He added it, without thinking, to his general heaviness; they held it a good deal against him, he supposed, to have reduced their proud standing majority to a beggarly two figures; he didn't blame them. I cannot think that the sum of these depressions alone would have been enough to overshadow so buoyant a soul as Lorne Murchison's.
John Murchison's tone expressed not only astonishment but concern. Mrs Murchison was almost mollified. "But I do say it. His future wife is coming here to Elgin next month, she and her aunt, or her grandmother, or somebody, and they're to stay at Dr Drummond's and be married as soon as possible." "Nonsense," said Mr Murchison, which was his way of expressing simple astonishment.
Mr Farquharson proceeded to give his grounds for this confidence and admiration, reminding the Jordanville electors that they had met Mr Murchison as a Liberal standard-bearer in the last general election, when he, Farquharson, had to acknowledge very valuable services on Mr Murchison's part.
In Murchison's address to the Geographical Society just delivered he points out Africa, as being the oldest existing land. He says there is no evidence of its having been ever submerged during the tertiary epoch. Here, then, is evidently the place to find early man.
When we had reached the main road and had proceeded along it for a short distance, we met a cart driven by a young negro, and on the cart were a trunk and a valise. We recognized the man as Malcolm Murchison's servant, and drew up a moment to speak to him. "Who's going away, Marshall?" I inquired.
Murchison, and to him we owe in a great measure the start in popularity which since the foundation of his large kennel the Fox-terrier has enjoyed. Mr. Murchison's chief opponents in the early 'seventies were Mr. Gibson, of Brockenhurst, with his dogs Tyke and Old Foiler; Mr. Luke Turner, of Leicester, with his Belvoir strain, which later gave us Ch. Brockenhurst Joe, Ch. Olive and her son, Ch.

"It is upon my lips to beg you not to send that letter, Finlay." He took his hand from the young man's shoulder, inserted a thumb in each of his waistcoat pockets, and resumed his walk. "On my own account I must send it," said Finlay. "On Miss Murchison's she bids me to. We have gone into the matter together." "I can imagine what you made of it together.
She could not withhold her face from his asking lips, and he had bent to take his privilege when a step in the hall threatened and divided them. "It's only Mr Hesketh going upstairs," said Dora, with relief. "I thought it was Father. Oh, Lorne fly!" "Hesketh!" Young Murchison's face clouded. "Is he working for Winter, too?" "Lorne! What a thing to ask when you know he believes in your ideas.
As he performed it he drew one foot back and bowed himself, which seemed obscurely to facilitate it. The suspicion faded out of Mrs Crow's tired old sharp eyes under the formula, and she said she was pleased to make our friend's acquaintance. "Mr Murchison's changed some since the old days at the Collegiate," Elmore explained, "but he ain't any different under his coat. He's practisin' the law."
