"Good night, little man; and so you get your feet on life's first rung, at Upper Canada College, on Monday morning."
"Yes, Mrs. Gower, and I mean to show them what a New York boy can do."
"That's right; defy circumstance and fate, and mount."
"Good night, and good-bye, dear Mrs. Gower, for I leave, as you are aware, for a run north-east, to look at some mines with our friend Buckingham."
"Yes, so I hear; what birds of passage you men are; but you don't leave until Monday, when your good little wife and Miss Crew come to me during your absence."
"I really don't know what Ella would do without Holmnest and—you."
"Take care of yourself, Elaine," said Mrs. Dale, with a meaning pressure of the hand.
"What for?" she said, rather sadly.
"Oh, for somebody!"
