With coal on the free list, Nova Scotia could undersell the Harley mines in every Atlantic port; likewise the Harley road would lose two millions in annual freight.

Under these threatening conditions, Mr.Harley was instantly given one hundred thousand dollars by the mines and the railroad to kill the iniquitous bill, and convert to a right opinion any and all who talked of coal and free lists in one and the same breath.

Those one hundred thousand dollars relieved the pressing needs of Mr.Harley, and the bill that threatened coal and railroads was heard of no more.
When, following Mr.Harley's gracious words concerning Richard and Mrs.
Hanway-Harley's disconsolate departure for her own room, Dorothy danced across to Bess, the yellow-haired sorceress rose grandly to the opportunity.

She sent Mr.Fopling to find Richard; and since Mr.
Fopling's weakness was not of the legs--he being a very Mercury, with feet as fleet as his wits were slow--Dorothy and Bess had no more than finished giving and receiving congratulations, _i.

e._, kisses, when Richard appeared and took Bess's labor of congratulation off her hands--or should one say her lips?
Bess was of those excellent folk whose fine friendships know when to go as well as when to stay, and, Richard arriving, she conveyed Mr.Fopling and Ajax from the room, leaving the restored lovers to themselves.
Of what worth now to tell you those sweetheart things that Richard and his angel said and did?
How would it advantage a world to hear that he took her in his arms and held her close?
You, who have loved and have been loved, who were lost and have been found again, well know the blissful routine.
