I wouldn't trust him as far as I could see him." "This is simply astonishing," said the doctor. "I wouldn't have believed it possible. Are you sure it was Longfellow, Mr. Butterwick?" "Why, certainly, of course; I've seen him often before.
Then, as the sap did not come, Butterwick's wife's uncle said he thought the spigot must be jammed in so tight that it choked the flow; and while Butterwick tried to push it out, his wife's uncle fed the fire with some kindling-wood. As the spigot could not be budged with a hammer, Butterwick concluded to bore it out with the auger; and meanwhile his wife's uncle stirred the fire.
"If they didn't at once, they're not very likely to later." "Oh, no: they won't now," said Pollyooly confidently. "You see as soon as he heard that Mr. Butterwick was her her fiongsay" she hesitated over the word because Hilary Vance had shaken her original conception of its pronunciation "he gave her up for good." "That is a blessing," said the novelist in a tone of yet greater relief.
It didn't seem to occur to him to go home, and still Butterwick didn't come up. The next day I loaded a shot-gun and determined to kill him at any sacrifice. I aimed carefully at him, but at the critical moment he dodged, and two handfuls of bird-shot went into the piano and tore it up badly.

"Indeed! Was he there? Where did you say he was?" "Why, over here at the course. I saw him and General Harney, and a lot more of 'em.
