Bunnel, in the pew in front; and when the Bunnels all had it, they sent it on to the people next to them, and so before the doctor reached "thirdly" the whole congregation knew that he wanted to borrow Butterwick's lawn-mower on Monday morning early. A day or two later, while Butterwick was crossing the creek upon a train of cars, the train ran off the track and rolled his car into the water.
Butterwick's dog, the colonel said that he had had a good deal to do lately, in a legal way, with dogs; and he gave me the facts respecting two interesting cases. The first was Tompkins' case. A man called at the colonel's law-office one day and said, "Colonel, my name is Tompkins.
Why, certainly they're taxable. They come in under the head of 'poll-tax. Three dollars apiece. I'll go right down there. Glad you mentioned it." Then I paid him, and he left with Butterwick's twins on his memorandum-book. A day or two afterward Mr. Slingsby called to see me, and he said, "I've got a case that bothers me like thunder. You know Hough the tobacconist?
Butterwick's prowess had impressed her too deeply to permit her to believe that anything but painful ignominious defeat awaited Hilary Vance at his hands. "But he blacks people's eyes and makes their noses bleed," protested Pollyooly. "I'll tear him limb from limb!" roared Hilary Vance, still ferociously, but with less conviction in his tone.

Why, she comes in under the head of 'scientific apparatus. She's put up there to tell which way the wind blows, ain't she? Well, that's scientific intelligence, and the apparatus is liable to tax." "Mr. Slingsby, that is the most absurd thing I ever heard of. You might just as well talk of taxing Butterwick's twins." "Butter You don't mean to say Butterwick has twins?
At last I borrowed Coffin's dog and sent him in to fight Butterwick's dog out. It was an exhilarating contest.
The cherries were ripe during the reign of Butterwick's dog, but they rotted on the trees, all but a few, which were picked by Smith's boy, who subsequently went over the fence in a sensational manner without stopping to ascertain what Butterwick's dog was going to do with the mouthful of drawers and corduroy trousers that he had removed from Smith's boy's leg.
