"I think they should pay; but their payment should be so arranged that
while no one should be pauperised, no one, whom it might be desirable to
receive, should be kept out because of money considerations."

Again the keen man of business smiled.

"And what would you do with them when you got them here, Olive?" he
asked.

"Well, as I said, the place should be fitted up on the lines of an hotel
or hydro, so that there should be plenty of opportunities for indoor
amusement."

"Yes, but this is essentially an outdoor place."

"Exactly, therefore you should have tennis courts, a cricket field, and,
what is more, golf links."

John Castlemaine lifted his eyebrows.

you are a rich man, and no one has the right to either hoard up money or
to spend it entirely on one's self. Besides, there is a tract of

Thus not only the visitors to the place, but the villagers also, will be
privileged with healthful religious teaching."

"But even then you would meet the needs of only a part of your visitors.
Many belonging to the State Church would come, we should hope."

"They would have the parish church; besides, I said I would have
ministers of all denominations to conduct the services in the church you
will build, so that the needs of people belonging to every s
