"Well, Greene," said Dan, "what brings you abroad on a night like this?" "Business!" was the half-whispered reply, "Business, ol' man."
And what I'm coming to is this, the song he used to sing when, in youthful exuberance, we went on the war-path like our young friend over there" he pointed to a young habitant farmer, who was trying hard to preserve equilibrium "Brown's Golden Pectoral will cure that cough, my friend!" he added, as the young man, gloomily ashamed of the laughter of the crowd, hiccoughed and turned away to the tree under which Charley Steele stood.
