〃Stop； Kalman！ Man； man； you are terrible。 Let me go！ They are coming！〃
〃Hello there！ Steady all。〃 It was Brown's voice。 〃Now； then； what's this？〃
Awhile they stood side by side； then Marjorie came shyly to Sir Robert。
〃I didn't mean to； father；〃 she said penitently； 〃not a bit。 But I couldn't help myself。 He just made me。〃
Sir Robert kissed her。
Kalman stepped forward。 〃And I couldn't help it； Sir；〃 he said。 〃I tried my best not to。 Will you give her to me？〃
〃Listen to him； now； will you？〃 said Sir Robert； shaking him warmly by the hand。 〃It wasn't the fault of either of them。〃
〃Quite true； Sir；〃 said French gravely。 〃I'm afraid it was partly mine。 I saw the dogsI thought it would be good for us three to take the other trail。〃
〃Blame me； Sir；〃 said Brown penitently。 〃It was I who helped to conquer her aversion to the foreigner by showing her his many excellences。 Yes；〃 continued Brown in a reminiscent manner； 〃I seem to recall how a certain young lady into these ears made solemn declaration that never； never could she love one of those foreigners。〃
〃Ah；〃 said Marjorie with sweet and serious emphasis； 〃but not my foreigner； my Canadian foreigner。〃
