Lloyd came to look upon him as his model member, and to feel somewhat lost, if for any reason he was compelled to be absent. But Mr. Lloyd was not his only guide and instructor. Dr. Chrystal had attracted him from the very first.
The field is white unto the harvest, but the labourers are so few that it is sad to see how little is being done. What do you think about it?" Bert did not answer at once. He knew well the locality Dr. Chrystal had in mind, and the class of people that inhabited it.
