CHAPTER XII

The next morning Graham learned further the ways of the Big House. Oh
My had partly initiated him in particular things the preceding day and
had learned that, after the waking cup of coffee, he preferred to
breakfast at table, rather than in bed. Also, Oh My had warned him
that breakfast at table was an irregular affair, anywhere between
seven and nine, and that the breakfasters merely drifted in at their
convenience. If he wanted a horse, or if he wanted a swim or a motor
car, or any ranch medium or utility he desired, Oh My informed him,
all he had to do was to call for it.
