“I haven’t the least doubt of it.” “Two million at least,” he answered. “In gallons that would be something around nine-hundred billion gallons. So you can see how much easier it is to figure in acre feet.” The menaces, and at length entreaties of the duke, to prevail with his son to abandon his present way of life, were equally ineffectual.
