What sort of climate have you here?
gpt
Much the same as prevails in the neighbouring province of Manitoba, was Ranger’s reply.
human
The summer months usually bright, clear, and very warm, but nights cool.
gpt
How is it later on?
human
The autumn months are the finest of the year.
gpt
No rain?
human
Frequently the atmosphere is dry and free from moisture for several weeks.
gpt
Is your winter exceptionally hard?
human
For the matter of that, replied Ranger,

I suppose you consider it superior to that of the Old Country?
human

Your favourable description, added to my own brief experience, so charms me, that I feel very much like staying where I am,
human
Well, friend, if you are really so minded I daresay we can manage to fix you,
gpt
I am extremely grateful for your kind reception, and courteous treatment, of a perfect stranger, as well as for your further promise and all that it implies; but unless I can be made of some use by you I shall certainly object to becoming a burden here.
human
We shall not let you be that, said Ranger.

To-morrow morning I am going to drive into the railway station, which is some fifteen miles out, on the branch line of the C.P.R. running through the valley. You can go with me, as it will give you a good opportunity of seeing a little more of the surroundings, and perhaps enable you to judge of what there is to be done.
