Laura suddenly became conscious that the manager of the pulp-mill, a little wiry man, in white shirt and store clothes, was speaking at the head of the table. "In one way, it's not a very big thing we have done, boys," he said; and Laura was quick to notice the significance of the fact, which was also characteristic of the country, that he counted himself as one of them.
"This," he said, "is evidently in preparation for that ridiculous pulp-mill ball. In view of the primitive manners of the people we shall be compelled to mix with, I really think I am exercising a good deal of self-denial in consenting to go at all. Why you should wish to do so is, I confess, altogether beyond me."
In Whitwell's Clearing the effect was intensified by the approach on the fading wood road, which the wagons had made in former days when they hauled the fallen timber to the pulp-mill.
"That wasn't our arrangement." "It was so." "You'll eat all night," Tom complained, almost tearfully. "You'll set there and gorge till you bust." "That's my privilege. I don't aim to swaller my grub whole. I'm shy a few teeth and some of the balance don't meet, so I can't consume vittles like I was a pulp-mill. I didn't start this row " "Who did?" "Now ain't that a fool question?"
Two city men sent up by a syndicate to look for a pulp-mill site and timber rights came along one hot day and found me splitting cedar shingles, with mighty few clothes on. The result was that while I might have made a small pile of money out of them, they sent back to Vancouver for another man and paid him twice as much, though they didn't locate the mill. I felt I had to tell you this."
Wheeler, the pulp-mill builder, who had once sold oranges on the railroad cars, led up to a conversation that gave Nasmyth an opportunity for which he had been waiting. "You and Mattawa are about through with that slashing contract," he said. "You will not net a great pile of money out of it, I suppose?" "My share is about thirty," answered Nasmyth, with a little laugh.
Wilbur, when he reviewed the fact that they had gone foot by foot over nine miles of trail, clearing out the brush and piling it, so that it could be burned and rendered harmless as soon as it was dry, thought it represented as big a two days' work as he had ever covered. "Will the pulp-mill be above or below the new Edison plant?" queried Wilbur on their way home. "Above," said his companion.
