As the men of the town seemed to be moral cowards, she was going to enlist the women in this war, and as the first step in her campaign she proposed to hire the Honourable Abner Handy to assist the city attorney in fighting this case, and as a retainer she would herewith and now hand him her personal check for five hundred dollars.
His manner was rough, but our hero was not afraid. He answered frankly, "I am hiding." "Hiding? Who from?" "From Abner Holden." "Humph! Why should you hide from him? What has he to do with you?" "I am bound to him, and he is angry with me because he thinks I interfered in a trade of his. He wanted to beat me, so I ran away." "Good!" said Ralph, approvingly. "Tell me about it."
Richard Dudley, of Williamsburg, intelligence of a surprising nature; namely, that an uncle of Abner's mother, Andrew Hite, of Sterling County, Virginia, had died, leaving a will by which Abner was heir to all his worldly possessions. Richard Dudley urged upon Abner the necessity of coming at once to Virginia in regard to this inheritance.
"Ah, I know that," cried Abner, "and it is ungrateful and cowardly to reproach you, my more than father. It was the suddenness of the shock that made me utter that unmanly plaint. Forgive me.

As long as he was still unprovided with a horse, there was still a chance of Spitfire. He resolved, if necessary, to abate something from the rather high price he had demanded in the morning. Mr.

"You'll not knock anybody down, you young villain!" roared Abner Sharp in a rage. "I'll teach you to come here and drink and carouse, and bring disgrace upon the fair name of Brill College! I'll have you dismissed and sent home in disgrace!" "You're making a mistake " began Dick. "No, there is no mistake.
But even with those advantages he did not dare attempt getting the buggy out of the barn, and decided to use the old discarded carryall, relic of "Cap'n Abner," which now stood under the open shed at the rear. George Washington looked at him in sleepy wonder as he tiptoed into the barn and lit the lantern.
