"He seemed so lonely," Emily explained, "and with Christmas coming I couldn't feel comfortable to think of him away from it all." Jean showed Derry her midnight camels. "I am going to do peacocks next," she told him. "I am so proud." He bought all of the camels and a lot of other things. "We'll take them to Margaret Morgan's kiddies tomorrow; I want you to meet her."
A very clear statement of the whole question of Indian management, and of the assumption of the North-West Territories, may be found in Mr. Henry J. Morgan's Annual Register for 1878; while the same admirable work, gives from year to year, a capital resume of the condition of the tribes.
Morgan was greatly agitated. He stopped there, looking earnestly into the judge's face. "Why have you waited so long?" asked the judge, sternly. Morgan leaned over, clutching at the judge's arm.
