"The night following his arrival," went on Helen enthusiastically. "We'll make it quite an affair and invite everyone we know the Parkers, the Galloways, the Fentons, everybody " "Don't forget me!" interrupted Steell. "Oh, you, of course!" Roguishly she added: "Aren't you one of the family?" He looked at her and smiled.
The little Galloways, Louis's black "Honeypot" and Stair's "Derry Down," picked their way swiftly and cleanly. They might have been steering by the stars. But it was only their instinct sense of smell which told them when they were approaching a bog too soft to be negotiated.
Between Rollo and this human benefactor there had always existed friendly relations, and it was an open secret that, unless his uncle were to marry and supply the world with little Galloways as well as braces, the young man would come into his money. So Rollo moved on his way through life, popular and happy. Always merry and bright. That was Rollo. Or nearly always.
His funds at Quebec were rather low, but the communication which his agent had made to him of Mr D. Campbell's intention of paying for the green-house and hothouse plants, made him feel very easy on that score; and he now determined to procure a small flock of sheep, and one or two of the Canadian ponies or galloways, as they would soon be required for the farm, as well as two carts or light waggons used in the country.
But, while all the world half inclines to this agreeable mendacity about life, only in America of all civilization is the mendacity accepted as gospel, and suspicion about it frowned upon as the heresy of cynicism. So the Galloways prosper and are in high moral repute.

"Colonel," says I, "you and him remind me of two old Galloways out on the range, standing head to head, and pushing for a couple of hours or so at a time only, you two been pushing for a couple of years." "Uh-huh!" says he.
