"Hardin, I've come over to-night to talk a little politics with you," begins Joseph. His eye is glued on the Judge's, who steadily returns the glance. "You need not trouble yourself about my political aspirations, sir," haughtily remarks Hardin, glaring at the stolid visitor, who calmly continues. "I don't allow no trouble, Jedge," Woods drawls. "I'll play my cards open.
Silently the men pressed round, leaving Crocker between the two adversaries in the full light of the swinging lamp. "Now, Jedge," said Crocker, with a motion towards the table. "No!" returned the Judge, with white, fixed face, "he won; let him draw first. I only want a square deal." A low hum of surprise went round the room. Garotte was more than satisfied with its champion.
And what was any family tree worth if it was not rooted in Virginia soil? "Effen the Jedge was a king and wo' a crown," said Mandy's John to Daisy, "he couldn't look mo' bawn to a th'one." Daisy nodded. "Settin' at the head o' that table minds me o' whut my old Mammy used to say, 'han'some is as han'some does. The Bannisters done han'some and they is han'some."
"I conceit it is a good deal in the breedin'," answered the trapper. "There be some that don't know good from evil in natur', leastwise, they don't seem to have any eyes to note the difference; and what isn't born in a man or a dog you can't edicate into him.

If you killed me, you'd be elected County Jedge; if I killed you, what chance would I have o' gittin' away? I'd swing fer it." He was outside the gate now and unhitching his horse. He started to turn the beasts but Hale stopped him. "Get on from this side, please." With one foot in the stirrup, Dave turned savagely: "Why don't you go up in the Gap with me now an' fight it out like a man?"
"Say, Jedge, did you give her that option she was looking for? Because if you did she can't get out of it so easy." Judge Fulsom twinkled pleasantly over his bulging cheeks.
