Just as Ned anticipated Collins gave the other a sly signal before he opened his mouth.
There are no conveyances, and outside the village these narrow roads dwindle into bridle-paths, with just room for one horse to pass another.

"What do you mean by that?" inquired the bar-keeper. "You've heard of dogs hunting in pairs?" "Oh, yes." "Well, since Harvey Green got his deserts, the business of fleecing our silly young fellows, who happened to have more money than wit or discretion, has been in the hands of Judge Lyman and Slade. They hunted together, Slade holding the game, while the judge acted as blood-sucker.
"Oh, I am simply speaking for the firm," Caruthers replied. "As an individual Lyman can do as he pleases with his capital. Come in, sir." Some one was tapping at the door, and Lyman, looking around, recognized the short and wheezing bulk of Uncle Buckley Lightfoot, the oracle.

After several sessions and much debate, the assembled officers decided that it was inexpedient to proceed.
"Oh, no, not as enemies. You speak of parting as if you were the one who has to vacate." "Yes, I have rented an office over on the other side of the square, on the ground floor." "It is very kind of you to leave me here," said Lyman. "You might have ordered me out. I am glad you didn't." "Such a proceeding could never have entered my head," Caruthers replied.
