"I have changed my hat," the Mayor goes on, "but remember my hat of this morning." "This morning the army and the people were face to face, and there was danger of a conflict; now, however, the people are alone, the people are the masters." "Masters and hostile; have a care!" "No matter, I have promised, and I will keep my promise."
"Seems to me," said the Mayor, assuming judicial functions for the time being, "unless you've disgraced yourself, you can't hurt much by saying. You say you're the Squire's son; this gentleman I didn't catch your name, sir? Armstrong? Mr Armstrong says he's not as sure as you are. Seems to me, if you tell one thing, you may as well tell another.
At last the mayor, being sorely perplexed, discharged him, but warned him that he proposed to inform the prosecuting attorney's office and to ask for orders. The news had spread. On leaving the mayor's office, the old man was surrounded and questioned with serious or bantering curiosity, in which, however, there was no trace of indignation.

"I'll admit that Stewart seems to be different these days in some respects, but unless he has made a clean change of all his nature in this shift of some of his ideas, you'd better not offer him any more!" warned the Senator. "I never detected any 'For Sale' sign on him!" The Senator's secretary stepped into the study. "Find Mayor Morrison in the ballroom and tell him I want to see him here."

More than this, her very heart-strings are knit up with those of our child." "Mayor Packard," I had resumed work, "was any letter delivered to her that day?" "That I can not say."
