Nicest, civilest fellow you'd meet; but no more conscience than that kangaroo-dog of Tom's. He and Bat had been four or five years away north toward the Gulf, and had just come down.
"I understand you," answered I; "you mean that I talk too much; it is true I own the offence nothing is so unpopular!
