"Shall I take him to the house or do you want to examine him?" "I?" ejaculated Mr. Hepplewhite. "Mercy, no! Take him away as quickly as possible!" "As you say, sir," wheezed the captain. "Come along, boys! Take him over to court and arraign him!" "Yes, do!" urged Mrs. Witherspoon. "And arraign him as hard as you can; for he really frightened me nearly to death, the terrible man!"
"There is a young man outside who asked me to tell you that he has a paper he wishes to serve on you and would you mind saving him the trouble of waiting for you to go out?" "Another!" gagged Mr. Hepplewhite. "Yes, sir! Thank you, sir," stammered Bibby. Mr. Hepplewhite looked inquiringly at Mr. Edgerton and rose feebly.
