Gundry used to be told that if he would set up a rough hotel, or house of call for cattle-drovers, miners, loafers, and so on, he might turn twice the money he could ever make by his thriving saw-mill.
My cousin, Colonel Gundry, has committed you to me. I have no patience with malefactors. I never took this matter up, for very many reasons; and among them not the least was that Sampson, your beloved 'Uncle Sam, thought it better not to do so.
Her health is as good as your own, and you never catch no French actions from her. If she wanted to see you, she would 'a come down." "Oh, now, this is too barbarous! Colonel Gundry, you are the most tyrannous man; in your own dominions an autocrat. Every body says so, but I never would believe it. Oh, don't let me go away with that impression. And you do look so good-natured!"
"You kept early hours with your 'uncle Sam, as you call Colonel Gundry, a slow-witted man, but most amusing when he likes, as slow-witted men very often are. Now will you come and dine with me? I can generally dine, as you, with virtuous indignation, found out at Southampton. But we are better friends now, Miss Heathen."
Then before he could come to see the meaning of this haste because of his very high discipline I was out of his distance, and sitting on a rock, and I lifted my eyes, full of eloquence, to his; then I dropped them, and pulled my hat forward, and said, as calmly as was possible, "I have done enough. The rest remains with you, Firm Gundry." The rest remained with him.
Each was a thoroughly stubborn man, according to the bent of all good men, and reasoning increased their unreason. But the doctor won as indeed he deserved, for the extraction had been delicate because, when reason had been exhausted, he just said this: "Colonel Gundry, let us have no more words. The true owner is your grandson. I will put it back where I took it from."
