But what the American is loth to acknowledge is that that growth was as truly a colonising movement a process of imperial expansion as has been the growth of the British Empire.

Did I ever tell you how she is related to me? I call her my niece, but she is really the grand-daughter of my brother, who emigrated to Canada." Thereupon Lady Ogram sketched a portrait of that brother, depicting him as a fine specimen of the colonising Briton, breezy, sturdy, honest to the core.
