I was duly chided and soundly whipped by my grandfather for the part I had played; but he was inclined to pass the matter after that, and set it down to the desire for fighting common to most boyish natures. And he would have gone no farther than this had it not been that Mr. Green, of the Maryland Gazette, could not refrain from printing the story in his paper.
An elderly Armenian gentleman who had a wife with him, stood guard with pistols over her all night. He was so foolish as to threaten loudly anyone who dared approach her. After he had done so several times a man arose from the bed next to mine and strolling to him seized him by the throat. 'O man, he chided.

Polly always chided in grave Quaker phraseology, but, like many of the younger generation, fell into worldly pronouns in seasons of haste or merriment.

Now you find room at the doctor's taple howefer berhaps...!"

Kit waved his hand in a general direction northward over the storm- lashed lake. "What's the good of turning back after getting this far?" he asked.

"Let our friends be, Alasdair," he said, quietly.
