There were scores of better lawyers and more eminent politicians in the State, but a real leader, a genuine master of men had appeared. In January, 1835, the legislature met at Vandalia.
The sound of the firing had been heard in the main Texan camp and more Texans were coming by scores. "It's all over now," said Obed. The Texans divided into two forces. One drove the main column of the Mexicans in confusion back upon the town, and the other, containing Ned and his friends, charged into the gully and put to flight or captured all who were hidden there.
At length time being called, say twenty minutes to eleven, and Mr. Jorrocks, Nodding Homer, and the principal subscribers having cast up, the hounds approach the cover. "Yooi in there!" shouts Tom Hills, who has long hunted this crack pack; and crack! crack! crack! go the whips of some scores of sportsmen.
Give us the cipher, and, if persons and things are scores of a celestial music, let us read off the strains.

To give myself a countenance, as well as to have all ready for the road when I should find occasion, I turned to quit scores with Bellamy's two postillions.
