Why shouldn't we accept Will Morrison's proposition to occupy it?" "I can't leave my business." "You could run up every Friday afternoon, taking the train to Millbank and the stage to Hillcrest, and stay with us till Monday morning." He stared at her reflectively.

"I don't think they were," Shepherd admitted. "Not altogether, that is to say." "Did they mention any names?" asked Laverick "Morrison's, for instance?
