"There's some sense in that," he admitted. "An advocate, then, it'll have to be," I continued, "and I think it a more suitable trade for a gentleman that was three times disarmed.
"If he gets in; but he will have a fight for it. Our dear friend Albert Stocks has been nursing the seat, and the Manorwaters and scores of Lewie's friends will help him. That young man has a knack of confining his affections to members of the opposite party." "What was Merkland's majority? Two-fifty or something like that?" "There or about.
