It was recalled one evening not
long ago at the Wieldup that the affair
with Sinclair had all taken place
within a period of two years, and
that eractieally all of the aetors in
the event had been together and in
friendly relation . on a Thanlesg'ving
Day at the Dimning Raneh not so
very long before the trouble began.
