The lad, overawed by the major's serious manner, went without debate, putting the note in his pocket. I have seen that note; Sam showed it to me the next day, and so I can give you the contents. It was from Major Buckley to Mary Hawker, and ran thus: "I have sent your boy to you, dear old friend, bearing this.
This Jones is described by the free State men as a bully and a braggart, as only brave when he was not in danger, and as one of the most noisy and obstreperous of the pro-slavery leaders. Though living in Westport, Mo., he was made sheriff of Douglas county, fifty miles from his place of residence. Buckley swore out a peace warrant against Branson he swore that his life was in danger.
"Why didn't you lend me your own cool head and clear brain," retorted the other, "and then we might have done something of the sort? But surely the shot I gave him must tell in the long-run." "Pooh!" said Jack, "it's not much more to him than an over-dose of mustard would be to a cat. However, we've nothing for it but to wait. Perhaps Buckley may have heard our shots."
Buckley had gone to bed, Sam sang a song, and Desborough told a story, about a gamekeeper of his uncle's, whom the old gentleman desired to start in an independent way of business. So he built him a new house, and gave him a keg of whisky, to start in the spirit-selling line.

On the day when he was left alone with Clara, Tom Butterworth and Alfred Buckley stayed at the back of the shop for nearly twenty minutes. It was a hot day and beads of sweat stood on Hugh's face. His sleeves were rolled to his elbows and his hands and hairy arms were covered with shop grime. He put up his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, leaving a long, black mark.
Buckley Simmons sank to his knees: once more Gordon kicked him erect. He spat and spat, constantly growing weaker. "That's an awful lot of blood for a man to lose," he complained. Suddenly he saw upon the right the lighted square of a window. "Why!" he exclaimed weakly, "here's the valley." He pushed Buckley toward the door, and there was an answering stir within ... voices.
He produced a broad thick letter, directed in a bold running hand, "Major Buckley, "Baroonah, Combermere County, "Gipps-land. "If absent, to be left with the nearest magistrate, and a receipt taken for it." "How very strange," said Mrs. Buckley, turning it over. "Where did you get it?" "Sergeant Jackson asked me, as nearest magistrate, to take charge of it; and so I did.
