"Oh, I'm awfully sorry.
A man you know from Winnipeg is coming to see me about a deal in Brandon building lots. The thing looks good and ought to turn out a snap." "The trouble is I haven't much money to invest," Charnock answered, and Festing thought he was hesitating. It looked as if Wilkinson had not seen him yet, for he was standing behind the machine.
"Have you been in England?" Wilkinson asked. "Yes, I was there nearly three years, and only returned a few months before the French landed."
