I know that it is true and so does everybody at the front. As his car knew no regulations except his wishes he might take it as far as it could go without trying to cross trenches. I wonder how long it would have taken me if I had had a map and asked no questions to find my way to the gallery seat which Howell had chosen for watching the show.
I recollect that one at his christening had the sweetest lace in the world!" Fourth Lady. "What do you think of this, ma'am Lady Emily, I mean? I have just had it from Howell and James: guipure, they call it. Isn't it an odd name for lace! And they charge me, upon my conscience, four guineas a yard!" Third Lady.
Old Moosetooth looked at the knife, placed it inside his belt and began cutting a fresh pipe of tobacco. "Life in the wilds!" remarked Colonel Howell, as he and the boys regained the scows. "A lazy man's bad enough, but a booze fighter doesn't belong in this camp." "Where could he get anything to drink up here?" asked Norman, a little nervously. "Tell me!" responded Colonel Howell.
By the way, as you have written travels in all parts of this and other worlds, without so much as stirring from your arm-chair, and have calmly and coolly published the same, I must quote to you the rebuke of Howell, who says, "He would not have adventured upon the remote, outlandish subject, had he not bin himself upon the place; had he not had practicall conversation with the people of whom he writes."
"Let's lock up and go home." In a few moments the excited aviators and the well-satisfied Colonel Howell emerged from the aerodrome just as young Count Zept ran up. "Are you fellows going to stay here all night?" he exclaimed, almost out of breath. "I thought you told me you'd meet me at seven o'clock at the car. Father's been there for a half hour. We're waiting to take you home."
The Revillon Freres being the well-known rival of the Hudson's Bay Company, young Zept in his disappointment had also gone to the Hudson's Bay store, but there he had been equally unsuccessful, although at both places he saw plenty of baled skins. Colonel Howell laughed. "My dear boy," he explained, "furs do not go looking for buyers in this part of the world.
It was seldom the case that one fourth of the applicants were really unwell; but every one would maintain that he was very sick, and as it was hard to contend with them about it, they were all sent off to the sick-house. Now this is entirely done away, and my sick-house is converted into a chapel for religious worship." James Howell, Esq.
Mrs Howell cast up her hands and eyes. "How do other ladies manage to obtain their boots before the snow comes, instead of after it has melted?" "Perhaps you will ask them yourself ma'am: I conceive you know all the ladies in Deerbrook. You will find Miss Miskin in that department, ladies, if you wish to investigate."
The crew, out of a common pan, helped themselves to boiled potatoes and fried pork, to which each man appeared to add bannock from his own home supplies. The Indians drank tea. "Gentlemen," remarked Colonel Howell, as he lifted a tin of steaming coffee, "here's to a friend of civilization delicious coffee. We will know him but a few days longer. He will then give way to the copper kettle and tea."
"So far as regards my engagement with Messrs. Howell & Wilson," he said, despondently, "you are right. As regards Miss Barnes, there has been no direct misunderstanding between us, but I am afraid, for the present, that I must consider that well, in abeyance."
