Over there, twenty thousand people in a million elect themselves gentlemen and ladies, and the nine hundred and eighty thousand accept that decree and swallow the affront which it puts upon them. Why, if they didn't accept it, it wouldn't be an election, it would be a dead letter and have no force at all.
"I aimed to tell you as soon as I got home to-night, but Wash Gibbs didn't give me no chance." The man held her close "Dad Howitt sure puts the thing just right, Sammy.
