"Who, then?" A faint smile lighted up the features of Mr Lawrence, who slightly moved his head to cast his eyes upon her. Wilson laughed. "Not Cobin. He's quite satisfied with his little farm, I guess. No, Hinter didn't get much satisfaction from either of us." "May I have the great honour of showing you the cabin, Miss?" said Mr Lawrence..
