A certain kind of an eye is an incomparable weapon, and armed men have been cowed by those who possess it, though otherwise defenceless. Jethro Bass had that kind of an eye. "G-guess you wouldn't understand if I was to tell you," he said. Mr. Worthington walked to the window again, perhaps to compose himself, and then came back again.
"G-guess you know, or you wouldn't have come here." "What proof have I that you have it to sell?" Jethro looked at him for an instant. "M-my word," he said. Isaac Worthington was silent for a while: he was striving to calm himself, for an indefinable something had shaken him.
"Do you want to take the appointment along with you to-night?" asked the judge, in surprise. "G-guess that's about it." Without a word the judge went over to his table, and for a while the silence was broken only by the scratching of his pen. "Er interested in roads, Will, interested in roads?" The judge stopped writing to listen, since it was now the turn of the other victim.
I'll come to it in time g-guess it won't run away." Cynthia stared at him, perhaps with a new interest at this plodding determination. She was not quite sure that she ought to stand talking to him a third time in these woods, especially if the subject of conversation were not, as Coniston thought, the salvation of his soul. But she stayed.

The captains over the tens and the captains over the hundreds would want little retainers and who was to pay these? "How about the boys?" asked Mr. Balch.

Sukey, having adjusted the last pin, became hysterical over her handiwork, Millicent Skinner stared openmouthed, words having failed her for once, and Jethro thrust his hands in his pockets in a quiet ecstasy of approbation. "A-always had a notion that cloth'd set you off, Cynthy," said he, "er next time I go to the state capital you come along g-guess it'll surprise 'em some."
G-guess some of 'em hain't as valuable." William Wetherell was beginning to think that Jethro knew something also of such refinements of cruelty as were practised by Caligula.

I got tired of it after a while, made up my mind that I had found one man I couldn't move. Then what bothered me was to get out of that room. If I'd a had a Bible I believe I'd a read it to him.
