 cussion were over, &quot; I do not believe you know any 

 thing about it.&quot; 



&quot; What what what s that you say ?&quot; 



&quot; I do not believe you are any better acquainted 

 with the right mode of gathering seeds than I am.&quot; 



&quot; Well,&quot; he replied, as he went out of the door, 

 with a pleasant smile, &quot; the fact is, I do generally get 

 a new supply every year from Thorburn.&quot;
