He seized me by the collar, and being a powerful man, he wrested the cowhide from my grasp, and before I could make any successful demonstration, he laid the weapon about my legs, till they were in no better condition than I had left Ham's the evening before. "I'll teach you to strike my son!" said he, breathless with excitement. "He struck me," I flouted. "No matter if he did; you deserved it.
The heavy, expensive furniture was of a pattern new to me; and on the mantel were three or four photographs of ladies in the alluring costume of the musical stage, in which Tom evinced a particular interest. "Did grandfather send 'em?" he inquired. "They're Ham's," said Ralph, and he contrived somehow to get into those two words an epitome of his cousin's character.
I was very much depressed in spirits; very solitary; and felt an uneasiness in Ham's not being there, disproportionate to the occasion. I was seriously affected, without knowing how much, by late events; and my long exposure to the fierce wind had confused me. There was that jumble in my thoughts and recollections, that I had lost the clear arrangement of time and distance.
"'Well, go on, Ham; tell us the rest, said Aunt Sarah. I was so much amused at Ham's story that I kept rather quiet. "'Well, said Ham, 'den dey took de hoss by de bridle and made me git off.

And then, before the public mind had become sufficiently settled to inquire into the matter, the rumor changed itself into a piece of positive news: "The widder Kinzer's moved over into Ham's house, bag and baggage."
"Now I can't sleep in Ham's room any longer, I suppose I'll have to go out on the roof. I won't sleep in the garret or in the cellar." "That will be a good deal as Mrs. Morris says, when she comes," calmly responded his mother. "As Miranda says!" said Dab, with a long breath. "Miranda?" gasped Samantha and her sisters in chorus.
