation that this proceeding was under the direct orders of Sir George Prevost, the Governor General. He at once protested, and commanded the remaining men to be silent and answer no questions.
Courtney laid the paper-cutter carefully on the blotter, and drawing out his cigarette case, he selected one and slowly lit it. I knew his way and waited patiently. "And Lotzen and the Crown?" he said presently. "Do you care for the whole story?" I asked. "Yes, let me have it all," and, settling back in his chair, he closed his eyes and prepared to listen.
