The Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him

CHAPTER XVI
11/16

He tells me that he hadn't been inside those cow-sheds for four years." "Come and see me to-morrow," said Peter.
After Dummer had gone, Peter walked uptown, and saw his clergyman.
"Yes," he was told, "Mr.Bohlmann has always stood high in the church, and has been liberal and sensible with his money.

"Not ten blocks from here," replied Dr.Purple, and named the street and number.
Peter looked at his watch and, thanking the clergyman, took his leave.

Bohlmann.
