"I ain't," said the leader, "but I can deputise anybody I want to." And so they hurried on to the six-span bridge that crossed the ice-laden river.

One of 'em is worth ten of your fellow-citizens, Mr. Crow, begging your pardon for the remark.
Of course there was a smaller gulf between her and her people the social grades were inclined to fuse on the Marsh, and the farmer was only just better than his looker but on the other hand, she seemed to have far more authority....
