"Mighty severe," briefly and half crustily replied the unknown, with a richness of brogue, that might have stood for a certificate of baptism in Cork or its vicinity. "And a bad road too, sir," said I, remembering my lately accomplished stage. "That's the reason I always go armed," said the unknown, clinking at the same moment something like the barrel of a pistol.
"It's a mighty good square meal. Come on in." "Can't do it. Don't want no supper. Ain't hungry.

"You are not so well this evening," she said softly, laying a cool palm on his forehead. "I think I'd better telephone Doctor Dillon."
