At a certain hour, and that by no means a late one, she would take down a large horsewhip, which hung on a convenient peg in the principal room, and after bluntly ordering her guests to go home, if any resistance were offered, she would lay the whip across their shoulders, and forcibly eject them from the premises; but, as her determined character was well known, this violence was seldom necessary.
I prefer to keep to my own place." "Well, I don't. I say, old chap, don't hit me. 'Twas I put 'em all on the scent of your kid, you know." "So I have heard. Well, then, this makes us quits."

He had told his wife that he would ask Fletcher to give up the borough, and that he would make that request with a horsewhip in his hand. It was too late now to say anything of the borough, but it might not be too late for the horsewhip.
