It was a delicious dinner, but poor Mrs Fidler soon began to look troubled, for her master got on very badly; and Tom, who had felt as if his plate had been filled with bitter sand, so hard was the task of eating, refused a second help! This was too much for Mrs Fidler, who looked piteously from one to the other, and exclaimed "Is there anything the matter with the veal pie, sir?" "Eh?
So home, and there found, as I expected, Mrs. Pierce and Mr. Batelier; he went for Mrs. Jones, but no Mrs. Knipp come, which vexed me, nor any other company. So with one fidler we danced away the evening, but I was not well contented with the littleness of the room, and my wife's want of preparing things ready, as they should be, for supper, and bad. So not very merry, though very well pleased.
The receiver was in her hands in a moment. "Hello!" she called, almost choking with excitement. "Will you tell your father," called back a man's voice at the end of the wire, "that the cattle are coming home from the range. Last night's snow was too much for them, and Jim Fidler has just phoned through to warn us.
At York Factory the Colonists had met a Hudson's Bay Company officer Peter Fidler on his way to England. He was the surveyor of the Company and a map of the Colony of which a copy is given by us marks the Colony Gardens, where Governor Miles Macdonell lived.

"But the millstones are on the floor above," said Tom. "Yes, I know, my boy, for the present; but I'll soon have them lowered down. There, the place will do splendidly, and Mrs Fidler will be at peace."
"I won't quarrel with him," he said to himself; and just then Mrs Fidler appeared with a covered dish, which she placed before the visitor. "Thankye," he said shortly. "Take the cover away with you."
"I have something else to think about. You will have everything ready, Mrs Fidler. I have been so separated from my brother nearly all my life, that I feel I owe him every attention." "I will attend to it all most carefully." "He may come down to-morrow, for I have written saying he is most welcome." "Make yourself quite easy, sir. His room shall be ready.
I can grace the hand of my Birmingham fidler with only a rusty instrument, and his back with barely a whole coat; neither have I a mace for the inaugeration of the chief magistrate.
