You need not say any more; neither of you need say any more; none of you need say any more. In fact, I beg that the whole subject be dropped right here. I comprehend the feud atmosphere and I don't want any more of it in this triclinium. Let's forget or ignore the feud and enjoy Hedulio's good fare." His compelling personality exerted its magic, as usual. All six feudists relaxed.
They are physically brave, for it is the inheritance of all who live in mountains. Their word is accepted, for they wish the good will of the few among whom they must spend their lives; and to them lying is a form of cowardice. They are sensitive because they are observant and realize they have been criticized and misunderstood misclassed as a rare race of "moonshiners" and "feudists."
Sometimes, with automatic inherited hatred, the feudists would throw whiskey at each other, and Jemina would come home smelling like a French table d'hôte. But now Jemina was too thoughtful to look across the stream. How wonderful the stranger had been and how oddly he was dressed!
Born feudists became snipers, counter jumpers became fencibles, yokels became drillmasters, sweat-shop hands became sharpshooters, aliens became Americans, an ex-janitor Austrian-born became a captain, a rabble became an organised unit; the division became a tempered mettlesome lance springy, sharp and dependable.

What he said was true enough.
Even viewed as feudists, and I was so new to the country that I was inclined to discount the somber and murderous stories of their ways, they were still merely the members of a human wolf pack and much alike. Only this shrewd leader stood out in personal relief. But to this generalizing there must be one exception, and that was to be found in the person of Curt Dawson.
But the Kid knew that he was of the Coralitos outfit from Hidalgo; and that the punchers from that ranch were more relentless and vengeful than Kentucky feudists when wrong or harm was done to one of them.
"He means there are moonshiners on this ridge of Lieutenant Wingate's," answered Miss Briggs. "Huh! Brown Eyes, don't you worry about Tom. Any fellow who is slick enough to say a thing without saying it, is slick enough to outwit the whole breed of feudists and others up here." Grace said she was not worrying, but that they must start as soon as they could replenish their stores.
The shooting soon began to die down, with an occasional shot from the Thompson feudists, probably long-range shots at the fleeing figures of the Spurgeons. "All over," announced Hippy. "We can now safely go out. I am going over to see what the camp looks like." The girls said they too would go.
