"Yes, Mr Denning," he said quietly, "I think there is no more cause for anxiety now, except from the storm. Will you see to your sister, and bathe her face?
Cresswell and Taylor glanced at each other and the Colonel re-lit his cigar. "How much of it?" he asked finally. "I don't know; I thought perhaps two hundred acres." "Two hundred acres? Do you expect to buy that land for five dollars an acre?" "Oh, no, sir. I thought it might cost as much as twenty-five dollars." "But you've only got a thousand dollars."
He discovered that his cigar had gone out, and re-lit it. "Here; if you can remember the next thirty years, suppose you tell me when the War's going to end. This one, I mean." "The Japanese surrender will be announced at exactly 1901 7:01 P. M. present style on August 14. A week from Tuesday. Better make sure we have plenty of grub in the house by then.
