I cried, "do you take such savage usage at his hands? Why, you are no slave, to be so handled!" "No," said the poor moon-calf, changing his tune at once, "and so he'll find. See'ere;" and he showed me a great case-knife, which he told me was stolen. "O," says he, "let me see him, try; I dare him to; I'll do for him! O, he ain't the first!" And he confirmed it with a poor, silly, ugly oath.
I wished to go home, as it was so near at hand; but Thornton insisted on making to an old shed, about a quarter of a mile across the fields; thither, therefore, we went." "Stop," said I, "what did Thornton do with the remaining part of the case-knife? did he throw it away, or carry it with him?"
Some trifling remnant of this money still in his pocket, he then travelled on foot along the high-road till he came to a town about twenty miles distant from L ; there he had stayed a day or two, and there he said "that the Devil had told him to buy a case-knife, which he did."

He took it from her, after getting a cut in his dressing-gown, put it in his pocket, and went on with his cigarette. He keeps it with an inscription: "Donne a Alphonse Karr Par Madame Louise Colet.... Dans le dos. "Lively little female!

A heavy gun lay in the hollow of his shoulder under which hung an otter-skin bullet-pouch with its clear powder-horn and white bone charger. In his belt were two huge flint-lock pistols and a long case-knife. "Bon jour, Ma'm'selle Adrienne," he cheerily called, waving his free hand in greeting to a small, dark lass standing on the step of a veranda and indolently swinging a broom.
I wished to go home, as it was so near at hand; but Thornton insisted on making to an old shed, about a quarter of a mile across the fields; thither, therefore, we went." "Stop," said I, "what did Thornton do with the remaining part of the case-knife? did he throw it away, or carry it with him?"
