And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron. Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
As she sat dreaming, suddenly a figure intercepted the sunshine, and, looking up, she saw Abner Dimock's father, the elder Abner, entering the little wicket-gate of the garden.
Urban democracy, working on a large scale, has declared itself finally, and what we have is the organization of the careless, the ignorant, the envious, brought about by the criminal and the semi-criminal, for the spoliation of the well-to-do." Abner began to be ruffled by these cross-references to the city they were out of place in the uncontaminated country.
But we know well enough, wherever your brothers have gone, and for whatever cause they have gone, that you have done nothing worse then go daft, as women will, to shield a fellow that's used you ill. You shall put us to no more shame while I am your father and you under my roof. Abner, fill up a bowl with the pudding."
But that was all there was to it, and in the end it was Abner Handy or no one. After their wedding, Nora and Abner Handy set about the business of making politics pay. That is a difficult thing to do in a country town, where every voter is a watchdog of the county and city treasuries.

She was completely at home. And so by this time was he. To deepen the impression, Medora asked Abner to help her lay the table.
"I thought we might as well have an understandin' about it," said the squire. "So you won't hire out the boy?" "No, I cannot, under the circumstances. If I did I should consider his services worth more than two dollars a month." "I might give him two'n a half," said the squire, fancying it was merely a question of money. "How much do you pay Abner Kimball?"
"What!" cried Ben Greenway, "ye speak wi'out sense or reason. Hae ye forgotten that this is Mr. Abner Marchand, your fellow-vestryman an' your senior warden? An' to him do ye talk o' takin' awa' his goods an' legal chattels?" Bonnet looked at Greenway with indignation and contempt. "Now listen to me," he yelled.
