I know you have been hoping to build a mill of your own on the Pascataqua, and am interested in the project, for it is a sensible one: there is plenty of money to be made in that section."

"It concerns right-minded people anywhere when a boy who stands on the threshold of manhood makes a grievous mistake." "That remains to be proven." "And it will be speedily, as you must learn to your cost. If you really want a mill on the Pascataqua, I will show you how it can be built at once." "I should like to learn the secret."
I brought the things as far away from the farm as I thought necessary, and then left them in the bushes."

As has been suggested, Walter Neal's ambition was to erect a grist-mill a certain distance up the Pascataqua River, where was great need of one, since land in that portion of the province was being rapidly settled; and, although without capital, he believed it might be possible for him to accomplish his desires.
