"Why didn't ye axe him," growled the kinsman of the man who had been shot, "whar the other feller's at?" "What other fellow?" echoed the Lexington man.
She had accustomed them to constant industry, and unqualified obedience to her directions; and for this reason, no one had found it necessary to interfere in their management. Pride was a large ingredient in Phillis's composition.
