"There are more ladders by which to climb." "Yes," cried Martin, "and fewer men on them." "But," argued Dunn, "there are other causes of failure in this country.
Many a young fellow, for instance, cannot get a congenial position." "Yes," replied Martin quickly, "because you won't let him; your caste law forbids.

With us a man can do anything decent and no one thinks the less of him." "Ah, I see!" again cried Miss Brodie, more eagerly than before.

"Not only more ladders, but more kinds of ladders." "Exactly," said Martin with an approving glance.

"And he must not be too long in the choosing." "Then, Mr.Martin," said Mr.Rae, "what would you suggest for our young friend ?" But this Martin refused to answer.
"Surely there are openings for a young fellow in Canada," said Dunn.
"Take a fellow like myself.

What could I do ?" "You ?" cried Martin, his eyes shining with loving enthusiasm.
