Morran's kitchen before a meal which fulfilled their wildest dreams. She had been baking that morning, so there were white scones and barley scones, and oaten farles, and russet pancakes. "Try hinny and aitcake," said their hostess. "My man used to say he never fund onything as guid in a' his days." Presently they heard her story. Her name was Morran, and she had been a widow these ten years.

"There is something for thee to eat," said he to him, and then went his way.
The inn was capital; we had a warm carpeted room, beds of clean, lavendered linen, and all civilised appliances.

Mebbe I could manage a few more of 'em." Mrs.
Cut up one or two tomatoes and pour some soup stock over all, and a dash of white wine. Cover closely and stew very slowly for three or four hours, turning the meat now and then; in doing so do not pierce with the fork, as this will allow the juice to escape. Do not add any water. Make enough potato pancakes to serve one or two to each person with "Wiener Braten." Wipe steak with a damp cloth.
When the meal, which consisted of fried eggs, pancakes, and potatoes, was eaten, the surveyors spent an hour or two about the clearing, examining the nature of the soil and rock. They had something to say to Bates concerning the value of his land which interested him exceedingly.
