My remarks, therefore, will be limited. But they will also be candid. To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past.

Upton fiercely sets them at defiance, on the ground that his premises were built before theirs, that his chimney did not come to them, but that they came to his chimney. Neighbours! Neighbours! practise a little more forbearance.
Have a care, friend have a care I'm clerk to the parish clerk to the parish, Sir and I'll indict you for sacrilege." The wooden features of Bunting relaxed into a sort of grin at the alarm of his friend.
Summoned by some of his friends of the Right to beat to arms and call together the Tenth Legion, he answered, "As Representative of the People I ought to indict the Executive Power, but as Colonel I ought to obey it."
