"I guess, Massa Gladding 'tend to business in his own way," said the now good-humored General, "but you, Squire, is an old 'quaintance, and you disappointment so great, I didn't like to mention de leg." As soon as Primus uttered the word "Squire," Basset knew that the reconciliation between them was complete.
The trial of the witch is now going on, and uncle saith it looks much against her, especially the testimony of the Widow Goodwin about her child, and of John Gladding about seeing one half of the body of Goody Morse flying about in the sun, as if she had been cut in twain, or as if the Devil did hide the lower part of her.

"Well, won't you come up with me now? By the way, I'd like you to meet my wife and her daughters." "I know your daughters, I believe." "Ah!" "It is about one of them that I wish to speak with you, sir." They were on the second-floor landing by this time. "May I come in?" "Certainly," said Mr. Gladding. Mr. Hamshaw sat stiff and uncomfortable on the divan while Mr. Gladding rang for a maid.
"I hope he has," said Tom, "and seems to me it would be a good thing for Squire Miller to follow his example." "Suppose you tell him so," said Davenport, sarcastically. "Well, seeing as how you're so pressing," said Gladding "I don't care if I do.
"I guessed as much, that somebody was coming, when I heard Tige bark. He makes a different sort of a noise when he gits on the scent of a rabbit or squirrel." "I dare say, Tiger knows a great deal more than we fancy," said the Judge. "Why, Gladding you come on bravely. I had no idea you had made such destruction."
But Gladding, pointing to a canoe not before observed, convinced Basset of the contrary, and it was then agreed that they should first according to the plan arranged approach the cabin and reconnoitre through the window. This being the post of danger was offered to Basset who however could be prevailed on by no entreaties to accept it which finally forced Gladding to volunteer.

The constable did not much relish hearing the badge of an office which he esteemed one of the most important in the State thus lightly spoken of and degraded to a common stick; he, therefore, replied somewhat shortly "I guess, Mr.
Fine weather we're having," greeted the man from the second floor. "I've just been to your flat," said Mr. Hamshaw. "Indeed! Any one at home?" "I don't know that is, I didn't go in. You see are you going home now, Gladding, or downtown?" "Home, of course. I've been downtown all day. Anything you wanted to see me about, Mr. Hamshaw?" "Oh, no nothing important."
"'Cause," said Primus, taking the money with eyes brightening at the sight, "'tween gen'lemen, de trifle was too small." "Well, you're a curious chap. Now most folks would have dunned me right off for the damage. There's Tom Gladding', if he had a wooden leg, and I broke it, don't you suppose he'd make me settle before sunset next day? Besides the law was all on your side."
