Alfred Hardie, with many regrets at the pain I fear I am giving you, your sincere friend and well-wisher, Alfred on reading this letter literally staggered: but proud and sensitive, as well as loving, he manned himself to hide his wound from Sarah, whose black eyes were bent on him in merciless scrutiny.
Our principal object is the verdict, which will remove the foul aspersion cast on my injured client, and restore him to society. And to this verdict we are entitled, unless the other side can prove the plaintiff was insane. Call Alfred Hardie. And with this he sat down. An official called Alfred Hardie very loud; he made no reply. Julia rose from her seat with dismay painted on her countenance.

Run for Mrs. Archbold, somebody.
Near the men stood a few jaded teams and miry wagons; farther on a row of freight-cars occupied a side-track, a little smoke rising from the stacks on the roofs of one or two.
