Curse upon you! you are a disgrace to any Christian country, and I despise, I say, and defy you. As for you, Buck English, avoid my path, and cross neither me nor any member of my family." "Alick Purcel," said English, "mark my words I'll put my thumb upon you and yours yet. I say, mark them; for the day will come when you will remember them to your cost."
