"Where did you come from?" he repeated, walking up, and laying his hand on the other's shoulder. Then the intruder spoke, but in a strange fashion and in strange words. We leaned forward to listen, but, even when he repeated them, we could make nothing of them. "He's a furriner," said Roberts. "Blest if I've ever 'eard the lingo afore," said Bill. "Does anybody rekernize it?"
This furriner is a visitor here to-day, an' we don't 'low ter hurt him but he's got ter go. We don't want him round hyar no longer." He turned to Lescott. "We're a-givin' ye fair warnin', stranger. Ye hain't our breed. Atter this, ye stays on Misery at yore own risk an' hit's a-goin' ter be plumb risky. That thar's final."
"Don't know, your honour, never saw him before; he looks like a furriner, too." "Come, Mr. Slick," said I, "we are attracting too much attention here, let us go." "Cuss 'em," said he, "I'll attract more attention afore I've done yet, when Old Clay comes, and then I'll tell 'em who I am Sam Slick, from Slickville, Onion County, State of Connecticut, United States of America.
"Santori," replied Forsyth, "is a great Italian, whose scientific researches into medicine and surgery have won him the honour of all nations, save and except the British. We are very insular, my dear Walden! we never will tolerate the 'furriner' even if he brings us health and healing in his hand!
Clayton was in love with her. Well, what did that matter to her? There was more that Raines said. "Goin' away." Raines meant the " furriner," of course. How did he know? Why had Clayton not told her? She did not believe it. But why not? He had once told her that he would go away some time; why not now? But why-why did not Clayton tell her? Perhaps he was going to her.
"His excellency" rather confounded the captain for a moment; but he came about without "takin' more'n a bucketful," as he afterward expressed it to Halloran the engineer. "I knew right then he wus a furriner; I know 'em. They ain't no excellencies in th' navy. But I tells him that the commodore was snug in his berth up yonder, and with that he looks to me like I wus a lady.
"Don't know, your honour, never saw him before; he looks like a furriner, too." "Come, Mr. Slick," said I, "we are attracting too much attention here, let us go."

"Who would I mean but that damn' furriner, Frank Layson? He warn't satisfied with comin' here an' stealin' you away from me! He had to put th' revenuers on th' track o' th' old still that was my dad's afore me, an' has been th' one thing, siden you, I've ever keered fer in my life." "You're wrong, Joe," she insisted. "You're shore wrong. Frank Layson'd never do a coward's trick like that!"
He paused, and at the mention of the walnut Dorothy clutched her hands to her breast and caught her breath, but the man went on: "Ye hain't no native-born man hyar, Thornton, albeit ye've done sought ter run ther country like some old-time king or lord beyond ther water.... Ye hain't nuthin' but a trespassin' furriner, nohow an' we don't love no tyrant.
He had said that the "furriner" cared nothing for her, and had dared to tell her that she was in love with him. Her cheeks began to bum. She would call him back and tell him that she cared no more for the "furriner " than she did for him. She started from the steps, but paused, straining her eyes through the darkness. It was too late, and, with a helpless little cry, she began pacing the porch.
