"These won't do at all," he said, decidedly, "but they confirm my impression that this man can write something worth while." He addressed himself to Maxwell now, discussing Harrington as impersonally as if he were absent, but from time to time his keen eyes returned to the Southerner's face. "Here's a man," he began, didactically, "who is hundreds of years behind the times.
I guess we’ll go down there pretty soon. Soon’s he can get things fixed up here.” “Where down South?” “Oh, I don’t know. Somewheres in Louisiana.” “It’s to be hoped in New Orleans,” spoke Belle didactically, “that’s the only decent place in Louisiana where a person could live.” “No, ’tain’t in New Orleans.
