She understands this. She and I are to see a lawyer at once. That is why I am here." Seth was completely overwhelmed. A divorce! A case for the papers to print, and all of Ostable county to read! "I I I " he stammered, and then added weakly, "I don't believe it. She wouldn't . . . There ain't no lawyer here." "Then we shall seek the one nearest here. Emeline understands.
Well, here's Hunniwell's pay comin' to him now. He's praised that Phillips thief from one end of Ostable county to the other, told how smart he was and how honest and good he was till Lord A'mighty, it's enough to turn a decent man's stomach! And not only that, but here's the feller courtin' his daughter. Oh, ho, ho, ho! that's the best of the whole business.
I wonder what WILL become of her." The Judge shook his head. Over the road between South Harniss and Ostable a buggy drawn by an aged white horse was moving slowly. On the buggy's seat were two men, Captain Shadrach Gould and Zoeth Hamilton. Captain Gould, big, stout, and bearded, was driving.

He vowed over and over again that he would be everlastingly condemned if he would label a young-one of his with such a crashety-blank-blanked outrage of a name as "Jedidah." "Jedidiah" was bad enough, but there WERE a few Jedidiahs in Ostable County, whereas there was but one Jedidah. Mrs.

Now he is alive and claims his child.
Although Captain Hall had resided in Ostable but a comparatively short period, he was well-known and respected, both as a man and " Here, invention failing, Mr. Sparrow called for assistance. "Hey, Perce," he hailed, addressing his companion, Mr. Percy Clark, who was busy setting type: "What's a good word to use here? I say Marcellus was respected both as a man and somethin' else."
And Beriah Doane was over to Ostable yesterday and he says it's town talk there that young Parker the boy the auto crowd was sayin' good-by to at the hotel had to be helped up to his room.

Babbitt's wrath as he had once estimated the speech of a certain Ostable candidate for political office, to be "like a tumbler of plain sody water, mostly fizz and froth and nothin' very substantial or fillin'." He did not tell Grover of the interview in the shop; he told no one, not even Ruth Armstrong.
And he's hired his lawyer that young cousin of his Bailey Kendrick's son to make you sell out to him?" "Yes." "What's the young feller done about it; anything?" "No; nothin' that I know of." "Humph!
