But Ellen had been so long preparing sentences, trying to utter them, and failing in the attempt, that now, when an opportunity to speak and be heard was given her, the power of speech seemed to be gone. "Do you wish anything, Miss?" inquired Mr. St. Clair again. "Mother sent me," stammered Ellen "I wish, if you please, Sir Mamma wished me to look at the merinoes, Sir, if you please."
"Merinoes, if you please," she answered, without looking up. "Well, what kind of merinoes? Here are all sorts and descriptions of merinoes, and I can't pull them all down, you know, for you to look at. What kind do you want?" "I don't know without looking," said Ellen. "Won't you please to show me some?" He tossed down several pieces upon the counter, and tumbled them about before her.
Ellen was silent. "It's quite a long time since I saw you last," said he "how have the merinoes worn?" Ellen could not bear to look at his face, and did not see the expression which went with these words; yet she felt it.

"One of the Queensland men who was here a week or two ago was telling me about the maritime strike business. It was the first I'd heard of that. Griffith didn't seem to be that way years ago," said Nellie. "Griffith is a fraud," declared Ned, hotly. "I'd sooner have one of the Pure Merinoes than Griffith.
"Cold!" said I. "For this season. It is a very nice colour in summer, Daisy," he said, smiling. And he looked on in a kind of amused way, while the clerk of the merinoes and I confronted each other. There was displayed now before me a piece of claret-coloured stuff, dark and bright; a lovely tint and a very beautiful piece of goods. I knew enough of the matter to know that.
