The family of the Leslies lived up near Newcastle in the mountains, that is, which stand over Kingston- -at a distance of some eighteen miles from Kingston, but in a climate as different from that of the town as the climate of Naples is from that of Berlin. In Kingston the heat is all but intolerable throughout the year, by day and by night, in the house and out of it.
Boutts, and the Leslies, are well off. But many girls who are in the best society earn their living: typewriters, clerks, book-keepers, and the like. One has carried on her father's drug-store since his death. Most of the young men that could get away have gone, and there are not half a dozen left with any money behind them.

I'm going West." "Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Diego, or Monterey?" "None of them. I'm going to the real West. I'm going to a mining camp." The Leslies straightened their backbones. "Don't spring things on us that way," reproved Bertie severely; "you'll give us heart disease. Now repeat softly." "I am going to a mining camp," obeyed Bennington, a little shamefacedly. "With whom?" "Alone."
