I wouldn't want to go to Winnipeg if I had only somebody to keep me company." He turned towards her suddenly with decision in his face, and Sally lowered her eyes.

"That's about right, in this part of the country, anyway." "You get up a regular circus poster saying what you think of the G. & M., and call on the farmers to hitch up and drive to your lumber yard.
"I'm saaving a few pounds for that young dog, and I believe in you. I'll be two hundred, and that means " "Twice as much land," said the squire, holding out his hand.
