Hinkley, advancing with moderate pace, now thrust forward one, and now the other pistol, accompanying the action with a specific sentence corresponding to each, in manner and form as follows: "Back, parson back, whiskers! Better turn, and look out for the roots, as you go forward. There's no seeing your way along the road by looking down the throats of my puppies.
I presume that the stranger also loves Miss Cooper." "But he has no such right as Bill Hinkley." "Why not?" "Why not? Why, Bill is a native here, has been loving her for the last year or more.
"How! you wouldn't have me fight her?" said William Hinkley, with an effort to smile. "Why, we may call it fighting," said the advocate for such wholesale pugnacity, "since it calls for quite as much courage sometimes to face one woman as it does to face three men. But what I mean that you should do with her is to up and at her.
He scratched his head impatiently, not without bringing away some shreds of the hair, jumped on his horse, and, without making many allowances for the rough and hilly character of the road, went off at a driving pace for the house of Uncle Hinkley. Here he drew up only to ask if Brother Stevens had returned. "No!" "Then, dang it! he never will return.
Hinkley, only regretting that I should be the innocent cause of any misunderstanding or discontent among its members. I know not exactly what can be the meaning of your son's conduct. I have never offended him; but, as my presence does offend him, I will withdraw myself " "You shall not!" exclaimed old Hinkley, who re-entered the room at this moment, and had heard the last words of the speaker.

"I'll lick the conceit out of him yet!" he muttered, as Stevens, turning away, ascended to the spot where William Hinkley stood. "I owe you thanks, Mr. Hinkley," he began. The young man interrupted him. "You owe me nothing, sir," he answered hastily, and prepared to turn away. "You have saved my life, sir." "I should have saved your dog's life, sir, in the same situation.
"I don't deny their merits and their virtues, and their goodness of heart, William Hinkley," was the answer of the maiden "I only say that the possession of these qualities gives them no right to claim my sympathies or affection.

It was not merely from the hateful sight of his rival, or the monotonous expostulation of his mother, that the poor youth fled; it was sometimes to escape the heavily chastening hand of his bigoted father. These things worked keenly and constantly in the mind of William Hinkley. They acquired additional powers of ferment from the coldness of Margaret Cooper, and from the goadings of his cousin.
