Mr. and Mrs. Welland had been as much surprised as their daughter by the young man's sudden arrival; but it had occurred to him to explain that he had felt himself on the verge of a nasty cold, and this seemed to
-142-Mr. Welland an all-sufficient reason for abandoning any duty.
``You can't be too careful, especially toward spring,'' he said, heaping his plate with straw-coloured griddle-cakes and drowning them in golden syrup. ``If I'd only been as prudent at your age May would have been dancing at the Assemblies now, instead of spending her winters in a wilderness with an old invalid.''
``Oh, but I love it here, Papa; you know I do. If only Newland could stay I should like it a thousand times better than New York.''
``Newland must stay till he has quite thrown off his cold,'' said Mrs. Welland indulgently; and the young man laughed, and said he supposed there was such a thing as one's profession.
