While Finn dozed, another cart approached him from the little town he had left behind, and in this second cart were two extremely angry men, one of whom strongly desired Finn's recapture on mercenary grounds, while the other desired it upon these grounds and others also.
I sold him 'Robinson Crusoe, and 'Little Women' for his daughter, and 'Huck Finn, and Grubb's book about 'The Potato. Last time I was there he wanted some Shakespeare, but I wouldn't give it to him. I didn't think he was up to it yet." I began to see something of the little man's idealism in his work. He was a kind of traveling missionary in his way. A hefty talker, too.
"It must come from something wrong." "That may be said of all sickness." "And therefore one tries to find out the cause. She says that she is unhappy." These last words he spoke slowly and in a low voice. To this Mrs. Finn could make no reply.
"Silverbridge says it was his fault. What does he mean?" "I suppose he was riding too close to Mr. Tregear, and that they came down together. Of course it is distressing, but I do not think you need make yourself positively unhappy about it." "Would you not be unhappy if it were Mr. Finn?" said Mary, jumping up from her knees.

"Do you mean to put a secret-service operative aboard disguised as a deckhand?" "Huh! Skinner, you distress me.
In his adventurous life Finn had many times killed to eat, as he had frequently killed in fighting and as an administrator of justice. But he never had borne malice and never would, for that would have been clean contrary to the instincts of his nature and breeding.
