"Well, Alick," said the magistrate, "all well at Longshot Lodge all safe and sound for so far?" "All well, sir, thank you, and safe and sound for so far." "Do you know what I think, Alick?" "No, sir." "Upon my honor and conscience I am of opinion, that it's something in your favor to live so near to me. I act as a kind of protection for you, Alick.
