But this goes to show what a real feller Frank Stanhope is. He put a fine grave stone up for ol' Scroggie an' had his name engraved on it. Yes he done that, an' all he ever got from the dead man was his curses.

As they draw still nearer, Geoffrey becomes aware that the farmyard before him is rich with life. Cocks are crowing, geese are cackling, and in the midst of all this life stands a girl with her back turned to the weary travellers. "No,"—slowly,—"I do not. If I did, I should not love you as—as I do." "I don't quite know," says Mona, slowly, "but what Uncle Brian principally studies is—pigs!" And she answers,—.
