I find that that is not true.

Our winter has held off so long that another vessel from the mainland has called--you can see her lying in the bay.

She will be returning to Picton to-morrow.

I think it right to tell you this; not that we do not need you now as much as we did at first; not but that my hope and courage would falter if you went; but now that you have seen the need for yourself, how great or how little it is, just as you may think, you ought to reconsider, and decide whether you will stay or not." Caius spoke hastily: "I will stay." "Think! it is for four months of snow and ice, and you will receive no letters, see no one that you could call a friend." "I will stay." "You have already taught me much; with the skill that you have imparted and the stores that you have brought, which I will pay for, we should be much better off than if you had not come.

We should still feel only gratitude to you." "I have no thought of leaving." "Remember, you think now that you have come that it is only a handful of people that you can benefit, and they will not comprehend the sacrifice that you have made, or be very grateful." "Yes, I think that," replied Caius, admitting her insight.
