His warnings are a useful check to the current loose talk of the fire-eaters and preachers of the gospel of vengeance.
Out of its sardonic, devil-may-care face gleamed malevolent eyes which rested for a moment on Dailey, before they came home to the sheriff. "And what is it Leroy would never do?" a gibing voice demanded silkily. Scott pulled himself together and tried to bluff, but at the look on his chief's face the words died in his throat.
"I repeat," said Larry, lying on his back, and holding off his assailants with difficulty, "eliminating badly brought-up dogs, that Ireland is the finest country in the world, and listen to this, Christian! the Irish are the finest people, and the worst governed!" "'The foinest pisanthry in Europe'!" said Christian, in gibing exaggeration. "Larry, you've got awfully English!"
