"No, Santin never was in the war," said Mrs. Todd with lofty indifference. "It was a cause of real distress to him.
"I don't know, sir," he replied in a lower tone. "I couldn't explain it on oath; I don't care to explain it, sir." No lie could serve him now better make a clean breast of the villany. "And you still own the gun?" Todd had never seen his master so gentle before not under a provocation such as this. "I do, sir." Gadgem's voice was barely audible.
Mary Todd was beautiful and Lincoln and Douglas were rivals for her hand. Observers at the time thought that with a brilliant and talented girl the graceful and dashing Douglas would surely be preferred.
