Getz, rallying, "I'll bring it up in Board meeting that you mebbe leave the scholars borry the loan of novels off of you." "But you can't prove it. I shall hold the Board to their contract. They can't break it." Miss Margaret was taking very high ground, of which, in fact, she was not at all sure. Mr. Getz gazed at her with mingled anger and fascination.

"Yore cousin, Bud Spicer, was eddicated. He 'lowed in public thet Micah Hollman an' Jesse Purvy was runnin' a murder partnership. Somebody called him ter the door of his house in the night-time ter borry a lantern an' shot him ter death." "What of hit?" "Thar's jist this much of hit.

"I came honest, and I'm leaving honest, you drunken fool," Brent raved at him. "And don't try any blackmail dodges on me or I'll beat your head off!" "Blackmail!"
