"The feller dropped keepsakes from his forefathers like a bird moltin' its feathers on a windy day. I begun to think that if I kep up the chase purty soon he'd begin to shed Continental money and knee-britches." The fugitive turned off to the right into a narrow path that wound through the laurel thickets.
