On our return to the house, we found a capital dinner awaiting us.
Indeed, the old soldier had spared neither pains nor expense in
providing handsomely on the occasion. After the cloth was removed, a
nice dessert was laid out, consisting of almonds and raisins, oranges,
and red and black raspberries. The two latter dishes are easily
procured, for they grow more plentifully in the angles of the snake-
fences in Canada than blackberries do in England. They are a delicious
fruit, and particularly grateful in a hot day to the weary traveller.

I need hardly describe our evening's entertainment, save that "we ate,
drank, and were merry." Indeed, it would have been difficult to be
otherwise with Doctor Dunlop as one of our companions.
