There was a violent splash in the water, a scramble up the bank, a bound or two toward the woods, a pitiful bleat, and then all was still. "We've got 'im," said Jim. "He's took jest one buckshot through his heart. Ye didn't touch his head nor his legs.
Many's the kind thing he's done in old days for me and mine I'll never forget them! But all these last few years oh, I know, I know. You can't go and shut your heart up, and fly in the face of all the duties the Lord laid on you, without losing yourself and setting the Lord against you.
