Dunbar, for years," said
Duff, when they had finished making the round of the garden. "I have
heard about your garden, but I had no idea that it held such a wealth
and variety of treasures. I had something of a garden myself in the old
country, but here there is no time apparently for anything but cattle
and horses and money. But if you would allow me I should greatly like to
have the pleasure of bringing Mrs. Duff to see your beautiful garden."
Mr. Duff was assured that the Dunbars would have the greatest pleasure
in receiving Mrs. Duff.
"Do bring her," said Barry, "and we can have a little music, too. She is
musical, I know. I hear her sing in church."
"Music! Why, she loves it. But she dropped her music when she came here;
there seemed to be no time, no time, no time. I wonder sometimes--Well,
I must get at my business. It is this letter that brings me. It is from
an American whom you know, at least, he knows you, a Mr. Osborne Howland
of Pittsburgh."
Mr. Dunbar nodded.
"He is planning a big trip up the Peace River country prospecting for
oil and mines, and later hunting.
