"And not vulgar because not fashionable, by any means," she said; for you may be sure my false and often foolish notions were not gained from her. She stopped before a humble-looking house, and entered the front door. "Where are you going?" I asked with much curiosity. She gently opened a side door, and hesitated a moment on the threshold. "Caroline, come in," said a voice from within.
The two quarreled, and the spirit of ancestral borderers waking in them, they fell to blows.
