"By the small gate."
He dexterously dodged the blow, and whirling round secured a hold upon Hunston's collar that peculiar grip which is the specialty of men who have been in the force. Hunston struggled desperately to get free. In vain. Do what he would, he found himself being trotted along to save himself from strangulation. Not only was it physically painful.
It seems that this little town of Hunston is having a violent spasm of politics right now. Rather lucky coincidence, I should say. The dispatch I read was pretty vague, but I gather that there's an interesting fight on between a strong machine and a small but firm reform movement." "Ha!

You're lookin' better'n we expected, and I tell you Hunston's mighty glad to see you up and about again."
