Excerpt from Dot It Down: A Story of Life in the North-West Grace and her brothers, and as soon as she had departed with her father and mother, Tom went up to George Wade and said, Wade, I'm not much given to backbiting a fellow, but I've done it today, and I'm sorry for it. You see I thought you left us in such a hurry that I said you did it to get out Of helping us with the trunks it was mean Of me, I know, for we were able enough for the work ourselves, and I did'nt exactly think what I said. I hope you won't feel hard about it 2 Not a bit, Tom. I left because I thought I'd be more help ashore than a oat. When I saw so many passengers On the boat, I was afraid we'd be shut out at the hotel and its just as well I went as I did, for I had hardly secured our rooms when the crowd poured in, and such a clamouring you never heard some could'nt get fixed anyway. Tom's conscience having now been made easy, the three young men went to work with a wil, and soon had all' the baggage conveyed over to the railway station, a short distance from where they had landed. They then betook themselves to the hotel and after dinner, George Wade, having letters of introduction to the agent of the Hudson Bay Company, asked Mr. Meredith to accompany him to that gentleman's Office.
