And the boy, blazing with fury, pointed his finger straight into his face. "You, Henry Hickman!" he cried. "You are the worst of them all! You, the great lawyer the eminent statesman! I have been among the lowest I have been with saloon keepers and criminals with publicans and harlots and thieves but never yet have I met a man as merciless and as hard as you!
On each side of the colonel was a brass field-piece, with several boxes which he supposed contained ammunition for them. "You seem to be ready for battle, Colonel Hickman," said Deck, as he surveyed the armament. "I am ready; and I expect to have a use for these rifles and field-pieces before night," replied the planter. "To-day?" queried Deck.
Lieutenant Lyon had talked with Colonel Hickman about the band, and he had gathered much information in regard to their operations in the northern and western counties. The planter was a fighting man, as well as a strong Unionist. He had been aware of the approach of the gang, and while he had seven white men living on his estate he had felt abundantly able to defend his property.
Colonel Hickman rode with them, and listened to the narrative, and stated that the young lieutenant had conducted the defence, and that all the gang who gained admission to the house, with the exception of one or two, had been killed or wounded. On their arrival at the mansion the party visited every room.
Besides this, I have pledged myself to buy my charming little Signora a pair of Blenheim spaniels that she has fallen in love with, for which I shall have to fork out a hundred and fifty down. I say, then, again, my dear Hickman, money, money; money by any means, but by all means money; rem, sed quocunque modo rem.

In Mr. M'Clutchy it is possible I may be mistaken; in Mr. Hickman it is possible I may be mistaken I am not infallible I am frail a very sinner, but not removed wholly, I would trust, out of the range of grace.
Soon after, a committee waited upon Crockett, soliciting him to stand as candidate for the State Legislature, to represent the two counties of Lawrence and Hickman. Crockett was beginning to be ambitious. He consented. But he had already engaged to take a drove of horses from Central Tennessee to the lower part of North Carolina.
He is now more assured of Clarissa than ever; and why. Sparkling eyes, what they indicate. She keeps him at distance. Repeated instigations from the women. Account of the letters he has come at. All rage and revenge upon the contents of them. Menaces Hickman. Wishes Miss Howe had come up to town, as she threatened. LETTER XLVI. Clarissa to Miss Howe. Is terrified by him. Disclaims prudery.
The sheriff accepted the invitation; and after shaking hands with, and congratulating Messrs. M'Loughlin and Harman, also took his leave. He had scarcely gone, when a magnificent carriage and four dashed up to the door, in which Topertoe, accompanied by Hickman, took his seat, and again drove off towards. Castle Cumber, where the said carriage only had arrived that morning from, the metropolis.
