Savvy this there ain't nobody ever goin' t' queer me with Hermy Chesterton. Oh, I'll get ye good, an' I'll get ye soon!" So saying, Bud M'Ginnis turned, and went slowly and unwillingly down the stair. "Gee, but I'm glad he's gone!" said Spike, as he closed the door. "Gee, but I'm glad!" and he drew a deep breath.
As one of the group leaped toward the corral, the priest said to the others: "There is another attack. I have lost hope." Chesterton advanced and asked if he could be of service. The priest shook his head. The child, he said, was the only son of the landlord, and much beloved by him, and by all the village. He was now in the third week of typhoid fever and the period of hemorrhages.
It must not be men, money, and material alone, but some quality that America has had in herself during her century and a half of independent self-realization. Mr. Chesterton, in writing about the American Revolution, observes that the real case for the colonists is that they felt that they could be something which England would not help them to be. It is, in fact, the only case for separation.
Of course I have forgiven her, because she meant it for the best; but I will never go back to Chesterton. Then there came letters from the mother, one letter hot upon the other, all appealing to those texts in Scripture by which the laws of nations are supposed to be supported.

Such names as "Shorty," "Bow-legs," "Texas," "Lazy Bill," "Thirsty Rogers," "Limping Riley," "The Judge," and "California Ed" were in favour. Cherokee derived his title from the fact that he claimed to have lived for a time with that tribe in the Indian Nation.
At times, too, we get an added English termination, as at Casterton, Chesterton, and Chesterholme; or a slight distinguishing mark, as at Great Chesters, Little Chester, Bridge Casterton, and Chester-le-Street. All these have now quite lost their old distinctive names, though they have acquired new ones to distinguish them from the Chester, or from one another.
But she never mentions John. In writing back I have always sent his love, and have endeavoured to show that I would not recognise any quarrel. 'If I were you, said Robert, 'I would not take him with me when I went. Then the three Caldigates were taken off to Folking. A week passed by and then arrived the day on which it had been arranged that Hester was to go to Chesterton and see her mother.
This last passage is valuable, not only because it reveals Mr. Chesterton as a marvellous rhetorician doing the honours of prose to his enemies, but because it helps to explain the essentially tragic view he takes of English history. I exaggerated a moment ago when I said that to Mr. Chesterton English history is the story of the rise of a governing class.
