The man's face hardened, and there came a glint into his eyes such as I had noticed in Mistress Kirby's. "Jedgmatically, I don't know." "Excuse me! I don't want to know, either. But let me explain just what I am driving at. People up North, and in the lowlands of the South as well, have a notion that there is little or nothing going on in these mountains except feuds and moonshining.
I only know that public opinion in the mountains did not consider an arrest, or even a conviction, by the Federal authorities, as a very serious matter during the period from 1880 up to the past two or three years, and little resistance was offered by blockaders when captured. Recently, however, a new factor has entered the moonshining problem and profoundly altered it: the South has gone "dry."
You gain what I lose and the close season for moonshiners is coming on, now that the corn is ripe." Hilda, who did not understand a word he said, laughed softly, as if in amusement at his wit. Von Rittenheim, who had not been able to follow the colloquialisms, frowned at "moonshining," which rang out for his ears above all else. Sydney and Bob looked with horror at the sneering face before them.
Had I used such representations as a mask and secretly played the spy or informer well, I would have deserved whatever might have befallen me. As it was, I never met with any but respectful treatment from these gentry, nor, to the best of my belief, did they ever tell me a lie. Our terms moonshiner and moonshining are not used in the mountains.
