"I know where there's a silver lode." "Ah!" said Stormont, "that's interesting! But it's an expensive business to prove and develop a mineral claim, and you couldn't do much alone. I expect you know this, since you stop here clerking for a few dollars a week. You want help." "The man who looks for that ore will want my help," Drummond rejoined.
On the card was printed John Stormont and the number of a post-office box at Winnipeg. "I don't know Mr. Stormont," Agatha remarked. "But if he wants to see me, you may show him in." A few moments later a man entered the room. He was young and neatly dressed, and smiled urbanely as he bowed. "Miss Strange, I suppose? If you are not much occupied, I hope you can give me a few minutes."
"Anyhow, you'll admit that we are short of money and don't know where to get it, while to combine with the Adventurers would supply the needed capital." "Yes," said Agatha. "But Mr. Stormont wants to take your shares for much less than they are worth. You can let him have yours, if you like; he shall not get mine!" "Then you must try to sell them, and you'll find it difficult," Leeson interposed.
"He has done all that was possible. You must write to him." "Very well," said George, and began to talk about something else. A week or two later Stormont bought a large number of shares, but this was all, and the snow was beginning to melt when George got an ominous hint that the other's plans had matured.
Lord Stormont. Great Fire at the Hôtel-Dieu. Liberality and Charity of Marie Antoinette. She goes to the Bal d'Opéra. -Her Feelings about the Partition of Poland. The King discusses Politics with her, and thinks highly of her Ability.
It's too nice for me. In a few days I'll hand the lease over again to its owner, and go back to the pigsty Jim keeps in Stormont Street." "Well, there ain't any pigs in that sty now, Chief; but it's all ready," said Jim, indignant and sarcastic. It was a lucky speech. It broke the spell of emotion which was greatly straining everybody's endurance.
The mining regulations were complicated, and it was not unusual for unscrupulous speculators to dispute a poor man's claim. He knew of instances where grave injustice had been done. Moreover, he noted that Stormont said nothing about Agatha, but thought him the prospective owner of the minerals. People obviously took it for granted that he meant to marry the girl.
The style and manner are praised by Beaumarchais himself, who, in his private quarrel, attempted a reply; but he flatters me, by ascribing the memoir to Lord Stormont; and the grossness of his invective betrays the loss of temper and of wit; he acknowledged, Oeuv. de Beaumarchais, iii. 299, 355, that le style ne seroit pas sans grace, ni la logique sans justesse, &c. if the facts were true which he undertakes to disprove.
Lawrence, in what are now the counties of Glengarry, Stormont, Dundas, Grenville, Leeds, Frontenac, Addington, Lennox, Hastings and Prince Edward, where their descendants have acquired wealth and positions of honour and trust. The first township laid out in Upper Canada, now Ontario, was Kingston.
You want to get out and give yourself a chance. Wasn't Hector Drummond, Hudson's Bay agent at the old Longue Sault factory, your father?" "He was. Don't know how you know, but you've got it right." Stormont smiled. The young man had told Watson much about himself one night when he was drunk. "I don't think it matters. You'd like to get rich and hinted that you knew how to make your pile."
