Turning, he said, "I'll fix you for this," and started for Highcourt.
Another month of walking before I get home." He was indeed returning home then, for he saw that he should more easily find work in his native town, where he was known and he did not mind what he did than on the highroads, where everybody suspected him. As the carpentering business was not prosperous, he would turn day laborer, be a mason's hodman, a ditcher, break stones on the road.
