A brazen statue of him used to stand near the senate house, of plain and oldfashioned workmanship.
"Howdy!" he said in an even cordial voice. The hunter walked on without lifting his eyes or making audible reply. To Abram's friendly oldfashioned heart this seemed the rankest discourtesy; and there was a flash in his eye and a certain quality in his voice he lifted a hand for parley.
